Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in National Park?

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.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn NZ$5,630+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn NZ$3,790 or more, roughly NZ$1,300 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about NZ$2,450 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn NZ$1,410 or less, about 58% of the median.

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.

July earns about twice what May does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in National Park Profitable?

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.

How National Park's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of National Park listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NZ$260 adds about NZ$2,590 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NZ$350 a night or more, against a median of NZ$260. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about NZ$2,400 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about NZ$4,220, against NZ$2,090 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. National Park listings average 4.72 stars, and 34% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about NZ$3,400 a month, against NZ$2,190 for the average one.
