Homes in Mthatha: local notes
Nutec houses are the common prefab choice in villages around Qunu and Mqanduli, standing beside rondavels as an extra bedroom or a family home. Fibre cement on a frame does not rot, which helps on remote sites where repairs are hard. In town, wooden wendy houses serve as storerooms and spaza style rooms. Ask for insulation, because summers are hot and winter nights are cold.
Tiny Houses here usually suit backyard units, off-grid homes and cabins. Made or supplied like this: timber or steel frame, trailer or slab.
