On the international day that celebrates love, it seems the world is falling for New Zealand.

Five of the 10 most popular destinations being booked on accommodation website AirBnB are in New Zealand.

Christchurch beat out Los Angeles to top the list of ten, while other Kiwi locations on the list included Queenstown, Auckland, Twizel and the West Coast.

Airbnb's NZ manager, Sam McDonagh, says he's not surprised by the continuing popularity of New Zealand.

"Whether it's the spectacular scenery, encounters with nature or the adrenaline sports on offer, there's no shortage of things for couples to get up to that get their hearts racing," McDonagh said.
