4 - Sarah Andrews, arguably Australia's most successful Airbnb host, now has the world firmly in her sights
Description
Sailor, stylist and entrepreneur, Sarah Andrews is the owner of Captain’s Rest, a once desperately run-down but now fairytale-like, renovated shack located in the north-western Tasmanian town of Strahan.
After the breakdown of her marriage and a couple of serious health crises, Sarah took a gamble and purchased the shack on a whim – sight unseen – in the mid 2010’s.
Although originally intended purely as a sanctuary for her, it has since become one of Australia’s most in-demand short-term rental properties, commanding a nightly rate and occupancy levels most hosts can only ever dream of.
These days, Sarah runs ‘The Hosting Masterclass’ both online and in-person around Australia and has exciting plans to take the class to a global audience in 2020.
