NSW Container Delivery
We guarantee delivery no matter the location in NSW!
This is a new 40ft high cube container home that gives you a real living space inside a robust, shipping container.
It suits a range of uses — a self-contained granny flat, weekend accommodation on acreage, or an off-grid cabin. Natural light is sorted with two large double-glazed front windows, two panorama rear windows and a panorama window above the toilet, and there’s an external storage space.
A couple of things to know before you commit. The unit comes wired but not connected — switches, lights and sockets are fitted, but a licensed electrician must check and connect everything to AS/NZS 3000 before use. Installation, air-conditioning and a hot-water system are not included. Payment is required in full prior to delivery, and any quote we give you is valid for 7 days or until sold.
Hunter Containers has been doing this for over 30 years and we’re 100% Australian owned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval for a container home in NSW?

Is the price including GST?
It displays at $36,300 inc. GST (quoted as $33,000 + GST). Transport is quoted separately on top.
