Gross bookings per Feilding listing averaged NZ$20,419 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Manawatū-Whanganui average: NZ$24,200), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Feilding listing brings in NZ$2,590 in March, its best month, and NZ$1,660 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 29% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Feilding listing earns about NZ$1,550 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb revenue calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Feilding Airbnb took in NZ$20,419 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,180 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about NZ$2,300 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$980 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$1,260 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$1,010 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.
