Revenue
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.
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
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.

Nightly rates
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.

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.
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.

Permits
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.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Randburg Airbnb grossed R 110,716 in the 12 months to September 2026, 23% 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.
