Willow Grove Homes & Granny Flats
The People Powering
For over 60 years, we have been a trusted, family-owned builder known for quality craftsmanship, integrity and genuine care. Founded by John Drake, the business was built on strong family values and a belief that every home should provide comfort, independence and peace of mind.
Today, John’s daughter Farah, a registered builder, proudly continues that legacy — blending modern design innovation with the same hands-on care that has defined Willow Grove for decades. Together, they lead a dedicated team who share one mission: to create beautiful, practical homes that bring families closer together and stand the test of time.

Our Story, Our Vision
For over 60 years, we have been a trusted family-owned builder, dedicated to creating homes that bring families closer together. We understand that a home is more than four walls; it’s independence, connection and security for the people you care about the most.
Guided by our philosophy, “We know how important your home is to you,” we take a personalised approach to every project. Whether you’re downsizing, supporting ageing parents or creating extra space for growing families, we design and build with care, precision and genuine understanding.
As specialists in granny flats and small second dwellings, we offer a wide range of modern floorplans, from compact studios to spacious 3-bedroom homes. Each one is thoughtfully crafted to maximise comfort, functionality and lifestyle.
Perfect for retirees, multi-generational living or investment opportunities, our homes all featuring light-filled open plan living, quality finishes and customisable options. At Willow Grove Homes and Granny Flats, we are in the business of future-proofing your home and building for your future.
