AN EXTRA ROOM CAN SOLVE A LOT

Create the space your home is missing

Sometimes the house works perfectly - except there simply isn't enough room.

Maybe you need somewhere for visitors. A teenager needs their own space. Family stays regularly. Or you simply want a separate room without sacrificing your office, garage or living area.

A cabin gives you a practical way to add usable space alongside your existing home.

And the solution can be as simple or as independent as you need it to be.

  • Extra bedroom

    A simple private sleeping space when bathroom and kitchen facilities remain in the main house.

  • Guest room

    Give visitors somewhere comfortable to stay without rearranging the household every time somebody arrives.

  • Teenager's room

    Create more privacy and independence while keeping the space close to home.

  • Bedroom with ensuite

    Add greater convenience and privacy with dedicated bathroom facilities.

  • Self-contained guest accommodation

    A bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area allows guests to stay much more independently

MORE SPACE WITHOUT AN EXTENSION

Add a room without changing the house

If you already like your home, altering it may not be the best way to solve a space problem.

A transportable cabin can offer:

  • Separate space from the main household
  • Minimal disruption to the existing home
  • A range of different footprints
  • Completed rooms you can inspect before purchasing
  • Bathroom and self-contained options
  • Faster installation than many conventional extensions
  • Flexibility as your household changes

It's a straightforward idea: instead of finding another room inside the house, add one outside it.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF INDEPENDENCE

How much does your guest space need?

A compact cabin can work well when guests are happy to use the main home's facilities.

But if visitors stay regularly or for longer periods, greater independence can make a significant difference.

Options can include:

  • Bedroom only
  • Bedroom plus bathroom
  • Studio with ensuite
  • Kitchenette
  • Separate living space
  • One-bedroom self-contained cabin
  • Two-bedroom accommodation for families

You don't need to decide from a floor plan. Visit the yard and walk through different configurations to see what actually feels right.

BETTER FOR GUESTS. BETTER FOR YOU.

Give everyone their own space

Separate guest accommodation can make staying together easier.

Guests can:

  • Come and go more independently
  • Have somewhere to unpack
  • Retire for the evening without affecting the household
  • Have their own bathroom where provided
  • Stay for longer periods more comfortably

And the main household keeps its own bedrooms, routines and living spaces.

Sometimes a little physical separation makes having people stay more enjoyable for everyone.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Think beyond the number of beds

Consider:

  • How many people usually stay
  • How often the room will be used
  • Typical length of stay
  • Whether a bathroom is required
  • Whether cooking facilities are needed
  • Storage
  • Heating and insulation
  • Privacy
  • Location relative to the main house
  • Access to the cabin
  • Power, water and wastewater requirements

If you expect the space to become permanent accommodation in the future, it may make sense to choose a more capable layout now.

FAQs

Common questions

Does a guest cabin need a bathroom?

Not necessarily. For occasional guests close to the main home, a simple bedroom may be enough. An ensuite can provide much more privacy and convenience for frequent or longer stays.

Can a guest cabin have a kitchen?

Yes. Larger self-contained cabins can include kitchens or kitchenettes as well as bathrooms and living areas

What size cabin do I need for a guest bedroom?

That depends on whether you simply need space for a bed or want additional storage, seating, bathroom or living facilities. Visiting the yard and comparing layouts is often the easiest way to decide.

Can someone live in a guest cabin permanently?

Permanent accommodation can have different planning, building and infrastructure requirements from occasional guest use. If permanent occupation is likely, check the requirements for your property and choose the cabin accordingly.

Is a cabin easier than building an extra bedroom onto the house?

It can avoid significant alterations to the existing home because the cabin is largely built before it arrives. The overall project still depends on site access, preparation, services and regulatory requirements.
