The Mannum Waters Project Nominated for Three Awards
HIA 2025 Finalist for:
Unique and Difficult Site Home of the Year
Lightweight Housing Home of the Year
Country Home of the Year
The Mannum Project is a striking representation of the construction style, design and craftsmanship that Kookaburra Homes is recognised for. This modern contemporary riverside pole frame home has been the talk of the marina as its design stands out from the other homes in the estate.
Brad and Maddy started their journey with Kookaburra Homes after seeing several Kookaburra builds throughout Mannum Waters Marina. They knew they wanted to create a modern contemporary home to appeal to a broad range of holidayers in the holiday rental market and started working with Kookaburra Homes to make their dream happen.
Fast forward to 2025, and Brad and Maddy received the keys to their holiday home that will be the place to be for their friends and family for many years to come.
“Kookaburra delivered an extremely high-quality build that exceeded our expectations. Their eye for detail and care for our home was amazing and they went above and beyond to deliver an amazing result.
Throughout the build the communication was great with their supervisor James who was always open to sharing ideas and happy to work with us to achieve our goals.
Dylan and Jake in the sales team were both awesome to work with and remained invested throughout the build. Their ideas and suggestions throughout the design process really helped us achieve our vision and bought our home to life.
Thanks to all the team at Kookaburra,” say the home owners, Brad and Maddy.
Their perfect river holiday home hit all the style features that made up Brad and Maddy’s wish list including:
- Lightweight pole frame construction to be above flood requirements
- Modern contemporary gabled façade to meet their style preference
- Wide entryway that takes in the view from the moment you open the front door
- Space to accommodate plenty of holiday guests by creating ample sized bedrooms to suit multiple bed configurations
- Raking ceiling to the kitchen, living room and balcony to take in the riverfront views and maximise natural light
- Riverside façade compliments the roadside style with a similar gabled feature and abundant windows and sliding doors to showcase the view
- Living room fitted with a gas fireplace to bring a cosy feeling to the space
- Generous 2.5 bathrooms with separate toilets
- A second loungeroom with a kitchenette creating an additional entertaining space
- Undercover parking spaces for four cars
The simple landscaping suits the holiday rental and allows the surroundings to shine.
Brad and Maddy, along with the whole Kookaburra Homes Team, have created a stunning home that expresses the riverside holiday home brief. More importantly, it is a home that our customers are proud of and can share the enjoyment with their holiday home renters.
