    Queenstown's been the pick of the country for Australian tourists under the quarantine-free bubble


    New Airbnb data shows it was the most searched for destination by Aussies - with seven times as many searches for the tourist hotspot, compared to the month before.

    Searches by Australian guests for Airbnb listings in this country have soared by more than 400 per cent since the beginning of April.

    The next most-searched cities are Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.
