Australia’s representative on the international Airbnb Host Advisory Board  talks about how he makes co-hosting work, how we anticipate the fallout from rising fuel costs and his new best friend, Claude the AI bot.

Geoff Gedge is one of Australia's most experienced and recognised short-stay hosts, with 18 years in the industry and 13 years on the Airbnb platform. Based in Victoria, Geoff hosts two properties in the picturesque spa country town of Hepburn Springs, where his commitment to exceptional guest experiences has earned him continuous Airbnb Superhost status.

A trusted voice in the hosting community, Geoff serves as an Airbnb Ambassador and currently represents Australia on the Airbnb Host Advisory Board — bringing the perspectives of Australian hosts directly to Airbnb's global leadership.

Before his career in hospitality, Geoff built a distinguished professional background as both an investment banker and lawyer, bringing a sharp analytical mind and a deep understanding of business to everything he does. That foundation, combined with a genuine passion for people and place, has shaped his approach to hosting — one built on warmth, attention to detail, and creating stays that guests remember long after they've checked out.
