What Are Minor Dwellings?
Minor dwellings, often referred to as granny flats or secondary units, are smaller, self-contained living spaces that are typically constructed on your existing property. They can be attached to your main home or built as a separate, standalone unit. Designed to offer convenience, flexibility, and added value, these compact dwellings generally span around 65m² and typically feature:
- Two bedrooms
- A bathroom
- An open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area
By leveraging your existing space, a minor dwelling can serve as an ideal solution for a variety of lifestyle and investment needs, providing unmatched versatility for your property.

Why Invest in a Minor Dwelling?
Adding a minor dwelling to your Auckland property offers numerous benefits, from financial gains to lifestyle improvements. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Independent Living Space for Family Members
Creating a minor dwelling is a thoughtful way to support your adult children as they transition into independent living. Offering a private, comfortable space while remaining close to home can foster independence without sacrificing family connection. It’s also a great option for aging parents who want to retain their privacy but benefit from proximity to loved ones.
2. Boost Your Income with Long-Term Rentals
Transform your existing property into a source of passive income by renting out a minor dwelling. The high demand for rental properties in Auckland makes this a lucrative opportunity, providing consistent cash flow and making the most of your available land.
3. Generate Short-Term Income with Airbnb Rentals
If you prefer flexibility, consider using your minor dwelling as an Airbnb rental. Auckland attracts visitors year-round, from tourists exploring the city to professionals in need of temporary accommodation. Short-term rentals can yield high returns while giving you the option to use the space when needed.
4. Increase Your Home’s Value
Adding a minor dwelling can significantly enhance your property’s value, making it more attractive to future buyers. Buyers appreciate properties that offer income potential or flexible living options, giving you a competitive edge in Auckland’s real estate market.
