Building conditions in Plettenberg Bay

Plettenberg Bay is a holiday town where many homes are used seasonally, so maintenance, repairs and renovations tend to follow the holiday calendar. Larger homes in security and golf estates have design guidelines, and estate approval comes before municipal approval by Bitou Municipality. Salt air along the beachfront and at Keurboomstrand corrodes fixings and balustrades, while rain spread through the year tests waterproofing. Sandy coastal soils and steep sites above the beaches need site-specific foundations and retaining walls. Township areas such as Kwanokuthula and Bossiesgif see steady extensions, and guesthouses, restaurants and lodges in the area add hospitality work.
