Rondavel House Plans in Kimberley
Draughtspersons around Kimberley draw rondavels and hexagonal huts for homesteads, guest lodges and holiday farms across Northern Cape. Tell them whether the stand is in a town, on a farm or under a traditional authority, and how far the hut will be from the boundary, because thatch and fire rules depend on it.

House designs in Kimberley: local notes
In Hadison Park, Diamant Park and Royldene, buyers choose single storey face-brick homes with three bedrooms, a double garage and a braai area, usually under a concrete tile or IBR roof. Galeshewe and Roodepan owners more often ask for a simple two bedroom house that can take a third room later. Granny flats behind older Belgravia houses are a rising request for rentals.
Homes and buildings in Kimberley
Kimberley grew around the Big Hole, and its older suburbs of Belgravia, Kimberley North and Monument Heights have Victorian and Edwardian houses with corrugated iron roofs, verandas and lacework that may carry heritage protection. Across town, Galeshewe, Roodepan and Ritchie have township houses and backyard rooms being extended, while Hadison Park, Diamant Park and Royldene offer modern face-brick homes. Flat, dry land and hot summers mean thick walls, deep overhangs and sensible roof insulation. Draughtspersons work from Kimberley offices and handle plans for the whole Sol Plaatje area and into the wider Northern Cape.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Families building a new house: a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house
- Owners adding or changing rooms: joining a rondavel to an existing house with a covered passage and a matching roof
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved drawings for a rondavel on a farm or smallholding being sold, so the bank accepts it
- Shops, offices and restaurants: guest rondavels with en-suites and decks for a lodge, guest farm or tea garden
- Rental and granny flat investors: rental rondavels for tourists, drawn to the zoning and the fire rules for thatch
- Churches, schools and crèches: a round meeting room or crèche hut with good ventilation and a fire-safe roof
- Developers and builders: a small holiday village of repeat rondavel units on a coastal or bushveld stand
- Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a family homestead of several huts for sleeping, cooking and storing, built in phases
Local tips for Kimberley
Most asked for in Kimberley: renovations of older houses, backyard rooms in Galeshewe and 3 bedroom homes. Who draws them: draughtspersons around Du Toitspan Road, architects with heritage experience in Belgravia. A useful tip: ask if your house is over 60 years old before you plan any change.
Jobs range from single 10 m² huts to 100 m² clusters. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house. One local point to raise: hot, dry and flat; old mine ground in places: ask about a geotechnical report.
What to include in your request
- Round, six corner or eight corner
- Thatch, sheeting or tile roof
- How many huts and how they link up
- Distance to boundaries and other buildings
- Whether it is a home, a rental or a lodge unit
A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
