Profit
Is an Airbnb in Greyton Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Greyton Airbnb took in R 194,204 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 11,500 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 27,700 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R 7,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R 12,100 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R 10,000 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 Greyton's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Greyton listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 2,440 adds about R 24,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 3,525 a night or more, against a median of R 2,440. 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 18,700 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about R 39,400, against R 11,700 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Greyton listings average 4.92 stars, and 68% 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 38,400 a month, against R 16,200 for the average one.
