Our designs are built on simple, elegant concepts—crafted with care, finished to a high standard, and created with sustainability at their core.

Rather than traditional materials like plasterboard, we use innovative, environmentally friendly alternatives. For example, our internal wall linings are made from a composite of carbon and bamboo—offering a more sustainable and durable solution.

All Habitu homes come standard with double-glazed windows and high-performance insulation. With 150mm thick walls, each space is designed to retain warmth in winter and stay cool in the heat of summer—providing year-round comfort.

Investment & Finance Options

Not everyone is just looking for extra space. Many of our clients are exploring ways to generate additional income through short-term rental opportunities—and Habitu offers smart, flexible solutions to suit a wide range of investment goals.

We currently offer several options that require little or no upfront payment, and all are designed to be simple, low-risk, and profitable. Take a look at the options below and reach out to discuss what suits your situation best.

If you’re simply after an extra monthly income, this is the easiest way to get started.

  • We install a Habitu home on your property (subject to council and building approvals).
  • We manage the rental of the home—usually in minimum 3-month short-term rentals.
  • You receive either: a monthly commission on rental income, or a fixed monthly lease payment for the use of your land.
  • At the end of the agreed term (minimum 12 months), you have the option to:
  1. renew the agreement;
  2. end the contract (we’ll remove the home and return your property to its original state)
  3. Purchase the home at an agreed price
  4. Enter a lease-to-own arrangement

This is ideal if you want to eventually own the home but start with a smaller commitment.

  • Pay a 10% deposit on the home and installation costs.
  • We rent the home on your behalf and you earn the income, minus agreed repayments.
  • You choose the repayment term—typically between 7 and 15 years.
  • At the end of the term, the home is fully yours.

If you’re ready to own your Habitu from day one.

  • Purchase outright and use it however you like.
  • Need finance? We offer competitive loan options over 7 to 25 years – Just a 10% deposit is required.
  • Even if you’re not refinancing or have limited equity, our finance partners are often able to assist—provided you’re employed and have a standard credit profile.
