Live like Bluey for a weekend in Qld as Airbnb recreates the iconic Heelers house

The iconic Heeler’s home has been brought to real life in Queensland — and one lucky Australian family will have the chance to book a stay.

One lucky family will get to “live for real life” like Bluey as the iconic Heeler family home from the mega-hit Australian kids’ show is listed on Airbnb.

It’s taken two years for the house – nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brisbane - to be entirely customised to bring the cartoon experience to life, featuring quirky details such as the bone-shaped chimney or Bluey and Bingo’s playroom with its signature rainbow canopy and kiwi rug.

“Like many parents with young children, I’ve been captivated by the adventures of Bluey and her family, which bring so much joy and quintessential Aussie humour to audiences across the

globe,” Airbnb Australia and New Zealand’s 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.”

Ludio Studio producer Sam Moor said it’s been exciting to see the cartoon house come to life.

“There are so many lovely little touches - things like Bluey and Bingo’s special toys,” she said. “It really does feel for real life.

“What we do in the show is we take things from real life and Bluey-ify them. The reverse has now happened - we’ve taken the animated Bluey House and they’ve had to real-life it.”

It’s the first time Only On Airbnb has created an experience in Australia, previously giving guests a chance to sip cosmopolitans in Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment from Sex and the City, retracing Kevin McCallister’s footsteps in the house from Home Alone and to soak up the grandeur of the Italian villa featured in House of Gucci.

A family of four will have the chance to book a once-off, two-night stay from February 18-20 for only $20 “dollarbucks”. Also included in the weekend experience is a behind-the-scenes tour of Ludo Studio, where Bluey is created; A Chinese takeaway feast in the lush backyard (don’t forget the spring rolls!); An afternoon decorating the Heeler’s famous duck cake, and A puppet-making craft session featuring Bluey’s famous Bob Bilby character (a local Aussie marsupial).

For those who miss out on the stay or live outside Australia, an online experience hosted by Bluey composer Jazz D’Arcy — part of the team behind the music in the series — along with Brisbane children’s choreographer, Cherie Lange will recreate some of the most beloved songs and dance moves from the show.

The pair will run the online workshop live from Bluey’s house for 30 families across three sessions in Australian, US and UK time zones.

While at this stage, there are no plans to make it a permanent bookable Airbnb stay, Ms Wheeldon said “never say never”.

Bluey fans can request to book the stay or the online experience on Tuesday, February 15 at 8am (AEDT) at airbnb.com/bluey
