Kathy & Chris
“After researching a number of granny flat builders on the Central Coast and Newcastle, Acrow Investments were flexible with our requests and were able to negotiate professionally about inclusions and price. Being from Sydney we wanted the construction process to be quick and easy as we were unable to travel often.”
Jo
“I would highly recommend the Acrow team, who have been professional, easy to deal with and offered help throughout the whole process above and beyond just building a Granny Flat. Thanks to all the team.”
Georges
“Very professional team, delivered on time and on budget, which is a rarity in the building industry. It took approximately 3 months from start to finish to build the granny flat under difficult circumstances. They only use quality appliances and materials. Highly recommended, I will definitely use Acrow again as it is a company you can trust.”

Why invest in the Hunter Valley?
Sydney real estate is expensive. The whole world knows it. The unaffordability of living in the state capital has now brought a decline in the growth of property prices. This, in turn, is triggering increased demand for real estate in regional areas of NSW. These areas offer better value for money, more attractive growth opportunities and are still not too far from Sydney.
For these reasons the Hunter Valley is regarded as a property hotspot. It’s relatively close, it’s naturally beautiful and it is the largest regional contributor to the state’s gross domestic product. In terms of economic output, the Hunter Valley outstrips the GDP of Tasmania, the Northern Territory and even the Australian Capital Territory! This all means it is one of those rare places where lifestyle, jobs and future growth combine.
Currently, the region has an estimated 322,000 jobs and this is projected to increase to 384,000 by 2036. Better still, the NSW Government predicts an additional 70,000 dwellings will be needed in the area to serve that population. It’s the perfect time to extend your living arrangements with a brand-new granny flat.

George contacted Acrow as he wanted to build a small home at the front of his property to rent out or set up as an Airbnb. We worked with George to design his vision of the granny flat including split skillion roof, feature walls, specific appliances from Harvey Norman and a modern bathroom suited to all ages. George is currently renting the property for higher than some of the primary dwellings in the area! It’s amazing what you can create when you have a clear vision and a dedicated team to complete all the fine details from liaising with council to get a fast approval and confirmed time frames for construction.

Build duration: 12 weeks Rental
Return: $400 per week or potentially more as used for Airbnb part-time
