Profit
Is an Airbnb in Madibeng Local Municipality Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Madibeng Local Municipality Airbnb took in R 173,942 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 10,400 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 24,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R 6,600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R 10,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R 9,000 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 Madibeng Local Municipality's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Madibeng Local Municipality listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 1,695 adds about R 17,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 3,590 a night or more, against a median of R 1,695. 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 16,700 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 32,700, against R 16,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Madibeng Local Municipality listings average 4.67 stars, and 22% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
