Cape Town: Muizenberg Beach huts restoration complete!

The City of Cape Town has announced that the refurbishment of the iconic beach huts has been completed ahead of the tourism season at Cape Town’s Muizenberg Beach. The final phase of the Muizenberg Huts Refurbishment Project entailed the refurbishment of 26 double huts and 10 single huts on the Muizenberg East Beach Side to the value of R5,9million, with Surfers Corner Beach Side completed in the previous phase. Construction work started on 18 September 2023 and was completed on schedule before the start of the holidays. The scope of work included:

  • replacement of the ground floor joists, timber bearers, and roof rafters with treated timber.
  • replacement of the sidewall panels and roof covering with Nutec cladding.
  • reconstruction of the timber staircase and the installation of concrete bases for the staircase posts.
  • reconstruction of timber seating benches inside the beach huts.
  • replacement of the timber floor boards and timber doors.
  • replacement of all steel bolted connections with hot-dipped galvanised bolts and plates.
  • wood treatment of all timber members, repainting the side cladding and roof covering.


Kudos Friends of the Muizenberg Huts!
