Holiday Homes and the
AIRBNB Model
The past decade has shown the growth of a market that caters to the convenience, comfort and budget of the everyday consumer. Oftentimes, personal cars have been replaced with Ubers, weeknight dinners are replaced with takeaway apps and hotels have been replaced with AirBnBs.
When one looks into these trends, their appeal is undeniable, especially the AirBnB model. It allows users to both rent and list out property in various locales, at rates lower than that of many hotels. This model is great for hosts and visitors alike. Guests often benefit from a hospitable host with greater knowledge of the area and attentive customer service.
Hosts can enjoy the benefit of flexibility in terms of when they choose to list their homes, as well as for how much Airbnb is an online marketplace that connects people who want to rent out their homes with people who are looking for accommodation in that locale. It currently covers more than 81,000 cities and 191 countries worldwide.
For hosts, participating in Airbnb is a way to earn money from their property, but with the risk that the guest might do damage to it. For guests, the advantage can be relatively inexpensive accommodation, but with the risk that the property may not be as appealing as the listing made it seem. You plug onto a platform that was previously only for Hotels and the returns can be quite rewarding.
Mauya Homes is a group of AirBnBs hosted by Styline Chivaura, which operate both in Johannesburg, South Africa, as well as Harare, Zimbabwe. The homes located in Johannesburg are in the much sought-after areas of Fourways, Waterfall Precinct and Buccleuch which allow for the convenience of being located near major shopping and business districts.
They also offer the peace and quiet of suburban living and have shown themselves to be popular choices amongst those travelling for business or leisure who also wish to be with family. The properties in Zimbabwe consist of an apartment in a prime location that boasts manicured gardens, is a stone’s throw away from Harare Sports Club and has amenities such as DSTV and WIFI.
The last of Mauya Homes, which is currently under renovation and set to be listed by 1 December 2021, is a home in Edinburg Gardens, near The Sam Levy Village. This home offers a landscaped garden, a solar power supply, quality Egyptian cotton linen, as well as a library for bookworms, both young and old.
The first of the Mauya Homes AirBnB is located in Fourways, Johannesburg. After having initially been rented out for long-term leases, it was converted to an AirBnB after realising a higher return on investment in the short-term lease market.
Located just outside of the prestigious Dainfern Golf Estate, this property is close to Lanseria airport, the entertainment hub of Monte Casino, the newly renovated and expanded Fourways Mall, as well as a short drive to Fourways Life Hospital.
This makes it ideal for both lone travellers, as well as families, as its ideal location offers much in terms of entertainment and activity, while also making sure no guest has to compromise on safety and security.
