The commission is based on the property type and location
We multi-list on Airbnb, Booking.com and Stayz/VRBO, synced calendars and data-led pricing to maximise occupancy and ADR from one owner dashboard.
Current NZ benchmarks are based on Auckland data: around NZ$214.71 ADR, 64% occupancy and ~NZ$50,156 annual gross for a well-run 1–3 bed. Results vary by property type, location and season.
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.

Before you list, check council and building rules—requirements vary across New Zealand by location and property type.
• Planning/permissions: Confirm local council rules (e.g., zone-specific limits/consents) and any Body Corporate/Residents’ Association by-laws for apartments or townhouses.
• Safety/building: Install compliant smoke alarms, provide evacuation info and maintain electrical/gas checks where applicable; keep maintenance records in line with Building Code obligations.
• Tax/records: Declare income to Inland Revenue (IRD) and keep invoices/guest logs; review GST/ABN-style registration needs if operating at scale.
