Welcome to the New Way to Invest
Purchasing a central apartment and listing it online as an Airbnb is quickly becoming a go-to option for Auckland investors. The rental returns are generally about 30-40% higher after all operating costs, if the apartment is of a high quality and centrally located in the CBD. Tourist season begins from November and carries on all the way through the end of April in Auckland; this is when the nightly rates are the highest. During the winter months, the main target market is business travellers coming to the city - that is why CBD apartments do well all year-round and not just in high season.

On the Horizon
The tourism market is booming. Worth over $30 billion nationwide, and growing at a rate of 10% per year, now is the time to get in as all of those tourists are going to need somewhere to sleep. Hotels are at a stretch in Auckland already, and new ones are being built to cope with the increasing demand. However, even with the planned new hotel builds, there will still be a predicted shortage of 1,800 rooms by 2025. The average price per night for a hotel room in Auckland is currently $165 per night and this is predicted to reach $220 per night by 2020, meaning profits will only increase. Auckland Airport is the port of entry for 71% of all international arrivals, and this will remain the main port of entry to New Zealand for the foreseeable future. In fact, Auckland Airport is planned to double in size by 2040 in order to cope with the predicted 40 million passengers and 260,000 flights visiting our shores by then. The America’s Cup is coming to Auckland in 2021 and this will bring a massive increase in both international and domestic tourism during the event. There are many contractors working on preparing for the event already as well, and they too need accommodation whilst they are here.
