Guest cabins, backyard cabins
Whereas all granny flats are potentially rentable, it makes sense to have a backyard cabin where guests can stay without being fully self-contained. Usually a backyard studio room with ensuite, and with or without a kitchenette, the backyard cabin can accommodate your guests for a casual overnight sleepover or longer term. In many locations, the backyard guest cabin could be rented as a short-term holiday stay. Many backyard studios serve a variety of purposes for the homeowner, such as with a combined home office and guest cabin, or teenage retreat. The backyard cabin can be your DIY building project, built to lock-up for you to finish the internals, or completely finished for you – the choice is yours anywhere in Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and many other areas.
