How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Irene?
Gross bookings per Irene listing averaged R 117,947 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Gauteng average: R 90,198), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Irene listing brings in R 16,000 in July, its best month, and R 10,900 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 30,200+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 18,300 or more, roughly R 8,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about R 10,200 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 5,070 or less, about half 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.

Irene Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in March 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Irene Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Irene Airbnb took in R 117,947 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about R 211,100, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 12,900 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Irene's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Irene listings are booked on 66% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 790 adds about R 7,880 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,195 a night or more, against a median of R 790. 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 11,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about R 16,000, against R 10,900 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Irene listings average 4.83 stars, and 64% 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 17,600 a month, against R 9,800 for the average one.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Irene?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Irene?
The average booked night in Irene cost R 1,095 before fees. Half of listings charge between R 575 and R 1,195, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Irene?
None of the active Irene 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 Irene?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Irene Airbnb grossed R 117,947 in the 12 months to September 2026, 31% above the Gauteng average of R 90,198, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about R 12,900 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
