About Petite Cottages

At Petite Cottages, we craft elegant and practical secondary dwellings tailored to Southern Highlands living. Whether you’re planning a guest retreat, independent living for family, or a stylish rental opportunity, our thoughtfully designed granny flats blend lasting appeal with everyday functionality.

Our handpicked range of plans — each customisable to suit your needs — is backed by local experience and a streamlined building process, delivering quality outcomes across Bowral, Moss Vale, Mittagong, Bundanoon, and beyond.
