Profit
Is an Airbnb in Makhado Local Municipality Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Makhado Local Municipality Airbnb took in R 41,133 in the 12 months to September 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 5,080 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 Makhado Local Municipality's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Makhado Local Municipality listings are booked on 29% or more of their nights, against 14% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 850 adds about R 8,520 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,400 a night or more, against a median of R 850.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, November brings the average listing about R 9,240, against R 4,600 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Makhado Local Municipality listings average 4.85 stars, and 20% 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 6,910 a month, against R 3,430 for the average one.
