Why Families Choose Our Timber Cubby Houses
Features & Design Details
Every Hide & Seek Kids cubby house includes thoughtful features designed for safety, durability, and play value. Timber construction with prefabricated panels makes assembly more straightforward, while smooth-sanded edges ensure child-safe surfaces. Multiple windows and door openings create bright, airy interiors perfect for pretend play scenarios.
Many models feature verandas or decking areas, extending the play space and creating spots for outdoor furniture or play kitchens. Elevated designs include access ladders and often incorporate slides for exciting exits. Interior spaces provide room for small furniture, creating realistic house-play environments.
Important: All timber cubby houses are supplied in raw timber with temporary water-based stain and require painting for outdoor durability. Visit our Painting & Maintenance Guide for detailed instructions and exclusive Dulux trade discount information.
Customise Your Cubby House
Extend your cubby house with our range of compatible add-ons and accessories. Add slides for active play, swings for additional entertainment, or pergolas for shaded outdoor spaces. Decorative touches like flower boxes, mailboxes, and window shutters personalise your playhouse to match your child's personality and your backyard aesthetic.
Many families combine cubby houses with mud kitchens to create complete outdoor play zones, or add climbing walls and monkey bars for comprehensive backyard play systems. The modular design of our cubby houses allows for future expansion as your family's needs grow.
Perfect for Australian Backyards
Our timber playhouses are designed for Australian outdoor living, with considerations for local climate conditions when properly maintained. From compact designs suited to inner-city courtyards to expansive multi-level structures for acreage properties, we offer cubby houses to suit every backyard size and layout.
Elevated designs are particularly popular in Australian yards, creating covered play areas underneath perfect for sandpits or shaded retreats during hot weather. The timber construction blends naturally with garden settings, while the variety of roof styles and design details complement different architectural preferences.
Assembly & Maintenance
Our kids cubby houses arrive with prefabricated panels, detailed assembly manuals, and all necessary hardware. While assembly requires time and basic tools, the prefabricated design simplifies the process compared to building from scratch. Many families enjoy the assembly as a project, though professional assembly services may be available in your area.
Once assembled and painted with quality exterior products, your timber cubby house will provide years of outdoor play with regular maintenance. Periodic inspection of hardware, touch-up painting, and basic cleaning keep playhouses safe and attractive. The solid timber construction means repairs are straightforward if needed.
Play Ideas for Cubby Houses
Cubby houses support endless play possibilities. Children create homes for dolls and toys, establish shops and cafes, set up art studios, or transform spaces into secret hideouts and forts. Tea parties, reading nooks, and quiet retreats give children ownership over their own special space.
As seasons change, cubby houses adapt to different play themes. Summer brings outdoor camping adventures and lemonade stands, while cooler months see cosy indoor play with blankets and cushions. The enclosed space provides a sense of security and independence, supporting confident, self-directed play.
Complete Your Backyard Play Space
