Otago
Scenic Beauty and Diverse Visitor Appeal

Otago is a region rich in natural beauty, from the vibrant city of Dunedin to stunning lakes, coastlines, and mountain landscapes. Visitors travel here for outdoor adventures, wildlife experiences, heritage sites, and the thriving arts and food scene. This steady tourism demand creates strong year-round opportunities for short-term rentals across the region.

Properties close to Dunedin city, popular coastal areas, and major attractions tend to perform especially well, attracting a mix of holidaymakers, business travelers, and visiting families. Many guests choose Airbnb-style accommodation for the extra space, comfort, and local character it provides.

Short-Term Property Management Aotearoa Escapes in Otago

What Our Clients Say

K. McMillan

We had been renting out our property in Otago to long term tenants, but the returns weren’t where we wanted them to be. After connecting with Iliya, we made the move into Airbnb rental. His team handled the full transition, including listing creation, cleaning schedules, guest support and pricing. Since then, the bookings have been consistent and our income has definitely improved. We’re no longer tied to the usual responsibilities and the process has been easy from the start.

M. O’Leary

Our Otago home was sitting with a long term lease for years and felt underused, especially with the demand in this area. Aotearoa Escapes helped us convert it to an Airbnb rental, and the results have been excellent. Hannah’s team took care of everything and we’ve had solid bookings ever since. The income is now much higher, particularly during holiday seasons and long weekends. We barely need to check in at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

#1

How much rental income can I expect from my property as an Airbnb rental?

The income your property can generate as a short-term rental depends on factors like location, property size, amenities, and the time of year. Properties near tourist attractions or business centers tend to earn more. With the right pricing strategy and professional management, many owners see significantly higher returns compared to long-term leases.

#2

What services are included in Airbnb rental property management?

Short-term rental management typically includes everything needed to run your property successfully. This often covers:

Listing setup and optimisation on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com
Professional photography and staging
Guest communication and support
Dynamic pricing and revenue management
Cleaning, laundry, and property maintenance
Regulatory compliance and reporting

These services are designed to maximize occupancy and reduce stress for property owners.

#3

Is short-term rental property management worth the investment?

Our team is available 24/7 to manage guest inquiries, bookings, and support, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience for both guests and property owners. Yes, for many property owners, hiring a short-term rental management company increases both revenue and peace of mind. Professional managers use tools and expertise to improve occupancy rates, boost reviews, and handle all the day-to-day logistics. Even after management fees, most owners find they earn more and save time compared to self-managing.

#4

How do short-term rental managers handle guest screening and property security?

Top rental managers use strict guest screening practices, including identity verification, reviews analysis, and booking restrictions. Properties are also secured with tools like smart locks, security cameras at entry points, and regular inspections. These steps help minimize risks and ensure respectful, rule-abiding guests.

#5

What are the legal requirements for running an Airbnb rental?

Operating a short-term rental typically requires you to meet local council regulations, which may include:

Registering your property with local authorities
Meeting fire and health safety standards
Complying with zoning rules
Collecting and remitting tourism or accommodation taxes

Aotearoa Escapes will guide you through zoning requirements and council regulations, checking local bylaws to ensure your property is fully compliant if these apply in your area

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aotearoa Airbnb Management has been fantastic with my Queenstown property. Iliya and his team handle everything including guest communication, cleaning, bookings and maintenance. The results speak for themselves and their local expertise makes all the difference. Highly recommend their Airbnb management service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We weren’t sure what to do with our house in Hastings when the last tenant moved out.
Then someone mentioned aotearoa escapes on Facebook. The team was fast. Like, really
fast. They took over the whole thing, suggested smart tweaks to the bedrooms and lounge,
and listed it within a week. We just wait for the email every month with all the numbers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We moved to Australia and still owned a house in Papamoa. It had always been leased out
but we wanted something easier. Iliya and his team handled everything remotely. They
worked with our keyholder, brought in a cleaning team, and included all the coastal attractions in the listing. Now we just get paid monthly and stay out of it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having Iliya manage my property into short-term was the best decision. My property in Auckland is performing so much better now that it’s in good hands. Highly recommend them. They handle guest booking, all communication, cleaning, maintenance and much more.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend told us about Aotearoa Escapes after their success in turning a long-term lease into a short-term rental in Queenstown. We had a similar setup in Rotorua. The team was sharp, helped install a digital lock, and worked out a solid cleaning schedule. We don’t hear from guests or deal with anything, and the monthly reports are clear and useful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of having Iliya and Hannah come help me stage my property for short term letting. After having tenants for a number of years, Aotearoa Escapes gave me an insight into what short term could bring. Using them as a trusted property management company I couldn’t be happier. If you’re considering going into the short term market just give them a call and you won’t go back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had a house in Invercargill that was always leased out, but after the last tenant left, we gave short term a try. Iliya and the team handled everything. They got professional photos, gave us feedback on small improvements, and included the Bluff lookout in the listing. Honestly, the whole process felt very hands-off and well-managed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After nearly 8 years of leasing our property in Tauranga, we weren’t sure how to step into short term rentals. Aotearoa Escapes handled every step from cleaning and staging to creating a compelling listing that highlighted nearby beaches and cafés. They send a detailed monthly report, so we always know how things are tracking. It’s been way smoother than expected.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before working with Aotearoa Escapes, my rental property in Taupō was barely breaking even. I was constantly chasing tenants for rent, and the maintenance costs were adding up. Iliya walked me through the short-term rental process, and within weeks, my property was generating more income than ever. The best part is that I don’t have to do anything—Aotearoa Escapes handles the bookings, guest communication, and cleaning. I finally feel like my property is working for me, instead of the other way around.
