There's more to retirement than a rest home.
If you've been looking at retirement village brochures and wondering whether there's a better way, there is.
Kiwi families are choosing something different - a quality granny flat close to family, where Mum or Dad gets their own front door, their own space, and their independence back.
​
Picture a two-bedroom home, right there on your section. Separate entrance. Own kitchen and bathroom. Close enough to keep an eye on things, far enough that everyone gets to breathe.
​
It's not a sleep-out or a converted garage. It's a proper home - built to the same standards as the house you grew up in, just smaller.

Want to keep mum and dad close (but not too close)?
Talk to us about a granny flat for your property and throw out those retirement village brochures.
Built like a real home.
Because it is one.
Our granny flats are timber-framed and built to the New Zealand Building Code — the same construction methods used in full-sized homes across the country, scaled down.
That means warm walls, proper insulation, a home that doesn't sweat in winter or feel like a shipping container in summer.
Your parents deserve better than that, and so do you.
Financially, it makes sense.
Retirement village entry fees typically start at $300,000–$500,000, and that's before the monthly fees are added on!
​
Our quality, timber-built homes start from $63,900 - placed on your own section, owned outright by your family, and add value to your property.
​
If your parents are healthy, independent, and simply need a space of their own closer to family - a granny flat from Freedom Cabins is the answer you’ve been looking for.
What our customers say
Paul and Rachel Henstock's family made the decision to bring their parents home… from a retirement village!
There was a ribbon-cutting. There were tears. And there was a Freedom Cabin sitting in the backyard waiting for them.
​
This is the kind of thing that reminds us why we do this.
