RE: Road trip - Durban to Johannesburg, South Africa
Thanks for sharing the lovely scenery. And your son's house looks interesting. I'm wondering about the material used in making the roof. It looks very unusual!
Hi @anise, nice seeing you again :)
My son's cottage has a grass thatch roof, quite popular in Gauteng, possibly an abundance of material. Most game reserve lodges have thatch roofs as well. Very popular all over South Africa is a thatch gazebo for entertaining outdoors. Have a look at this link courtesy of homify for nice examples and also what it looks like inside. Excuse the adverts that pop up when you go there.
I see I am not the only one curious about that roof! Nothing that exotic exists here in Canada..although I have seen thatched gazebo in southern US.
