Create a dynamic listing of your accommodation, business or nearby tourist attraction here. Please ensure your listings are as complete as possible before submission, as they are checked and will be rejected if incomplete. Use the Listing Help (located below the form on mobile devices) to assist. More help can be found in our Help Centre.
Scroll down below the listing form for help.
Please choose the correct type for your listing. For attractions that are both paid and free to visitors (such as an optional entry fee), and recurring events such as markets, choose “Free”.
You can choose more than one category if it makes sense to do so. The first one listed becomes the “Default” which determines the map icon. There is no benefit in choosing unrelated categories.
Add the contact details that you want visitors to use to contact you. These are displayed on business and accommodation listings only.
Add the site where you want visitors to go to make bookings, etc, with the format https://name.co.nz. Once we’ve verified it, this cannot be changed.
Where possible, use a descriptive title that includes a benefit, such as “BnB with lake views”. Taglines are single sentence enticements, like a slogan, that adds to the title.
You can describe your accommodation or business with up to 300 words for Business and Free Attraction listings and 50 words for Business Lite listings. You can’t copy someone else’s work but you can use Chatgpt or other AI products to make it interesting and engaging. Use subtitles, line-breaks, and other editing tools to make your listing easy to read.
Type the address and select it from the dropdown. Alternatively, drag the marker on the map. Use the map zoom to show the location in a meaningful way. The zoom you choose is what visitors see.
Double-check the correct location is shown in the address bar.
By default, listings are shown on the map but the street address is not shown. If you want to show the address of your business, tick the box “Show street address”.
For natural features, only the approximate location is shown to visitors.
You can add up to 9 images in Business and Free Attraction listings by choosing them from a file (click “Select”), or dragging them into the image uploading area. Drag them to rearrange the order. The first image is used as the main image.
For best Search Engine Optimization (SEO), rename the files with a sensible name before uploading them. For example, rename the photo of your BnB’s kitchen as “yourbnbname-kitchen.jpeg”.
For best display results, choose landscape photos with large file sizes and .JPG or .jpeg file types. Web browsers can’t read iPhone image files so save them as .jpeg or .JPG before being uploading them.
If you have a business listing, share your opening hours here (click “Yes” to start. You can update them anytime. The timezone is set for all of New Zealand automatically and doesn’t need to be changed.
These are optional and displayed on Business listings.
