Teenage Retreats: The Smart Solution for the "Boomerang Generation"
As families in New South Wales grapple with the rising cost of living, the dynamic of the Australian household is shifting. With nearly 50% of young adults aged 18-29 now living with their parents (source: HILDA Survey) and Sydney unit rentals often exceeding $700 per week, the need for space has never been greater. A portable teenage retreat offers the perfect middle ground: independence for them, and peace of mind (and extra space) for you.

Why Young Adults Are Staying Home Longer
If your adult children are still living at home, you represent a growing majority. According to recent data from the HILDA Survey, nearly 50% of young adults aged 18-29 are currently living with their parents. This is the highest rate on record, driven largely by a rental market that has become increasingly inaccessible.
With median unit rents in Sydney often exceeding $700 per week, the "first apartment" dream is being delayed. But staying in a childhood bedroom can feel stifling for a 20-something and crowded for the parents.
A "First Apartment" in Your Backyard
Wheely Cabins provides a practical solution to the space squeeze. By installing a portable cabin in your backyard, you effectively add a self-contained apartment to your property without the trauma of a renovation or the permanence of a build.
- Financial Freedom: They can save for a house deposit instead of paying off someone else's mortgage.
- Privacy for Everyone: They get their own entry, own bathroom, and own personal space. You get your living room back.
- Flexible Terms: When they finally do fly the nest, the cabin can be removed, leaving your backyard exactly as it was.
Designed for Modern Living
Our cabins aren't just spare rooms; they are high-quality living spaces. Features that appeal to the modern young adult include:
- Connectivity: Ready for power and internet connection so they can study or work from home.
- Comfort: Reverse cycle air-conditioning for year-round climate control.
- Independence: Kitchenette facilities allow for late-night snacks without waking the household.
