Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Rosebank?
Gross bookings per Rosebank listing averaged R 133,214 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 Rosebank listing brings in R 20,100 in December, its best month, and R 14,700 in February, its slowest. June runs within 4% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 36% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 36,100+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R 21,500 or more, roughly R 9,800 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about R 11,700 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 5,760 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.

Rosebank 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 December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Rosebank Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Rosebank Airbnb took in R 133,214 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 245,400, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 14,600 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 Rosebank's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Rosebank listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 1,085 adds about R 10,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,535 a night or more, against a median of R 1,085. 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 12,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 20,100, against R 14,700 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Rosebank listings average 4.75 stars, and 33% 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 20,500 a month, against R 11,100 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Rosebank?

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 14,600 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
