Prefab and timber building in George
Rain falls in every season along this part of the Garden Route, so George buyers worry more about damp than heat. Timber is everywhere, from plantations on the Outeniqua slopes to sawmills in the area, and wooden houses, log cabins and holiday chalets are common towards Wilderness, Hoekwil and the lakes. Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp add nutec and timber backyard rooms, while Blanco and the older suburbs take granny flats and studios. Herold's Bay and the coast bring salt air and sandy plots. The Garden Route has had serious veld fires, so ask about clearing vegetation around timber buildings, and hot berg winds can blow in winter. Plans go to the George municipality.
