Profit
Is an Airbnb in Matlosana Local Municipality Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Matlosana Local Municipality Airbnb took in R 37,224 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 4,180 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.
