Completed Central Coast Granny Flat Ourimbah
For her Ourimbah property on the Central Coast, Samantha Pennington chose our contemporary two-bedroom design, The Dock.
Constructed on a steel frame and truss system with a slab on ground (SOG) foundation, the granny flat was delivered through a Development Application (DA) process, which added time due to council delays. Once approved we completed the granny flat within 12 weeks. Built in a BAL 29 bushfire zone, the project followed our standard specifications, with Samantha opting to keep all selections as included – another testament to the value that Acrow Granny Flats offer.
The Dock offers a practical two-bedroom layout with built-in wardrobes, a combined bathroom and laundry, and an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that makes the most of its 60m² footprint.
The build was managed by Sales Manager Duke Brown and Project Manager Dario Villar, who oversaw the project through approval and construction. Samantha lived in the main home during the build and enjoyed watching the granny flat take shape in her backyard.
Acrow Ourimbah Granny Flat Review
Samantha later shared her experience in a glowing five-star Google review, praising Acrow’s patience through the long approval and loan process, and the efficient build once construction began:
I’ve been dealing with Acrow for almost 2 years and they have been great. The DA approval took 7 months due to delays with council. There were then delays on my side getting the loan approved. Acrow were very patient through the whole process. Once they got the all clear the build was done in 3 months. I was very happy with the end result and the service provided by Acrow. I’d recommend them to anyone wanting to build a granny flat!

Lake Macquarie Granny Flat Case Study: Cooranbong
Our client Jim chose our popular two-bedroom design, The Prime, for his granny flat project. Opting for the standard configuration, he did not require any upgrades, so we were ready to build quickly. Completed in 2023, this build was notable for its location at the front of the main house, a less common choice that suited Jim’s specific needs perfectly and was still able to be constructed under CDC. The project was managed efficiently by our Sales Manager, Mick, and overseen by our Project Manager, Dario, ensuring timely completion in approximately 14 weeks.
The Prime floor plan is a favourite among our clients, featuring two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a generously sized bathroom/laundry, and an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area. Jim opted for the skillion roof style, enhancing the modern aesthetic of his new home. With an internal area of 60 square meters, The Prime offers a spacious yet cosy living environment.
Despite the simplicity of the build, the project was not without its challenges. Constructed on bearers and joists with a steel frame, the granny flat required careful planning and execution to ensure stability and durability. Jim’s choice to position the granny flat at the front of his property presented a unique opportunity to maximise the available space while maintaining a harmonious layout with the existing main house.
Jim was an exceptional client, and his positive experience is reflected in his stellar five-star review on Google. His feedback highlights the quality of our work and the dedication of our team. We are proud to have delivered a project that combines style, practicality, and comfort, meeting all of Jim’s expectations.
The Prime granny flat stands as a testament to our commitment to providing high-quality, adaptable living solutions. Jim now enjoys a beautifully designed, functional space that complements his lifestyle and enhances his property’s value.
Acrow Lake Macquarie Granny Flat Review
Here is the five star feedback these clients left on Google for our work on this Cooranbong granny flat:
What a Fantastic Experience !!
From the very beginning, The sales rep let me know all of the ins and outs ,very honest and did a great job getting the legals that needed to be done, The office staff were friendly and a great help in deciding the colours of the flat and the fixtures inside,
The builder went over everything with a fine tooth comb, if he had an issue with anything he rang me about it and rectified it straight away, very knowledgeable,
I met these guys face to face and they were all a pleasure to deal with, The best part is the price i was quoted is exactly what i paid even through price fluctuations during the build,
Every Friday I received an email telling me what was completed that week and what will be done next week, i was never out of the loop, This is a very professional outfit,
I couldn’t be happier !
Thank You Acrow !!
Jim.

