A City on the Rise for Short-Term Rentals
Christchurch has reinvented itself as a vibrant urban hub with a strong tourism comeback and a growing events calendar. From international sports to cultural festivals and business travel, the city now attracts a wide mix of guests looking for flexible, well-located accommodation.
Short-term rentals are thriving in popular suburbs like Merivale, Addington, Riccarton and Sumner. Guests often prefer the comfort of a home over a hotel, especially for longer stays or group travel. That means more opportunity for property owners to earn strong returns throughout the year.
With our local knowledge and hands-on support, we make it easy to turn your Christchurch property into a high-performing short-term rental. From listing setup to dynamic pricing and 24/7 guest care, we’ve got it covered.

What Our Clients Say
A. Harris
We’d rented our Christchurch home long-term for ages but always felt it could be doing more.
After a chat with Iliya, we decided to switch to short-term rental and give it a go. His team sorted everything for us, from setting up the listing to arranging cleaning and guest support. Within the first few weeks, bookings were already coming in. The income has definitely improved, and we’ve been especially busy during school holidays and major events. The whole process has been simple and hands-off. Iliya’s advice on the local market was spot on.
P. Storm
“The returns are stronger, and I barely have to lift a finger.”
I used to lease out my Christchurch investment property long-term, but the yield just didn’t stack up. A friend recommended Aotearoa Escapes, and I ended up working with Hannah and her team. Since shifting to short-term, my income has gone up noticeably, and I haven’t had to manage a single guest myself. They handle all the bookings, cleaning, maintenance, and communication. The property looks better than ever, and I’ve had multiple five-star reviews from guests. Definitely a smarter way to manage it.
