Looking to boost bookings for your Airbnb or short-term holiday rental in Newcastle, NSW?

With professional photography tailored to the Airbnb and short-stay market, Ideal Photography ensures every room, detail, and view of your property is shown in its best light—literally.
Why Airbnb Photography Matters in Newcastle
Newcastle is fast becoming one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in NSW. With stunning beaches, historic architecture, and a thriving food and arts scene, the city attracts thousands of guests every year. However, with this popularity comes fierce competition among Airbnb listings.
According to Airbnb data, listings with professional photos can earn up to 40% more revenue and receive 24% more bookings. High-quality images help guests imagine themselves in your space, trust your listing, and click that "Book Now" button.
Whether you're:
A private Airbnb host
An Airbnb property manager with a growing portfolio
A holiday letting agency servicing Newcastle and the Hunter region
...our custom Airbnb photography packages are designed to meet your needs.
What’s Included in Our Newcastle Airbnb Photography Packages?
We understand what works for short-term rentals—and what doesn’t. Our approach goes beyond point-and-click photography. Here’s what’s included:
✔ Bright, Clean, and Inviting Room Shots
Every bedroom, bathroom, living space, and outdoor area is carefully staged, composed, and lit to look its absolute best. We use natural light where possible and professional lighting techniques to ensure your images look warm and welcoming.
✔ Highlighting Unique Selling Points
Got a spa bath, ocean views, heritage features, or a funky coffee nook? We’ll capture it in ways that help your listing stand out. We focus on the details that make your property one-of-a-kind.
✔ Lifestyle and Amenity Shots
We’ll help potential guests visualise their stay with lifestyle-style images showing how spaces are used—like wine glasses on the balcony or a towel rolled beside a pool.
✔ Drone Options
Add aerial drone shots to give your Newcastle property the edge. These are perfect for showcasing sunsets over the harbour or proximity to the beach.
