Sydney has one of the most expensive property markets on the planet. For many Sydneysiders, tiny home living isn't just a lifestyle choice — it's a genuinely practical path to homeownership that the traditional market has made impossible.

Ruru Tiny Homes is a Queensland-based builder that delivers premium tiny homes and secondary dwellings to Sydney and the greater NSW region. Whether you're placing a home on a family property in the Blue Mountains, adding a secondary dwelling in the Southern Highlands, or creating an income-generating rental on acreage outside the city — we build homes that are genuinely beautiful, genuinely liveable, and built to last.

NSW has its own regulatory framework for tiny homes on wheels. They are treated as trailers and must be registered with Roads and Maritime Services. For temporary use, a tiny home can be placed on a property for up to 60 days per year without a Development Application. For longer-term or permanent living, the rules depend on your specific council and whether the property has an existing dwelling. We strongly recommend checking with your local council — and Daniel Huelsmeyer, our in-house expert, can help you understand the pathway for your specific property.

Our homes are built in Queensland using Australian-sourced materials by tradespeople paid above living wage. We deliver Australia-wide. Our range starts from $183,000 for the Wren and extends to fully custom Bowerbird designs for those who want something entirely their own. Delivery to Sydney is quoted based on your location.

We're a family business with seven years of experience and hundreds of completed homes behind us. When you enquire with Ruru, Fran personally responds within one business day.
