Why choose Cottage Cabins and beware of cheap imports
Not all imported cabins are built to Australian standards. Before buying elsewhere, ask:Is it structurally modified for Australian requirements?
Does it come with an Australian engineer’s structural assessment?
Is there a Form 15 signed by an Australian structural engineer?
Is it rated to withstand N2 or N3 wind speeds?
At Cottage Cabins, safety comes first. While our cottages are imported, each undergoes significant structural modifications by Australian engineers to meet strict local safety standards. Don’t compromise on your family’s safety — choose wisely.

We provide complete support from concept to completion, including, Site Visit & Assessment, Site Preparation, Engineering & Access, Foundations & Footings, Decking & Landscaping, Relocation & Extension of Services, Installation & Assembly, Interior Design Assistance
Built for Australian Conditions, Our cottages are designed to comply with Australian Design Rules (ADR), making them road-registerable caravans when placed on trailers.
We design and manufacture our own 100 per cent Australian-made trailers, tailored for our range of tiny homes and compliant with VSB1 standards.
This gives you the flexibility to classify your cottage as a caravan rather than a permanent dwelling when needed.
Regulations vary across councils and states. For example, in Queensland, some councils allow the construction of a granny flat (secondary dwelling) up to 80sqm without planning approval — provided certain conditions are met.
Before purchasing your dream Cottage: Always consult your local council to confirm approvals and understand that our cottages are not classified as Class 1A buildings and may not meet permanent dwelling standards.
For anything beyond temporary or caravan use, you’ll need to check compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and other relevant building standards.
A Word of Caution, Some resellers may advertise cabins as ADR-compliant caravans when they are not. Others may sell cabins that fail to meet NCC requirements. With Cottage Cabins, you can be confident in the safety, compliance, and quality of your investment.
