Douglas & Mackay

The Douglas and the McKay models are premium mobile accommodation units, offering high-end quality at a competitive price. With stylish designs that work beautifully as upmarket Airbnb cabins on scenic properties, they provide an ideal getaway experience. Customisable colour options allow them to blend seamlessly into their surroundings. Versatile and practical, these units are just as suited to rural settings or backyards, making them perfect for accommodating workers or family members.

CUstomised

You're in complete control when it comes to personalising your home. Choose your preferred colours, textures, and optional features, such as a deck, pergola, fireplace, or customised kitchen layout. You can even tailor the size of doors, windows, and bedrooms to suit your unique needs and style.
