Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pōhara Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pōhara Airbnb took in NZ$28,125 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,540 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$2,680 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$2,400 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$1,740 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$1,320 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 Pōhara's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pōhara listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NZ$300 adds about NZ$2,980 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NZ$410 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$2,570 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about NZ$7,930, against NZ$1,880 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pōhara listings average 4.83 stars, and 52% 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$4,050 a month, against NZ$2,340 for the average one.
