23rd May 2025 By Staff Reporter | news@propertyticker.co.nz | @propertyticker

Occupancy across Auckland’s hotel market appears stable but average daily rate is down compared to this time last year, according to figures from STR.

That has been RevPAR over autumn track generally below the same season last year for the country’s largest hotel market.

In comparison with the week of 12-18 May 2024, Auckland recorded for the week of 11-17 May 2025: 

• An occupancy increase of 0.8% to 61.7%
• Average daily rate (ADR) down 3.8% to $194.83
• Revenue per available room (RevPAR) down 3.1% to $120.18

Only Queenstown has bucked the slides seen in the country’s other major hotel markets, with average weekly occupancy last week up 2.4% to 58.3%, compared to the same period last year, and RevPAR rising 0.2% to $126.30.

STR collects daily accommodation data from 44% of all hotel rooms in New Zealand, including 70% of all rooms in Auckland, 67% of all rooms in Queenstown, 52% of all rooms in Christchurch, and 50% of all rooms at Wellington hotels.
