We also have a department looking after airbnb properties. We have the ability to switch from long term rental to airbnb swiftly. This strategy is extremely effective during the summer period (or Covid-18) when “normal” renters are going away and travellers are coming into Auckland.
Even while the NZ boarder is closed, we still get a lot of people coming into Auckland from around NZ.
Limited airbnb rental doesn’t affect the rates payments.
