We are very proud of the design appeal of this boutique development.
With white Hebel power panel and Schist cladding, complemented
by Ebony coloured roof, joinery, fascia, guttering, downpipes and

Airbnb Appraisal
Based on our analytics of other short-term rental accommodation in your area, we estimate
the seasonal rental income shown in the tables below for the two bedroom apartments:
Summer Winter
Daily Income Weekly Income Daily Income Weekly Income
Occupancy Occupancy
60% 80% 40% 60%
130 546 728 90 252 387
250 1050 1400 130 364 546
We would list Units at 216 Worcester Street, for between $130 and $250 per night during the
busy seasons and when special events are on in Christchurch up to $400 per night. We
would then expect to get around $90 to $130 per night during the off seasons. Occupancy
rates in this area typically fluctuate between 80% and 40% during summer and winter,
respectively.
As mentioned above, we would love to have you as a Hosted Homeowner to help you
