Rondavel House Plans in Pretoria
Draughtspersons around Pretoria draw rondavels and hexagonal huts for homesteads, guest lodges and holiday farms across Gauteng. 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 Pretoria: local notes
Mooikloof, Moreleta Park and Garsfontein buyers lean towards modern double storey homes with a braai area and flat roofs behind parapets. In Mamelodi East and Soshanguve, three-bedroom houses are usually built in stages on 300 to 500 square metre stands, starting with two rooms. Families in Villieria and Rietondale ask for granny flats that suit a retired parent, so check whether Tshwane's rules allow a second dwelling.
Homes and buildings in Pretoria
Pretoria has a different rhythm from Johannesburg: jacaranda streets, red-brick Victorian and Art Deco houses, and a ring of newer estates. Older suburbs such as Arcadia, Sunnyside, Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Muckleneuk hold buildings that may fall under heritage rules, while Hatfield and Sunnyside have student flats and rental blocks. To the east, Mooikloof and Faerie Glen are filling with modern double storey homes, and in the north Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa see families extend their houses and add backyard rooms. Hills and rocky outcrops affect slopes, and the Apies River floods in places. Draughtspersons, technologists and architects across the city quote directly.
Typical rondavel house plans requests in the area 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
- Rental and granny flat investors: rental rondavels for tourists, drawn to the zoning and the fire rules for thatch
- Developers and builders: a small holiday village of repeat rondavel units on a coastal or bushveld stand
- Shops, offices and restaurants: guest rondavels with en-suites and decks for a lodge, guest farm or tea garden
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved drawings for a rondavel on a farm or smallholding being sold, so the bank accepts it
- Churches, schools and crèches: a round meeting room or crèche hut with good ventilation and a fire-safe roof
