The Destiny Church leader has been in Mount Eden Prison for 10 days after being arrested for breaching bail conditions by speaking at an anti-vaccine rally.
He was back in court this morning to appeal a judge's decision to remand him in prison.
This evening, High Court judge Paul Davison has ruled that decision was wrong.
He has granted Tamaki bail but with a further condition of a 24-hour curfew requiring him to remain at his home.
The judge has also banned him from having any gathering at his home to encourage people not to comply with Covid-19 regulations.
Tamaki is due back in court tomorrow to face charges of breaching Covid lockdown restrictions.
