Granny Flats Cairns

Modular prefab granny flats in Cairns are an excellent solution for adding flexible and cost-effective living space to your property. Perfect for extended family or as an investment rental, these flats are designed to comply with local council regulations. Cairns City Council typically requires that granny flats not exceed 50% of the total area of the lot and must be secondary to the main residence in size and location. Neo Living ensures every granny flat project adheres to these stipulations, providing a hassle-free construction and installation process.
