Homes and buildings in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is known as the Windy City, with mild temperatures, salty air and sudden rain coming in off Algoa Bay. Seafront apartments in Summerstrand and Humewood, and older houses in Walmer, Mill Park and Newton Park, often need floors that stand up to sand and moisture. Many owners replace carpet, parquet or old quarry tile with porcelain, and tile covered patios against the wind. Guesthouses and holiday lets near the beach want non-slip finishes. Motherwell, KwaZakhele and Despatch have a steady flow of new houses and upgrades. Tile showrooms cluster along the main roads in Newton Park and Walmer, and tilers work across the metro.
