Rooms, cabins & buildings in East London: local notes
Holiday cabins and lodge chalets go up along the coast towards Cintsa, Haga Haga and Kei Mouth, often on dune slopes reached by rough roads. Granny flats in Vincent, Berea and Baysville house parents and tenants. Site offices and prefab stores serve the factories at West Bank and Wilsonia. Schools in Mdantsane and Bhisho add prefab classrooms when space runs short.
Mobile Homes here usually suit farms, holiday plots, smallholdings and sites. Made or supplied like this: a living unit built on its own wheeled chassis.

Humid coastal air and a long, wet summer make East London harder on timber than people expect. Wendy houses in Nahoon, Vincent and Beacon Bay need sealing more often than inland, and salt reaches roof screws and gutters well back from the beach. Mdantsane, Duncan Village and Scenery Park keep a steady call for nutec rental rooms and family units on small stands, while Gonubie and the Wild Coast resorts at Cintsa and Kei Mouth ask for holiday cabins and chalets. Factories at West Bank and Wilsonia use site offices and prefab stores. Hilly suburbs need a level base before delivery, termites are active on the warm coast, and Buffalo City expects plans for anything lived in.
