How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kingsburgh?
Gross bookings per Kingsburgh listing averaged R 77,755 over the 12 months to September 2026 (KwaZulu-Natal average: R 169,945), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kingsburgh listing brings in R 20,100 in December, its best month, and R 7,140 in February, its slowest. May runs within 5% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 21,500+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.

- Typical properties (median) earn about R 8,410 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 4,560 or less, about 54% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kingsburgh Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kingsburgh Airbnb took in R 77,755 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 131,990, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 7,850 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 Kingsburgh's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kingsburgh listings are booked on 39% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 1,075 adds about R 10,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,435 a night or more, against a median of R 1,075. 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 7,240 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 20,100, against R 7,140 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kingsburgh listings average 4.67 stars, and 19% 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 11,000 a month, against R 6,480 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Kingsburgh?
The average booked night in Kingsburgh cost R 1,393 before fees. Half of listings charge between R 860 and R 1,435, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Kingsburgh?

Is Airbnb profitable in Kingsburgh?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kingsburgh Airbnb grossed R 77,755 in the 12 months to September 2026, 54% below the KwaZulu-Natal average of R 169,945, 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 7,850 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
