Log Cabins - Timberlog Homes

While we would not recommend an amateur with no building experience to tackle the construction of a HEAVY SOLID LOG home, it has been shown frequently that contractors or developers with no log home experience can erect their own homes – or parts of a home – relying solely on the manual that we provide. T&B supply all necessary material to complete the home including all drainage, sanitaryware, electrical wiring, built-in cupboards, glazing and all paint and varnishes if required. All components are labeled. Where it is needed, T&B can provide technical assistance and, when working in partnership with a new contractor, this is always provided.

John Tanner, a civil engineer who had operated with great success in the construction of some of South Africa’s most challenging railways, retired to the pleasant South Cape village of Knysna with its famous lagoon, fynbos covered hillsides and extensive pine commercial forests in 1984.

In 1985 he took over and grew the T&B Log Homes construction company. This was one of the first companies in the Southern Hemisphere to recognise that timber house construction was on the increase worldwide (a substantial percentage of timber homes in the USA and Canadian are built with solid logs) and that the demand would shift upmarket to quality, long-lasting products with the durability, thermal characteristics and aesthetic appeal equal, if not better, to that of the best brick and mortar homes.

Tanner completely transformed the T&B system by inventing and patenting (in 51 countries) a new method of compacting the Heavy Solid Logs through strong downward pressure. This was a world first and, in the opinion of T&B’s management, has never yet been bettered or even equalled elsewhere.

Our log homes and holiday resort cabins come in so many sizes and shapes and each one is unique and beautiful. The reason why log homes are great stands mostly in their structure and the fact that they are easy to build. Here you will find a selection of the finest residential and log hotels, custom designed by T&B Log Homes. They are here to inspire you and help you come closer to your future log home.

Our favourite is the Custom 3 Bedroom villa constructed on Mahe, Seychelles. The villa was built on an extremely challenging and steep site amongst large trees while ensuring the house is barely visible externally. The custom log house has a two-floor plan, plenty of windows and a large veranda to create a beautiful atmosphere inside and a well-lit interior.

Take a look at the examples below and choose your favourite, then contact T&B Log Homes to help you get closer to the home of your dreams.
