Tiny houses are compact, transportable dwellings and an affordable option. Granny flats (generally larger) are a fully self-contained, comfortable home with up to 3 bedrooms and still an affordable residential option for those looking for accommodation in today’s property market. A granny flat is a self-contained “house”, usually built on the grounds of a family home. The granny flat is often detached from the other home, although sometimes attached via either interior or exterior walkways. The granny flat has enough space for 1 to 2 people to live comfortably. They also have room for visitors or more storage space, as granny flats can have up to 3 bedrooms. Different states and their local councils have different rules for the maximum size allowable, ranging from 60 to 80 square metres and up to two-storeys high. Be sure to check with your local council as to the rules for the maximum size allowed for a granny flat in your habitable space, as these vary from council to council.
