Despite new cases of COVID appearing locally, Australians are flocking to book accommodation in New Zealand - before a quarantine free trans-Tasman bubble is confirmed next week.
New data shows the pending bubble announcement has seen Australian bookings of holiday homes jump 117% in New Zealand over the past month.
Surprisingly, bookings around ski areas are lower than expected with Australian’s opting for New Zealand beaches and locations better known for their vineyards and cuisine.
The top 10 locations for Australians booking in New Zealand are Raglan, Tauranga, Waiheke, Marlborough, Mount Maunganui, Marlborough Sounds, Martinborough, Akaroa, Whangamata and Hanmer.
