The commission is based on the property type and location
We list your Auckland property across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and all major booking platforms, with calendars and pricing synced in real time from one central dashboard. Multi-platform distribution is standard across every Houst property, increasing your exposure to the domestic travellers, Australian visitors and international tourists who search for Auckland accommodation year-round. Our dynamic pricing model adjusts nightly rates daily against live demand signals, event calendars and competitor rates, so your property captures peak-season returns during the December to March summer and maintains healthy occupancy through the April to November shoulder period. Owners track every booking, review and payout in real time through the Houst owner app.
Auckland short-lets average NZ$280 per night at 75% occupancy, equating to around NZ$76,800 in annual gross revenue for a well-run two-bed. Demand splits between business travel, domestic tourism and international visitors. Peak season runs December to March, with February typically the strongest month. During peak summer weekends, nightly rates regularly exceed NZ$350.
New Zealand's largest city and primary international gateway, Auckland sits between the Waitemata and Manukau harbours with the Viaduct Harbour, Sky Tower and the premium lifestyle suburbs of Ponsonby and Parnell at its core. International visitors from Australia, the UK, the United States and Asia arrive year-round through Auckland International Airport. Domestic travellers from Wellington, Christchurch and regional centres drive solid shoulder-season occupancy from April through November.
The Auckland Anniversary long weekend in late January is the city's biggest domestic demand spike of the year. Corporate demand from the CBD is consistent year-round, particularly in Newmarket and the central suburbs. Devonport, connected by Fullers ferry in 12 minutes from the downtown waterfront, attracts leisure guests seeking a quieter harbour-side experience, with longer average stays and strong summer weekend rates.
