At Acrow Investments, we love it when a plan comes together, so we’re thrilled to announce the success of one of our latest projects: a sun-filled granny flat in the suburb of Sunshine. How is that for an appropriate name? Even better is the broader setting of Lake Macquarie, one of NSW’s most promising lifestyle and real estate investment centres.

- Result: A light and airy living quarters that easily matches the standard of the main house.
- Project cost: $155,000.00 including CDC approval and construction fees.
- Build duration: 15 weeks.
- Return on investment: Forging closer connections with family members, as well as a considerable increase in the property’s overall value.
The location
Sunshine certainly lives up to its name! A hidden gem just an hour south of Newcastle, the area is just minutes from the Trinity Point Marina and offers some wonderful water views.
Popular with established families and retirees, the area is simply a gorgeous natural setting. If you’re wanting to get back to nature, you can’t go past Sunshine: a place known as much for its greenery as for the neighbourly spirit among the 450-odd residents.
The project
Built for our client’s extended family, the granny flat’s design is perfect for low-maintenance living and hosting those drop-in visitors from across the backyard … young or old! The bright, spacious open-plan living and kitchen area flows seamlessly into two functional bedrooms, prioritising family space and a modern look and feel.
Timber laminate flooring, stone benchtops, poly kitchen cabinetry and split-system reverse-cycle air-conditioning complete the project. It all goes towards ensuring our client’s family is kept comfortable.
The numbers
The project itself costed out to $155,000.00 including CDC approval and construction fees. Built in just 15 weeks, the client was able to bring in the family in next to no time.

A new standard: modern granny flat in Blackwall by Acrow Investments
At Acrow Investments, we’re proud to unveil one of our latest projects: a super-modern granny flat in Blackwall, on the NSW Central Coast – all designed and executed with a contemporary flair. Located in close proximity to the gentle and photogenic Brisbane Water, this property already had a lot going for it. So, what better way to make a good thing better than expanding its potential with a stunning and new granny flat?
What are the council requirements for Duplexes in NSW?
A duplex is essentially two homes built on the same block of land and which share a common central wall, also known as a dual occupancy. These homes can either share one land title and owner, or can be subdivided into separate titles so they can be owned and sold separately.
Investment opportunity doubled in revitalised Wallsend
The property is located in the well-established Newcastle suburb of Wallsend. Fair to say, our team at Acrow Investments quickly saw how the client could increase their rental revenue with modest financial investment. We were pleased to bring this project to fruition.
