Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sol Plaatje Local Municipality Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Sol Plaatje Local Municipality Airbnb took in R 55,435 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 6,240 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 Sol Plaatje Local Municipality's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sol Plaatje 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 765 adds about R 7,660 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 950 a night or more, against a median of R 765. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 9,700, against R 5,950 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sol Plaatje Local Municipality listings average 4.72 stars, and 25% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
