Beyond the City of Sails

Auckland's Must-Visit Islands & Your Airbnb Goldmine

Auckland, New Zealand's vibrant city of sails, is known for its stunning harbor, bustling metropolis, and world-class wineries.

From Waiheke's vineyards and beaches to Great Barrier's rugged wilderness, these islands offer unforgettable experiences for travelers seeking something beyond the city bustle.


If you're a property owner in or near these idyllic havens, you're sitting on a potential goldmine. Airbnb and other booking platforms provide a unique opportunity to share your slice of paradise with the world and generate substantial income. Let's explore these stunning islands and how Manatili's expert Airbnb management services can help you turn your property into a thriving business.

Auckland's Island Gems:

  • Waiheke Island: Known for its world-class vineyards, olive groves, and beautiful beaches, Waiheke is a haven for foodies, wine enthusiasts, and nature lovers. Properties here often command premium rates, especially during peak season and special events like the annual Wine Festival.

  • Kawau Island: This historic island boasts stunning mansions, tranquil bays, and abundant wildlife. It's a popular destination for boating, fishing, and exploring the island's rich history. Properties here offer a unique blend of luxury and seclusion.

  • Motuihe Island: A tranquil haven for nature lovers, Motuihe Island is home to stunning beaches, walking trails, and native birdlife. If your property offers peace and tranquility, Motuihe's eco-conscious visitors are your ideal guests.
  • Rangitoto Island: This volcanic island is a hiker's paradise, with trails leading to the summit for panoramic views of Auckland. Properties with easy access to the ferry and stunning views can attract adventure-seeking guests.

  • Great Barrier Island: This rugged and remote island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking, surfing, fishing, and stargazing opportunities. Properties here can command premium rates due to the island's unique appeal and limited accommodation options.

  • Tiritiri Matangi Island: A wildlife sanctuary and open sanctuary, Tiritiri Matangi is a birdwatcher's dream, home to rare and endangered species. Properties near the ferry terminal or with eco-friendly features will appeal to this niche market.
