Gross bookings per National Park listing averaged NZ$26,324 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 National Park listing brings in NZ$4,220 in July, its best month, and NZ$2,090 in May, its slowest. April runs within 3% of May, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 2.6 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average National Park Airbnb took in NZ$26,324 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,430 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$2,240 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$2,360 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$1,630 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$1,230 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.
