Southon Tiny Homes

Southon Tiny Homes builds high-quality tiny homes and small dwellings from our Bairnsdale workshop, backed by decades of hands-on building experience.

Owned and run by second-generation builder Simon Southon, and designed in collaboration with Distilled Design, our tiny homes combine practical construction, intelligent layouts and a calm, considered aesthetic.

Whether you’re planning a full-time home, an Airbnb, or a secondary dwelling, we’ll help you find the right solution β€” without over-complication.

What we build

We design and build small, prefabricated homes for a range of uses, including:

  • Full-time living

  • Airbnb and short-stay accommodation

  • Granny flats and secondary dwellings

  • Studios and home offices

  • Weekend or mobile getaways

Homes can be built:

  • On trailers (Tiny Houses on Wheels)

  • On skids or footings for stationary installation

We’ll guide you through what works best for your site, approvals and budget.

Create.  Build.   Innovate.

"Our tiny mobile homes can be styled just how you like, with the inclusion of our upgrade packages."
