Maison Clair De Lune
Transform your backyard with Maison Clair De Lune’s premium children’s play houses. Shop luxury, weather-resistant wooden cubby houses designed for the modern Australian landscape.
At Maison Clair De Lune, we know that the classic backyard cubby house is a cherished cornerstone of an Australian childhood. However, for the design-conscious parent, finding an outdoor playhouse that doesn’t compromise the aesthetic of a meticulously landscaped garden can be a daunting task. The era of sun-faded, brittle plastic structures dominating your lawn is over. Our premium collection of designer cubby houses and playhouses reimagines outdoor play, offering architecturally inspired, heirloom-quality structures that look like a seamless, miniature extension of your own luxury home.
Whether your home boasts a breezy coastal Hamptons facade, a sleek contemporary minimalist design, or the classic charm of a heritage terrace, our playhouses are crafted to complement your property’s unique architecture. By utilizing beautiful natural timbers, elegant pitched roofs, and sophisticated, neutral colour palettes, a Maison Clair De Lune cubby house acts as a stunning focal point in your garden. It is a dedicated sanctuary where your children can immerse themselves in unplugged, imaginative play, while you enjoy a backyard that remains visually calm and beautifully curated.
The harsh Australian climate demands exterior furniture of the highest calibre. Our luxury playhouses are engineered to withstand intense summer sun, coastal salt air, and heavy winter downpours without losing their structural integrity or designer appeal.
A premium playhouse is more than just a structure; it is a cafe, a secret reading nook, a neighborhood shop, and a quiet retreat. By providing a beautiful, dedicated space outside the main house, you foster deep, independent role-play and encourage your children to spend more time breathing fresh air. Many of our designs feature wide servery windows, integrated planter boxes, and charming front verandas, offering endless opportunities for sensory play and garden exploration.
Do I need council approval to install a cubby house in my backyard?
In most Australian municipalities, our luxury playhouses are classified as temporary, non-habitable play structures and fall well below the size restrictions that require formal council approval. However, local regulations can vary depending on your specific zoning and the proximity to boundary fences. We always recommend briefly checking with your local council guidelines before installation for complete peace of mind.
Does the playhouse need to be installed on a concrete slab?
While a concrete slab is not strictly necessary, a flat, stable, and well-draining foundation is essential to preserve the structural integrity and longevity of your timber playhouse. We highly recommend installing the cubby on a leveled surface of compacted crushed rock, treated timber decking, or concrete pavers. Installing directly onto wet grass or soil can accelerate timber weathering and is not advised.
Do your cubby houses come pre-painted?
Our collection offers a variety of finishes to suit your landscaping vision. Many of our premium designs arrive fully sealed in a beautiful, natural timber oil or pre-painted in a sophisticated, neutral palette (such as crisp white or soft charcoal). We also offer select models in raw, treated timber, providing a pristine canvas for you to custom-paint the playhouse to perfectly match the exterior trims of your own home.
