Gross bookings per Kerikeri listing averaged NZ$28,584 over the 12 months to October 2026 (New Zealand average: NZ$42,589), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Kerikeri listing brought in NZ$7,220 in December, its best month, and NZ$828 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% 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 2.8 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.

Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
December 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in February 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kerikeri Airbnb took in NZ$28,584 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,630 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$2,830 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$1,730 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$1,780 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$1,410 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.
