The Auckland Airbnb Market

‍

Auckland’s Airbnb market is thriving, supported by strong domestic tourism and a steadily increasing international travel demand. As New Zealand's largest city, Auckland is a gateway for tourists looking to explore the country's natural wonders. Properties close to attractions like Auckland Harbour, Rangitoto Island, and Mount Eden attract consistent bookings year-round. On average, an Auckland Airbnb property sees a 72% occupancy rate, with nightly rates around NZD 190-220, depending on location and property size.

‍

Popular suburbs like Ponsonby, Parnell, and Devonport, which offer easy access to both the city centre and scenic waterfront areas, are hotspots for Airbnb listings. Guests often seek larger, family-friendly properties or unique, boutique-style homes with strong reviews.

‍

While there is consistent demand, competition is rising, with over 6,500 active Airbnb listings in the Auckland area. To maximise bookings and revenue, hosts need to optimise their listings and ensure a high standard of service to stay competitive.
