Gisborne: Sunshine, Surf and Strong Returns
Gisborne is known for its laid-back vibe, sunny climate and uncrowded surf beaches. It’s a favourite for families, road trippers and event-goers, especially during summer and surf competitions. With limited hotel options, well-managed Airbnb rentals are in high demand.
Properties close to the beach, city centre or local vineyards often see strong occupancy and above-average nightly rates. Visitors love the personal touch and flexibility of holiday homes that feel like a true local stay.

What Our Clients Say
A. Davidson
We had been renting out our Gisborne property to long-term tenants for a while, but it wasn’t really delivering the kind of return we hoped for. After reaching out to Iliya, we decided to switch over to short-term letting. The Aotearoa Escapes team handled everything, including photos, listing setup, guest support, and cleaning. Within the first month, we had a steady stream of bookings. The income has definitely improved, especially around public holidays and summer weekends. It’s been completely hands-off and so much more rewarding than the long-term setup ever was.
P. Mar
I used to lease out my Gisborne home on a long-term basis, but it felt underutilized considering the location. After speaking with Hannah, I decided to give short-term a go. They took care of the entire transition and now manage everything from guest communication to local maintenance. The listing looks fantastic and stays well booked, particularly during surf comps and events. I’ve received several glowing guest reviews and the monthly income has been consistently higher than before. I’m really happy I made the change and wish I’d done it sooner.
