Profit
Is an Airbnb in Marloth Park Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Marloth Park Airbnb took in R 219,730 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 13,300 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about R 24,800 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R 8,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R 14,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R 11,600 a month.
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 Marloth Park's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Marloth Park listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 2,265 adds about R 22,600 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 3,085 a night or more, against a median of R 2,265. 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 21,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about R 43,600, against R 13,900 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Marloth Park listings average 4.77 stars, and 30% 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 33,700 a month, against R 18,300 for the average one.
