The iconic Queenslander-style home in Aussie hit TV show Bluey has been brought to life in Brisbane by Airbnb and BBC to create one of the world’s most unusual homestays.
Bluey, created by Joe Brumm and made entirely in Brisbane, now screens in over 60 countries, globally distributed by BBC – propelling the inner city Queensland way of life across the planet.
Airbnb and BBC Studios had a Heeler family home “entirely customised to bring the cartoon experience to life”, adding quirky details Bluey fans would recognise from the show including a red letterbox, bone-shaped chimney, and a standout bay window.

“Inside, the interior has been re-imagined with a breezy mid-century aesthetic coupled with playful pops of colour. The girls’ playroom with its signature rainbow canopy, kiwi rug and numerous toys – including Bluey’s beloved Chattermax toy and magic xylophone – is the ultimate setting for creative play and make believe”.
For the kids sleeping over, Bluey and Bingo’s real life bedroom has two single beds fitted with a custom stained-glass window feature, colourful hanging lanterns, cloud cushions, right down to a handcrafted watermelon rug seen on the show.

The master bedroom mirrors Bandit and Chilli’s plant-filled retreat on the show with a queen-sized bed, rattan furnishings and neutral hues.
“The backyard is a verdant oasis for family games – like Horsey Ride and Keepy Uppy – with a BBQ, kiddie-sized trampoline, Grannies’ car, custom toadstool seats and bespoke dog garden gnomes. Yummy snacks can be found in the fully stocked fridge, including Bandit’s famous duck cake,” the Bluey statement said.

The homestay weekend includes a behind the scenes tour of Ludo Studio where Bluey is created, a Chinese takeaway feast in the home’s backyard, an afternoon decorating the Heeler’s famous duck cake, and a puppet making craft session featuring the Bob Bilby character from the show.
Among Bluey’s house rules for the homestay was a ban on pets, “especially emus named Shaun”, and a negative Covid-19 test result 72 hours before check in.

The Heeler family home listing on Airbnb in Brisbane, Queensland, is available for one weekend only – a two-night stay from Friday, February 18, to Sunday, February 20. The price is firm – $20 plus taxes and fees – or as Bluey says, 10 dollarbucks a night.
Airbnb Australia and New Zealand country manager Susan Wheeldon said “we’re delighted to add Bluey, Bingo, Chilli and Bandit to our growing community of Airbnb hosts. And while we have some incredible homes on Airbnb, there will be nothing quite like waking up in the Heeler house and getting to live and breathe in Bluey’s magical world for one wondrous weekend”.

BBC Studios Bluey senior marketing manager Madeleine Jelfs said the Heeler house was “almost a character in its own right”.
“We’ve been amazed at the outpouring of love the fans have shown for this iconic setting, and for all the beautiful Queensland locations the crew have so lovingly included across the three series. Bringing Bluey’s backdrop to life in such an ingenious and colourful way for our fans has been an absolute delight.”
