Flamwood and the leafier suburbs have garden lapas and some thatched homes. The Schoonspruit runs through town, and the Vaal River near Orkney has river plots and holiday spots where thatch suits the setting. Out toward Hartbeesfontein, maize and cattle farms have lapas and the occasional rondavel. Summers bring thunderstorms and lightning across the flat country; winters are dry and cold. Local thatchers are few, and many jobs are quoted by crews from Potchefstroom or Gauteng.
