Latest figures from the Tourism Satellite Account show overseas visitor arrivals to New Zealand increased by 333.5 per cent.
Co-owner of Aston Road Villa Louise Compton says it's been a booming year for them.
Their small bed and breakfast in Waikanae on the Kāpiti Coast recently received a Gold Sustainable Tourism Business Award with a 4 Star Plus rating.
This means it's a "best-in-class sustainable tourism business, providing exceptional customer experience".
