Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ōakura Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ōakura Airbnb took in NZ$15,719 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$890 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$2,190 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$1,190 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$990 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$770 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 Ōakura's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ōakura listings are booked on 30% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NZ$290 adds about NZ$2,890 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NZ$375 a night or more, against a median of NZ$290. 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$1,450 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about NZ$4,780, against NZ$1,020 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ōakura listings average 4.73 stars, and 22% 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$3,170 a month, against NZ$1,310 for the average one.
