Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Randburg?

Gross bookings per Randburg listing averaged R 110,716 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 Randburg listing brings in R 17,800 in December, its best month, and R 11,500 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 29,200+ a month, about 3.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 15,900 or more, roughly R 7,700 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about R 8,210 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 3,640 or less, about 44% 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.

December earns about 1.5 times what May does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Randburg Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Randburg Airbnb took in R 110,716 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 214,500, 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 Randburg's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Randburg listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 770 adds about R 7,680 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,155 a night or more, against a median of R 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 10,600 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 17,800, against R 11,500 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Randburg listings average 4.73 stars, and 32% 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 17,900 a month, against R 9,200 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Randburg?

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.3 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 54% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 31% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 15% or less, under two nights a week.

The 12-month rate of 34% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Randburg?

The average nightly rate in Randburg, known as ADR (average daily rate), was R 1,194 over the past year, about the same as the Gauteng average (R 1,205) and about 51% below the South Africa average of R 2,425. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about R 1,160 and bottom out in September and October at about R 995.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge R 1,975+ a night, about 2.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge R 1,155 or more, about R 390 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about R 770 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge R 575 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

August rates run 16% above September's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, R 1,080. The 12-month ADR of R 1,194 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Randburg?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Randburg it averaged R 414 over the past year, from about R 371 in a typical May to about R 574 in a typical December.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 792+ per open night, about three times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 436 or more, about R 180 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about R 260 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 144 or less, about 55% of the median.

December RevPAR is about 1.5 times May's

Revenue per open night (RevPAR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Randburg

None of the 763 active listings in Randburg display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Randburg.
