How much can a large holiday home in Murree earn? This feasibility report projects a full year for a 10-bedroom property near Mall Road with covered parking for 7–8 cars, fully managed by Haven under the 40/60 plan. The expected outcome is PKR 25.1 million in bookings, with PKR 15.07 million going to the owner.
Why Murree is a strong short-stay market
Murree has two distinct peak seasons. In June and July, families from Islamabad, Lahore and across Punjab come up to escape the heat of the plains. In December and January, snow brings a second wave of visitors. Between the peaks sit quieter shoulder months, which is why seasonal pricing matters more in Murree than in most Pakistani destinations.
Large homes stand out in this market. Most Murree accommodation is hotel rooms and small apartments, so extended families and groups travelling together have limited choice when they want to stay under one roof. Parking is the other constraint: Murree is known for its shortage of parking, and a home with covered parking for several cars solves a real problem for guests arriving in more than one vehicle.
The property in this projection
- 10 bedrooms, let by the room
- Located near Mall Road
- Covered indoor parking for 7–8 cars
- Fully furnished and fully managed by Haven
The figures model a stabilised year: a home that is already listed, reviewed and operating normally, rather than its first months on the market.

| Dec | 70% | 16,000 | 3,472,000 | 2,083,200 |

What the monthly numbers show
Three months carry the year. June, July and December together bring in about PKR 11.3 million in bookings, around 45% of the annual total, and PKR 6.8 million for the owner. August and January add another PKR 3 million for the owner.
March and November are the weak points. Occupancy falls to around 30%, and the owner's share drops to about PKR 490,000–500,000 for the month. These are the best months for owner-side work such as structural repairs or furniture replacement, since taking the home offline costs the least.
Running costs are Haven's. Staff, utilities, cleaning, laundry, linen and advertising are all paid from Haven's 40%, so the owner's share is not reduced in quiet months.
Conservative, expected and strong-year outcomes
| Annual outcome (PKR) | Low | Expected | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average occupancy | About 38% | About 52% | About 58% |
| Total booking amount received | 12,483,000 | 25,121,000 | 32,814,000 |
| Owner share (60%) | 7,489,800 | 15,072,600 | 19,688,400 |
| Haven share (40%) | 4,993,200 | 10,048,400 | 13,125,600 |
The gap between the scenarios comes from occupancy and rates. The expected case assumes season-aware pricing, and the high case assumes the home consistently achieves premium rates.
How these figures were calculated
- Booking amount = 10 rooms × nights in the month × occupancy × nightly rate. Owner share = 60% of the booking amount.
- Not included: owner-borne items such as government taxes, structural maintenance and furniture or appliance replacement.
- Currency: all figures in PKR; USD conversions use PKR 280 to the dollar.
- Prepared: June 2026.
This is an indicative projection, not a financial guarantee. Actual results depend on the property's condition, its readiness for guests and market conditions.
How the partnership works
Haven runs and funds day-to-day operations. Haven's fee is 40% of the total booking amount received, and it covers all running costs: utilities, cleaning, caretaker and staff, and advertising.
