Homes in George: local notes
Wooden houses and log homes suit the forests and lake country around Wilderness, Hoekwil and Karatara, and local timber makes them easier to source. Nutec houses suit Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp, where landlords want rooms that will not rot in the rain. Container homes appear on smallholdings towards Mossel Bay. Ask for treated timber, a ventilated floor and gutters that carry water well away.
George: the ground, the weather and the yards
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.
