There’s no doubt family holidays and weekend getaways are some of the best times—which is why more and more people are choosing to build their own holiday home in their favourite place on the coast, in the bush or in the countryside.
Modular designs are a great option for holiday homes, and we’ve built hundreds across Victoria and NSW, for couples, retirees and families, helping them bring their vision and ideas to life.
Whether you plan to use the home exclusively for your own holidays, or rent it out while not in use, there are some key design features to look out for and factors to consider.
So in this article we’ve narrowed the focus to 3 popular modular designs for holiday homes to provide you with some inspiration.
