Profit
Is an Airbnb in Paekākāriki Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Paekākāriki Airbnb took in NZ$23,934 in the 12 months to December 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,460 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$2,840 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 Paekākāriki's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Paekākāriki listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NZ$165 adds about NZ$1,660 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NZ$250 a night or more, against a median of NZ$165. 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$2,390 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about NZ$4,690, against NZ$1,520 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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$3,850 a month, against NZ$1,990 for the average one.
