The commission is based on the property type and location
We list your Auckland CBD apartment on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google, then optimise each listing and sync calendars so you capture demand across every channel. The CBD's mix of business travellers, event crowds, cruise passengers and city-break guests means bookings come from several platforms year-round.
A two-bedroom short-term rental in Auckland CBD earns around NZ$241 a night at about 72% occupancy, which works out near NZ$63,500 a year before costs. The CBD runs from the waterfront and Britomart up to Queen Street and the Sky Tower, with the Viaduct and Wynyard Quarter on its western edge. Waterfront apartments around the Viaduct earn well above the average, while apartments further up Queen Street hold occupancy with work and event stays.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.
For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.
The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.
The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.
I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Short-term rentals in Auckland CBD are regulated under the Auckland Unitary Plan and New Zealand's Resource Management Act framework. Whether your property requires resource consent depends on the zone, frequency of letting and duration of stays, so it is worth confirming your property's status with Auckland Council before listing. Owners in apartment buildings should check their body corporate rules, which commonly restrict short-term rental use. Rental income is taxable under New Zealand income tax rules and must be declared to Inland Revenue. Our team manages compliance as part of the service, and you can read the full detail in our guide to Auckland's Airbnb and visitor accommodation rules.
Houst manages short-term rentals across Auckland CBD, from the Viaduct and Wynyard Quarter to Britomart, Queen Street and the streets around the Aotea Centre. Weekday business stays, concerts and sports events, and summer cruise season keep demand steady through the year.
