Revenue
Gross bookings per Fiordland Community listing averaged NZ$49,875 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Southland average: NZ$39,359), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Fiordland Community listing brings in NZ$7,290 in January, its best month, and NZ$3,070 in June, its slowest. September runs within 1% of June, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 2.5 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.
January earns about 2.4 times what June does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Fiordland Community Airbnb took in NZ$49,875 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$2,770 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$4,180 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$3,840 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$3,090 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$2,390 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.
