Florida, Discovery and Horison have older homes on decent stands, where owners add a granny flat, a nutec room to let or a wendy house for storage. Further north west, Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel, Little Falls and Honeydew have complexes with tight outbuilding rules, so a small wendy or garden office is common there.
