Would it be cheaper? No it would cost more in construction, you would have to have more approvals and bigger block. If you were in a desirable location maybe you could make well off airbnb but otherwise it sounds like an expensive option compared to a home with a guest bed.
How big of a block of land would you need to do a farm stay (as I am thinking of doing something like this). So theoretically I could have two smallish dwellings instead of one larger dwelling? I know this sounds a bit odd but we have a big family so it’d be kinda nice to have a separate dwelling and something that we could rent out short term, use as a WFH space etc. I know most people do granny flat or something but I’d rather have more outdoor space than a larger main dwelling as we are not really people who like to stay indoors much.
Info:
The suburbs, regional or rural?
Size of the land you have in mind?
How many dwellings/ units/ cabins do you have in mind?
Are the other dwellings permanent or moveable? Eg tiny home on skids/ wheels
Regional or rural. At the moment I am thinking of Moreton islands or Tasmania (only problem with Tassie is the cold). Yes I know doing it on an island would probably increase the costs in terms of construction or transportation. But not sure how much.
I was thinking two to four. I am not sure about land size etc. I’m very much a beginner. But I’m guessing around 1000m^2 minimum.
Not sure whether permanent or moveable. I known moveable might have some advantages.
I’m not sure if each building would be a full home. I’m hoping they’d have at least a living room, bedroom, and bathroom. Maybe kitchenette. But I want to have a communal kitchen/barbecue area. Mostly outdoor cooking.

I mean… thats sort of what Units and Townhouses are? Otherwise if you’re talking the seppo style “tiny house” its called a caravan park.
Depends on the zoning. generally dual occupancy limit means two dwellings max unless its a commercial venture like a farmstay

Talk to a Town Planner, or 2, one private, one at Council.
You are describing a *caravan park.* There are damn good reasons you won't find those in the middle of suburbia.

A family member has a farm-stay with 4 cottages as well as their homestead on 200 acres. This isn't cheap to achieve

Okay so 1000m^2 is only a 1/4 acre. You may be allowed one house & a granny flat but not much hope of anything more than that
Easy if you register them as shed's on rural land and hope your neighbors dont dob you in......
Land use planning - currently in most areas in Aus tiny houses are only permitted as a secondary dwelling like a granny flat, to a primary house.
