Eco Log Cabins



Welcome to Eco Log Cabins. A visit to this web site is the first step in your search for that rustic log home which offers the perfect blend of harmony, natural beauty, comfort and value. Together we can make your dream come true.
Built in the tradition of American, Canadian and Scandinavian homes, an Eco Log Cabin will blend in with any environment: from endless rolling plains to expansive sea vistas; from a wooded mountainside, to a quiet water’s edge. Or imagine how much attention it will attract in a big city!

Custom built for your specific requirements, our builders follow a timeless tradition in vertical log construction to create one of the most comfortable homes. The special atmosphere you get from a log home gives the feeling of being on an endless holiday.
Logs are selected from cultivated pine forests especially for your home, then hand-peeled, flattened, grooved and pressure treated with Boron – a non-toxic, colourless chemical.
Hand-peeling enhances the glowing cambium and wonderful knots bringing out the natural beauty of the wood. They are then hand-fitted, producing some of the finest homes in the log home industry.


About Us


Our goal at Eco Log Cabins is to provide complete, quality home packages at affordable prices. Established in 1997 as a closed corporation, we have well-trained teams dedicated to building quality log homes.
Graeme Willis, the sole member of the CC, is a founding member of the Handcrafted Log Home Builders Association. Based in Underberg, in the beautiful Southern Drakensberg of KwaZulu-Natal, we will build almost anywhere in Southern Africa. Although we have standard house plans, we prefer to sit with our customers and design your dream home thus ensuring that you get exactly what you want. Feel free to send us your special requirements and we can have a home designed for you. Or send us your plans–we will be glad to give you a quote.

DOUBLE-UP Roof Room Specialists



Double Up is a company that gives home owners the opportunity to expand above an existing structure in a more affordable, clean and cost effective way. By adding a roofroom, attic room, loftroom, or timberframe extention.

Double Up uses eco friendly, sustainable materials, and first world building methods to build loft rooms. Construction causes no damage to the environment and is of little inconvenience to the homeowner as there is no need to seek alternative accommodation whilst construction is underway. On average the Double Up timber frame building method is 50% more time and energy efficient than conventional brick and mortar, and far cleaner, as there is no need for big heavy machinery or vehicles. There is also no need to reinforce supporting walls or underpin foundations.

Another benefit of the Double Up building method is the speed at which a structure is erected. An average 80sqm loft room takes 6 weeks to complete. There is no need for the homeowner to move out as building of the roofroom, attic room, loftroom, or timberframe extention continues. The Double Up system is the fastest way to grow your home.

Inspired by the tranquil and natural atmosphere of a log home, we developed our own unique style and pride ourselves in our work. Log homes have become very popular, not only as vacation homes, but permanent residences for those looking for the ultimate in luxury, comfort, spaciousness and light.

Southbroom and surrounds have a variety of our log homes, from the most modern to the average family house, from high bare roof trusses to open plans, some have wooden floors and some ceramic or porcelain tiles. We have done extensive paving, and many ground containing methods, such as lock blocks or natural stone walls. Whatever the need, whether contemporary or old fashioned, our finishing are of the highest quality throughout our houses. A recent project of 5 units in Port Edward is an attractive project

We undertake complete contracts from your own ideas to the drawing up of plans, removal of wood restrictions and the approval process by the Council.
