Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Steve Tshwete Local Municipality Airbnb took in R 54,672 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 5,980 a month after running costs.
