Pinetown notes on house designs
The Kloof and Hillcrest sets are often four bedroom houses with a study, double garage and a covered patio facing the valley, built in two levels to follow the slope. Westmead and Clermont stands often need a compact three bedroom with a cut-off granny unit. Modern flat roof designs suit the newer Hillcrest clusters, but check the estate guideline first.
Homes and buildings in Pinetown
Pinetown sits on the hills between the coast and the Hillcrest escarpment, and plans here follow the ridges and valleys. Westville, Kloof and Hillcrest have large stands, leafy gardens and gated estates with their own design rules, while Pinetown central, New Germany and Westmead mix factories, warehouses and small workshops with older homes. KwaDabeka, Clermont and parts of Mariannhill have dense houses on small stands where owners add rooms and rental units. Slopes, quartzite outcrops and wet summers mean careful drainage and foundations. Residential plans are mostly drawn by local draughtspersons, with architects used for the larger estate homes.
