The commission is based on the property type and location
We list your Auckland property across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google, then optimise each listing and sync calendars so you capture demand across every channel. Auckland attracts strong international visitor numbers from Australia, the US and Asia alongside domestic New Zealand travellers, with demand peaking around major events at Eden Park, New Year's Eve on the Harbour and the summer holiday season.
A two-bedroom short-term rental in central Auckland earns around NZ$194 a night at about 70% occupancy, which works out near NZ$49,600 a year before costs. Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and its primary gateway for international visitors, combining harbour views, a dynamic food and arts scene and strong business demand. A professionally managed listing consistently outperforms self-managed properties through dynamic pricing, faster guest response and the review volume that improves visibility on Airbnb and Booking.com.
Demand peaks over the New Zealand summer from December through February, when Auckland draws its highest international visitor numbers alongside strong domestic holiday traffic. New Year's Eve on the Waitemata Harbour is one of the most popular short-term rental periods in the city. Test matches and major events at Eden Park, concerts at Spark Arena and international conferences sustain demand through the autumn and spring shoulder months.
Auckland's strong economy in financial services, technology and professional services provides a reliable mid-week demand base year-round. The inner suburbs of Parnell, Ponsonby and Mount Eden attract a mix of leisure guests and business travellers, while Devonport on the North Shore draws visitors looking for a quieter setting with harbour views and ferry access to the city. That spread means Auckland properties rarely depend on a single type of guest.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.
For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.
The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.
The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.

Houst works on a single commission, starting from 14% for full-time management and from 20% for part-time, set according to your property and its location. There are no setup fees and no monthly charges. You only pay when we secure a booking, so our earnings are tied directly to yours. That rate covers the full service: dynamic pricing, professional photography, listings across multiple platforms, guest vetting and communication, check-ins, cleaning and turnover coordination, and a dashboard that shows your earnings in real time. No hidden extras, no surprise line items, just one transparent percentage on the revenue we generate. For owners weighing up management against going it alone, or running more than one property, that structure keeps the maths straightforward: you can see your likely net return after our fee before committing a dollar.

Short-term rentals in Auckland are regulated under the Auckland Unitary Plan and New Zealand's Resource Management Act framework. Whether your property requires resource consent depends on the zone, frequency of letting and duration of stays, so it is worth confirming your property's status with Auckland Council before listing. Properties in apartment buildings should check their body corporate rules, which commonly restrict short-term rental use. Rental income is taxable under New Zealand income tax rules and must be declared to Inland Revenue. If annual rental income exceeds NZ$60,000, GST registration may also be required. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the full detail in our guide to Auckland's Airbnb and visitor accommodation rules.
We manage short-term rentals across Auckland and its most popular inner suburbs. Parnell, the city's oldest suburb, draws heritage and cultural visitors alongside upmarket leisure guests and business travellers. Ponsonby's restaurant and bar scene attracts a mix of city breakers and longer-stay professionals, while Mount Eden offers a quieter residential setting with excellent access to the city centre. Newmarket suits business guests and visitors, and Devonport across the Harbour provides a distinctly different Auckland experience with its heritage village feel, beaches and North Shore views. We also manage in Parnell, Ponsonby, Mount Eden, Newmarket and Devonport. Houst also covers Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Whether you manage a Parnell villa, a Ponsonby apartment, or a waterfront property in Devonport, Houst adapts pricing and listing strategy to your property type and location. Our Auckland team understands local demand patterns and manages your property to perform across the full year.
