Custom Map Prints for NZ Airbnbs: Make Your Rental Unforgettable
Map Prints for Airbnb Hosts: A Unique Way to Stand Out
If you're an Airbnb host in New Zealand, you already know how important it is to create a memorable and welcoming space. One of the most effective—and overlooked—ways to leave a lasting impression on your guests is through your interior decor. And what better way to capture the spirit of Aotearoa than with a giant custom map print?
At CustomMaps.co.nz, we create beautiful, high-resolution wall maps of New Zealand and beyond—tailored to your location, your story, and your style.
Why Map Prints Work So Well in Airbnb Spaces
- They Inspire a Sense of Place. Whether your Airbnb is a beachside bach in the Coromandel or a mountain retreat in Wanaka, a large wall map immediately orients guests and helps them feel connected to the area. It says: you are here, and it matters.
- They’re Functional Conversation Starters. Guests love to point out where they've been, plan their next leg, or learn more about the region. A custom map of your local area—or even just the South Island or North Island—can become a practical and interactive centerpiece in your home.
- They Add Style Without the Noise. Many Airbnb listings suffer from either bland, generic art—or overly busy decoration. A thoughtfully designed map brings sophistication, character, and local relevance without clashing with your overall design.
Creative Map Ideas for Airbnb Hosts
- Pin Maps – Invite guests to mark where they're from.
- Local Highlights Maps – Include trails, vineyards, beaches, or cultural landmarks nearby.
- Historical Maps – Create a vintage-style map for that heritage villa or country cottage.
- Minimalist Line Maps – Keep it clean and modern with a black-and-white contour map of your region.
