Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Ohakune?

Gross bookings per Ohakune listing averaged NZ$24,092 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 Ohakune listing brings in NZ$4,660 in August, its best month, and NZ$1,970 in May, its slowest. July runs within 3% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn NZ$6,150+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn NZ$3,980 or more, roughly NZ$1,700 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about NZ$2,290 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn NZ$1,120 or less, about half 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.

Ohakune Airbnb Data by Month

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Ohakune Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ohakune Airbnb took in NZ$24,092 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,300 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$2,270 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$2,530 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$1,510 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$1,120 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 Ohakune's Top Earners Get There

More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ohakune listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NZ$300 adds about NZ$3,010 in bookings.
Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NZ$420 a night or more, against a median of NZ$300. 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$2,160 a year.
Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about NZ$4,660, against NZ$1,970 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
Reviews that stand out. Ohakune listings average 4.79 stars, and 44% 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$3,480 a month, against NZ$2,010 for the average one.
