What's the minimum CDA short-stay length?

Typically a few weeks. Tell us your exact start and end dates when applying and we will match a room with the right window. Most cities have rooms available for same-week move-in.

Is CDA short-stay cheaper than an Australian Airbnb or serviced apartment?

Usually substantially cheaper — Airbnbs price per-night, serviced apartments charge a premium, and both cost more once you factor in cleaning fees and the lack of bills-included pricing.

The CDA difference

Why short-stay in Australia needs its own category

Australia's mainstream rental market is built around 12-month leases — short-term renters fall into either expensive hotel/serviced-apartment bookings or messy Airbnb arrangements that aren't priced for multi-week stays. CDA's short-stay format fills that gap: rooms designed for 4–24 week stays, priced per-week, in real shared homes (not anonymous apartments), with bills included so you don't have to set up utilities for a stay you know is temporary.
