Best IPTV for Airbnb & Holiday Rentals in Australia 2026

By Xerquvatv Team · Published 3 October 2026

Guests who book a short-term rental now expect a telly that does more than scroll a blank home screen. They want the footy on a Friday night, something for the kids on a rainy morning and a film to wind down with. Kitting out every property with a Foxtel box or a stack of streaming subscriptions gets expensive fast. For Australian Airbnb and Stayz hosts, IPTV is the tidier answer: one affordable plan, loaded onto the existing TV, that quietly keeps guests happy without blowing the budget.

What guests actually expect from the TV

Reviews mention the small things, and entertainment is one of them. A holidaymaker wants the AFL; a family wants kids’ channels and a few movies; a remote worker wants the news on. A single IPTV subscription covers all of that. With Xerquvatv your guests get 25,000+ channels, 120,000+ films and box sets, Australian free-to-air, international feeds and kids’ programming — far more than any one streaming app, ready the moment they switch the TV on.

IPTV versus a Foxtel or Kayo box

The usual options add up quickly across a rental. A Foxtel package with the sport tier and an iQ box runs well past $100 a month, and a Kayo or Netflix login is one more account to manage and reset when a guest signs themselves out. IPTV replaces the lot with a single line-up. One Xerquvatv plan carries the AFL, NRL, cricket, the A-League and overseas competitions alongside free-to-air, kids’ channels and on-demand movies — at a fraction of the running cost.

It works on the TV you already have

You do not need to rewire the place. If the rental has a Samsung or LG smart TV, an Amazon Fire TV Stick, an Android TV box or an Apple TV, you are set. You install an IPTV player, enter the login we send you and the channels appear. Activation takes under 15 minutes, so a single afternoon sorts a whole property. A cheap Firestick in an older TV’s HDMI port turns it into a smart TV for very little outlay.

Easy for guests, no contract for you

Once it is set up, there is nothing for the guest to learn. They pick up the remote, open the app and the full guide is there — live channels, a 7-day catch-up for anything they missed and a search for films. No logins to hand out, no passwords taped to the fridge. For you as the host there is no lock-in contract either: you choose a plan length, and there is a 7-day money-back guarantee if it is not the right fit. Nothing renews unless you decide to renew it.

What it costs across your properties

This is where it earns its place. A single Xerquvatv subscription starts at $15 AUD a month for one screen, drops to around $45 for six months, and works out near $6 a month on the 12-month plan at $69. Set that against a $100-plus cable bill per property and the saving across even two or three rentals is substantial. Multi-screen plans are available if a larger property has several TVs you want covered under one subscription.

One sensible note: offer the service as reasonable in-home entertainment, the same way you provide Wi-Fi or a kettle. Keep the viewing to normal household use within the property, and you have a genuine comfort that shows up in your reviews.

Can I use one IPTV subscription across several rentals?

Each property’s TV needs its own active connection for simultaneous use, so a multi-screen plan suits a host with a few rentals. Message us on WhatsApp and we will match the right plan to how many TVs you run.

Will my guests find it easy to use?

Yes. It behaves like any TV guide — open the app, browse live channels or search for a film. There are no accounts for guests to log into, so there is nothing for them to set up or break.

Do I need fast internet at the property?

A standard Australian NBN connection is plenty. Around 25 Mbps handles 4K comfortably and HD needs far less. A wired connection to the TV box gives the steadiest picture, though solid Wi-Fi is fine.

Is there a lock-in contract?

None. You pick a plan length — monthly up to 12 months — and there is a 7-day money-back guarantee. Nothing renews automatically without your say-so.
