As New Zealand’s largest city and a major gateway for both international and domestic travel, Auckland is a vibrant, high-demand destination for short-term rentals. With its iconic skyline, harbourside lifestyle, and world-class food and wine scene, Auckland attracts business travellers, holidaymakers, and weekenders year-round. Demand extends well beyond the CBD, with popular coastal and lifestyle areas such as the North Shore, Hibiscus Coast, West Auckland, Franklin, Matakana, and Omaha appealing to guests seeking space, scenery, and easy access to beaches and regional escapes. Just a short ferry ride away, Waiheke Island adds further appeal with boutique wineries, golden beaches, and premium island stays.
From the energy of Auckland’s CBD to established suburbs across the North Shore and West Auckland, the region offers diverse opportunities for holiday home ownership. Coastal destinations like Omaha and the Hibiscus Coast continue to attract families and longer-stay guests, while Matakana remains popular for its markets, vineyards, and relaxed village atmosphere. Waiheke Island continues to perform strongly as a premium short-term rental market, with guests seeking romantic getaways, family retreats, and vineyard stays with stunning coastal views.
With strong occupancy rates, consistent visitor demand, and a mix of short- and long-stay potential, Auckland — including Waiheke Island and its surrounding regions — remains a smart choice for property owners looking to maximise returns in a competitive but rewarding short-term rental market.
