Homes in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Wendy houses and wooden homes in Pinetown, Westville and Hillcrest often stand on stilts because the stands fall away so steeply. On the coast near Umhlanga, Scottburgh and Margate, container homes need a paint system made for the sea air and regular rust checks. Log homes and timber cottages are common in the Midlands around Howick and Lions River. Nutec houses suit Umlazi and Edendale, where they add rooms quickly on small stands.
Sizes run from one room to three bedrooms. Before you agree to anything: council plans, NHBRC for a new home.
What gets put up around KwaZulu-Natal
Humidity is the steady enemy of prefab buildings in KwaZulu-Natal. On the coast from Port Shepstone to Ballito and Richards Bay, salt air rusts steel and fixings, and damp gets into any timber that is not sealed. Inland, the Midlands around Howick and Nottingham Road and the Drakensberg foothills near Underberg and Bergville build log cabins, chalets and cottages for guests. Durban townships such as Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda add backyard rooms and granny flats on steep stands, and sugar cane and timber farms need staff housing. Steep slopes, heavy summer rain and termites in the warmer areas call for a careful base and treated wood. Plans go to the local municipality before anything is built.
