How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Seaview?
Gross bookings per Seaview listing averaged R 267,686 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Eastern Cape average: R 121,368), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Seaview listing brings in R 52,600 in December, its best month, and R 19,700 in September, its slowest. May runs within 1% of September, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 5.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 66,400+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 40,100 or more, roughly R 21,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about R 18,900 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 7,010 or less, about a third of the median.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Seaview Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Seaview Airbnb took in R 267,686 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 15,900 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about R 34,200 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R 13,700 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R 17,100 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R 13,800 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Seaview's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Seaview listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 1,770 adds about R 17,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 2,885 a night or more, against a median of R 1,770. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about R 25,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 52,600, against R 19,700 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Seaview listings average 4.81 stars, and 35% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about R 47,400 a month, against R 22,300 for the average one.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Seaview?
Listings in Seaview were booked on 35% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 29% for the Eastern Cape average. December is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Seaview?
The average booked night in Seaview cost R 2,230 before fees. Half of listings charge between R 1,065 and R 2,885, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Seaview?
None of the active Seaview listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Seaview?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Seaview Airbnb grossed R 267,686 in the 12 months to September 2026, at about 2.2 times the Eastern Cape average of R 121,368. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, R 190,986 a year (about R 15,900 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about R 34,200 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
