Our Reviews

"Recently, we engaged with Cottage Cabins to provide a demountable building for the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service in Carrara, and we are absolutely thrilled with the outcome. From start to finish, their service was friendly, efficient, and reliable. They delivered exactly what they promised—on time and with a smile. Thank you, Colette and the Cottage Cabin crew—we highly recommend them!"

The SLSQ - Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Team

"I had the pleasure of purchasing one of these beautiful homes. As a university student, cottage cabins understood the importance of a home with the realistic financial situation most people my age are in. Colette helped me design it to my dream home and the inspiration of what that looks like while still being honest with me of what looks good together and what doesn’t. She has impeccable taste."

Maddy

"I can’t thank Colette enough for her help during the planning of our cabin, her expertise and knowledge made everything so easy. We are super happy with our cabin, everything turned out better than I imaged. Also their after sales service is awesome, we would definitely recommend Cottage Cabins, the whole journey was amazing."

Tracey & Paul

"They were quick and efficient and brought amazing energy to the site (he brought their two gorgeous dogs!). In such an unrealistic standard of housing these guys bring something to the market, I would recommend them over anyone else and they’re definitely a force to be reckoned with. Cottage cabins is definitely the way to go!"

Connor

"From the very first phone call, Mick and Colette have bent over backwards to help get us settled in the house of our dreams. Their expertise, professionalism, and customer service has been top notch. We've also enjoyed the down to earth humour that they brought to every interaction. The 5 Stars are well and truly deserved."

Shaeyna

"Working with Cottage Cabins has been an incredible experience from start to finish. From our very first conversation, Colette and Mick were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us bring our tiny home vision to life. They guided us through the design process with patience and insight, offering smart suggestions that matched our needs and our budget. The craftsmanship is top-notch, they clearly take pride in what they do."

Dylan & Steph

"Me and my partner were struggling to move out and have money for a house to rent…. But this is when Collete and mick reached out and they got us interested in a tiny home. They are amazing in communication, helping and amazing overall. No words can explain how much we appreciate them for helping us. We have now officially moved in and we are beyond grateful and so happy. They helped us design the layout and design of the house. Thankyou guys for everything"

Maddie & Mykal

"Hi guys. Cottage cabins are a fantastic company to deal with. They went the extra mile trying to help us get into our own home. Sadly our finances didn't quite get us across the line. But that was on our end not theirs. Colette tried everything to get the build with in our budget. Walking through the cabin in person and also doing the same with competitors there was no comparison. Cottage cabins are easily the best choice."

Bianca & Jonathan

"Buying from cottage cabins was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I went with the Cottage, and i'm still amazed at how spacious and functional it feels for such a compact home. The finishes are beautiful, the quality is top-tier, and you can tell it was built with care. I loved being able to choose the style (I went with a Hamptons vibe) and the amount of customisation they offered made it feel like my home right from the start."

Kate & Craig

"We were looking for a tiny home that didn't feel tiny, and Cottage Cabins delivered. The Retreat model is spacious, with high ceilings and quality finishes throughout. The installation process was seamless, and the team was incredibly helpful. Our little home feels like a luxury retreat!"

Sasha

"These cabins are such a great idea! It’s amazing how such a nice little home can come in a compact package. Cottage cabins are also a cut above the rest in the market with their superior quality finishes and customizable options."
