  Prepaid starter packs on sale + 4g wifi modem.

  Tell the guests that there's a limit of Xgb on the sim card and they can use as much as they like until its exhausted. This should sort your guests out for about $5-$10 per stay.

  This will be fine for browsing, but not for streaming netflix, etc

  The only other alternative is to get a proper internet connection, which is $60+/month.

    This seems very interesting.
    Prepaid starter packs on sale + 4g wifi modem. Can you share the complete price package with everything?

      Have a look at these deals for starter packs: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/tag/sim-card

      And use the search function for '4g modem'. You can get them on ebay/gumtree for <$40 as well.

  Would have thought the above would have been an expensive way to do it?

  Could you not just get an internet connection to the house with a modem and then supply them the password to connect? This would have to be the cheapest, most reliable, easiest and most data heavy option.

    There's plenty of pre-paid start packs available for $5-$10. Sometime less.

    A proper internet connection will cost $60/month + setup costs.

    I assume you can get by, spending less than $60/month on pre-paid starter packs, but yeah, if you find yourself spending more than $60/month on the starter packs or just want less hassle, then a proper internet connection is the way to go.
