Häuslein Tiny House Co

What Häuslein Tiny House Co does

Häuslein Tiny House Co, legally Häuslein Pty Ltd, is an Australian privately held manufacturer of towable tiny houses on wheels founded in 2018 and headquartered with its single manufacturing workshop at Herons Creek, NSW. The company designs and builds a portfolio of VSB1-compliant tiny houses (Chipper, Gunyah, Eire, Luna, Settler, GrandHaus, plus the Sojourner and Grand Sojourner family lines and the Little Sojourner heritage model), the Häuslein Hauler toy hauler caravan, and standalone DIY Tiny House Trailers, with start prices ranging from approximately $10,010 (trailers) to $179,025 (GrandHaus). All builds are produced in-house by master craftsmen using solid timbers, plywood, Colorbond cladding, steel frames, Al-Ko axles, and premium fixtures including Fisher & Paykel appliances, with optional off-grid capability via solar, composting or incinerator toilets, and water systems. Häuslein operates a direct-to-consumer model with Australia-wide delivery from Herons Creek, supported by website quote requests, workshop tours, try-before-you-buy stays, and appearances at tiny house events across the country.

The business model combines one-time hardware sales of bespoke units (with a non-refundable $5,000 holding deposit and 6-12 month build queues) alongside ancillary revenue from trailer-only sales, delivery and installation services at roughly $3.98 per kilometre, third-party financing referrals, and accommodation bookings. Customer segments span individual homeowners, property owners seeking granny-flat alternatives, hospitality operators running Airbnb rentals, and outdoor adventurers purchasing the Häuslein Hauler. Following a COVID-19 demand surge in 2020 that maxed out build schedules, the company ceased tiny house manufacturing in 2024 and now operates in a limited capacity focused on trailers, stay bookings in existing models, and customer support. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding or parent entity.

• Sekisui House Australia: Major Australian modular and prefabricated housing provider with much greater scale and capital base; comparable to Häuslein on factory-built/relocatable housing positioning but operating as a broad incumbent rather than a tiny-house specialist.
