The commission is based on the property type and location
We multi-list your home across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and more, syncing calendars and pricing to maximise occupancy and ADR, managed from one dashboard.
Johannesburg short-lets are averaging an ADR of R900.13 with 49% occupancy, around R160,987 in annual booking revenue per well-run listing. With professional optimisation and dynamic pricing, we typically add ~+30% versus self-managed.
The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.
I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.
For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.
The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.
The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.
I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.

Before you list, check Johannesburg’s local rules (City of Johannesburg Metro). Compliance typically covers planning/permissions, safety/estate by-laws, and tax/record-keeping.
• Planning/permissions: Confirm zoning/use with the City of Johannesburg; obtain written consent where required. Check sectional-title/HOA rules for any short-stay limits, quiet hours, or guest caps (e.g., Sandton/Rosebank buildings).
• Safety/building: Install working smoke alarms, service fire equipment, and hold valid Electrical/Gas Certificates of Compliance. Display house rules/emergency info; manage noise, parking, waste and pool fencing per by-laws.
• Tax/records: Declare Airbnb income to SARS; keep invoices and occupancy logs; claim allowable expenses. Consider VAT registration if 12-month turnover exceeds R1,000,000; maintain suitable STR insurance.
