Profit
Is an Airbnb in Outer West Durban Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Outer West Durban Airbnb took in R 49,654 in the 12 months to October 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about R 5,480 a month after running costs.
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 Outer West Durban's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Outer West Durban listings are booked on 31% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 925 adds about R 9,270 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,165 a night or more, against a median of R 925. 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 4,840 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 12,800, against R 5,920 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Outer West Durban listings average 4.85 stars, and 29% 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 7,400 a month, against R 4,140 for the average one.
