A father has gone above and beyond to build his toddler son the ultimate cubby house - complete with a carport, a Mercedes convertible and an outdoor barbecue.

Dale, from Melbourne, transformed the $199 wooden cubby house he purchased from Kmart into a stunning Hamptons-inspired miniature property so he could surprise his little boy on Christmas Day.

Posting on Facebook, the father wowed other parents after sharing pictures of his spectacular cubby house transformation with the caption: 'Did I go overboard?'

The pictures show the beautiful home with a veranda, a carport with steel roofing, outdoor lighting and a white picket fence.

Dale explained he used Colorbond steel and tinted Laserlite to extend the depth of his son's cubby house by 600mm.

'Extended the depth of my son's cubby using the original roofing panels, made new roof and carport, extended roof line for a veranda,' he said.

From there, he revamped the space to include raised timber floor and Merbau decking, picket fence made from trellis, solar lighting and LED interior lighting.

To ensure the cubby house stays waterproof outside all year round, he painted the exterior in weather shield, 'sprayed with an airless gun'.

He added: 'Ramp and interior fit out in the works.'
