Homes and buildings in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from industrial Gqeberha and East London to the Wild Coast and the Karoo. In Gqeberha, Walmer, Summerstrand and Newton Park have a mix of older bungalows and new apartments, while Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred draw surf and retirement homes shaped by relentless wind. Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and Cradock hold Victorian and Cape Dutch buildings where heritage rules matter, and Mthatha and the former Transkei rely on rural homesteads, rondavels and block houses built stage by stage. Farmhouses on Karoo sheep farms tend to be single storey with thick walls and tin roofs.
