Guide to tiny houses in Adelaide

The tiny house movement has captured the hearts of many people in Adelaide as more people become aware of the benefits and possibilities of tiny houses.

What people in Adelaide love about tiny houses

Adelaide's housing market has seen a rapid increase in prices, often making it challenging for individuals and families to enter the housing market or downsize to somewhere affordable.

The affordability of tiny houses is one of the most significant drivers for their popularity. People can live comfortably within their means without sacrificing quality of life.

Compared to an expensive property in Adelaide or the Barossa Valley, a well-designed tiny house is on average 5 times cheaper and 10 times more beautiful!

Tiny houses challenge the Australian norm of typical suburban home sizes, promoting a more minimalist lifestyle that is not permanently fixed to one location.

Lastly, people have seen the level of quality that Hauslein tiny houses can achieve with innovative features, full-size appliances, and beautiful real-wood finishes.


How people in Adelaide use TINY HOUSES 

  • Full-time dwelling - Our bigger tiny house models are specially designed to give 1-2 people or even a small family a very liveable space with all of the necessities and many of the comforts & perks you need. For young couples tiny houses are a stepping stone towards property ownership.

  • Family accommodation - People love the flexibility of giving family and friends a beautiful self-contained place to stay for a night or a weekend. A well-designed tiny house can even make for the perfect place for family members to stay on a longer-term basis.

  • Guest accommodation - If you have a property with a stunning view or near a desirable location such as the Barossa wine growing region, then a tiny house could open you up to income from short-term guest bookings, without much of the usual time-consuming and expensive hassle associated with building a traditional house.


Tiny House Council reguLATions in Adelaide

Tiny houses by Häuslein are available in a range of base models, layouts and optional extras giving people flexibility and choice.

In recent years, councils in Adelaide have become more open to the idea of tiny houses, recognising their potential to provide affordable housing options and contribute to sustainable development.

Navigating council regulations for building and living in a tiny house in Adelaide requires careful research and consideration.

If the tiny house will be placed on residential or rural land which has an existing dwelling on the property and sufficient space to set it up - generally councils can have no problem with it.

Remember, a tiny house on wheels is technically a caravan, so it doesn’t require a DA.

As a general rule of thumb, the more built up an area is, the more likely your local council might have something to say. It doesn’t hurt to call your local council to check about adding a tiny house     on wheels to your property.

Here are the important pointers:

  • You can’t live permanently in a tiny house on a vacant block of land that does not have a dwelling or planning permission for a dwelling.

  • You can’t park your tiny house too close to a neighbour’s fence.

  • You can’t park your tiny house on an easement.

  • You can’t block a neighbour’s views.

  • Beyond council regulations, suburban developments will probably not allow a tiny house to be placed on a vacant block of land.
