What to know locally in East London
Nutec houses are common in Mdantsane and Duncan Village, where fibre cement boards on a light frame give a quick, rot free room. In Beacon Bay and Nahoon, timber wendy houses work as studios and staff rooms if the frame is treated and the cladding is sealed. Wooden houses and log style cottages suit plots at Gonubie and Cintsa, but ask about termites and salt before you choose timber.
Modular Homes here usually suit family homes, cottages and lodge units. Made or supplied like this: whole room modules built in a factory.
What gets put up around East London
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.
Typical modular homes requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a two or three bedroom family home craned onto your stand and finished quickly

- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: matching guest units with en suites set on plinths across a lodge or guest farm
