Granny Flats

For many families, the idea of adding a granny flat has always made sense. A little more space. A little more independence. A way to stay close without being on top of each other.

Why Granny flats are a great option

A kinder and smarter way to stay connected to family

One of the biggest appeals of a granny flat is the balance it can create. It gives people their own space, their own routine, and a greater sense of independence, while still being part of the wider family picture.

For some, that means having parents nearby with a bit more comfort and privacy. For others, it means creating room for family members who need their own space without feeling disconnected. Whatever the reason, the outcome is often the same: more flexibility, more support, and a better use of the property you already have.

For many people, the best way to picture what a granny flat could mean is to hear from someone who has already done it. That is where Adrienne’s story comes in.