Maitland Area Hunter Region Granny Flat Case Study
This granny flat was recently completed in Bolwarra in the city of Maitland. It was built for a mother and son duo with the only issue being who gets to move in! They selected The Dock Plus design from our large range of modern two bedroom granny flats and were able to make upgrades on the design and build such as a dual skillion roof, Velux skylights and extended porch. They also chose to upgrade the windows and sliding door.
A modern tiled bathroom separates the two bedrooms, each fitted with a built-in robe to maximise space. The Dock Plus design also includes a linen cupboard and a separate laundry for added convenience. The clients have created a real entertainers delight with this granny flat design. To complement the generous and well thought out living space they have added a porch that wraps around from the front all the way down the side of the granny flat. The sliding door gives easy access from the living area straight onto the porch, and outdoor lighting means the space can be used day and night. The kitchen features modern appliances and additional bench space.
This was a DA submission, and the property is in a heritage listed area. Some neighbours made enquiries about this build when the submission was in council, however everything went through fine. Access for the build was through the existing houses’ garage which we managed for the client, keeping a tidy site at all times.
With the personal touches – it’s now a perfect little home. In fact, illustrating the flexibility of a granny flat with Acrow, our client built the granny flat with the intention of her moving in, however her son and his fiancé ended up moving in instead. This was a great addition to a large block which already contained a 4 bedroom house, meaning the clients have all the space needed to live their best lives – as independently or together as they wished
Maitland Granny Flat Five Star Review
Our client was so happy they left us a five star Google review:
I would recommend Acrow to anyone thinking about building a granny flat. We found the company to be professional and very competitive in the growing market of granny flat builders. We made some alterations to our initial plan and were impressed with Acrow’s advice and preparedness to accommodate these changes.

Hunter Valley Granny Flat Case Study
This recently completed Granny Flat in Aberdare features two bedrooms, both with built-in robes to maximise room space. It boasts a generous sized bathroom and laundry and has an open plan living and dining area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The client chose to upgrade the kitchen appliances and opted for carpet in the bedrooms in lieu of timber laminate, adding to the feeling of luxury in the new home. The client built this granny flat with the intention of having family members move in, selecting one of our most popular designs The Prime.
The Prime is one of Acrow’s many affordable, modern two bedroom granny flat designs that includes top-quality inclusions and fittings. Constructed on a generous corner block, this granny flat is easily accessible, and ready for our clients family to enjoy the Hunter lifestyle.
We had to pier a little deeper than usual during construction of the granny flat, due to the soil on the block. There were no further construction issues from here, the builder and client were able to form a trusting relationship, and the granny flat was completed to schedule.

Hunter Valley Granny Flat Case Study
This recently completed granny flat in Cessnock was chosen by our client from our range of customisable two bedroom granny flat designs. It was built on an existing investment property as an extra source of income. Many clients come to us for their granny flat investment needs because our granny flats offer a great rate of return, and this example was no exception.
A conscious design to choose The Bay Plus granny flat design, which features two bedrooms, each with the essential convenience of built-in robes. It includes a separate laundry and a spacious bathroom with fittings upgraded at the request of the client, adding to the modern and luxurious feel Acrow granny flats are known for. The real heart of this design lies in the spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area which allows the tenants freedom in how they choose to entertain guests or enjoy free time. The Bay Plus design includes a breakfast bar which allows extra seating options and a casual place to spend time chatting in the kitchen.
Personalised touches were added at the colour selection stage. This granny flat kitchen features a pink tile splashback with attractive gold tapware and handles to compliment the white undermount sink. Outdoor entertaining is a breeze with the client opting to extend the porch to accommodate guests. As a final compliment to this beautiful design, this granny flat was given a bold exterior with a feature front door.
The only building complications were the requirement for additional piering depth and no room for spoil. Both obstacles were easily overcome by the construction team and the job was completed ahead of schedule.

Newcastle Granny Flat Case Study
This granny flat completed in Stockton in 2023 was customised by the client from The Pavillion, one of Acrow’s stylish and modern two bedroom granny flat designs. This style of granny flat suited our client due to the narrow space available on his block, a perfect design for yards with limited space. This clever design maximises privacy for the new occupants by placing the bedrooms at opposite ends, with a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area in between. This space creates endless options for cooking, entertaining and relaxing. Bedrooms both include built-in robes.
The client loved watching the granny flat come to life and had only good things to say about the project manger and builders once the project once complete. Our client was delighted with all our basic inclusions, noting that nothing needed upgrading, and kept his budget intact. When it came to colour selections, we were going for a ‘boat shed vibe’. While clients can come into the head office or granny flat displays to do colour selections in person, this client chose to complete them simply via email. The requested ‘vibe’ was achieved, again with no upgrades required, including the showpiece blue cladding.
Even with a flood affected site there were no difficulties with construction and this beautiful Stockton granny flat was completed within 12 weeks.
Acrow Newcastle Granny Flat Review
Here is the five star feedback this client left on Google for our work on this Newcastle granny flat:
“After sifting through nearly 20 granny flat builders, Acrow was my only logical choice. For pricing, service and quality of finished product they are 10/10. From the salesman Mick, Dario my builder, all the support staff in Hd office, right down to all the sub-contractors, made this build a really great experience, add to that a 12 week build time, and i certainly wont be going anywhere else for the next one. Well done Acrow”
A thoughtful design and an emphasis on privacy and character, this granny flat is a perfect investment or home for the family.
