How do I add nearby places to my listing?

The Places Nearby section lets you list points of interest close to your property — train stations, universities, shopping centres, parks — with distance and travel time. This helps guests quickly assess whether your location suits their commute.

How to add a nearby place

  1. Log in and click My Listings in the Dashboard sidebar.
  2. Click Edit listing next to your listing.
  3. Go to the Amenities tab (Step 3) and scroll down to the Places Nearby section.
  4. Click + Add Place.
  5. Enter the place name, distance (with unit), travel time in minutes, and transport mode.
  6. Click Save.

Repeat for each place you want to add. To remove an entry, click the × button next to it.

What to include

  • The nearest train or tram station and approximate travel time
  • Universities or TAFE colleges within a reasonable commute
  • The nearest supermarket or shopping centre
  • Proximity to the Australia CBD
Tip: Guests often search by proximity to a specific suburb or university. A well-filled Places Nearby section helps them immediately see whether your location works for them.
