Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Roodepoort?
Gross bookings per Roodepoort listing averaged R 59,876 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 Roodepoort listing brings in R 11,500 in December, its best month, and R 6,970 in January, its slowest. February runs within 1% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 18,600+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 11,900 or more, roughly R 5,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about R 6,440 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 2,830 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Roodepoort Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Roodepoort Airbnb took in R 59,876 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 110,880, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 6,800 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 Roodepoort's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Roodepoort listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 755 adds about R 7,550 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,005 a night or more, against a median of R 755. 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 5,780 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 11,500, against R 6,970 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Roodepoort listings average 4.72 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 9,240 a month, against R 4,990 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Roodepoort?
