Ex Neighbours star Blair McDonough is selling his luxury Byron Bay home.


Former Neighbours star Blair McDonough and his wife Kristi Townley have listed their Suffolk Park beach house just outside of Byron Bay.

The Melbourne couple bought it in 2016, when they paid $940,000 for a two-bedroom cottage, which they have since transformed into a luxury entertainer.

The Clifford St home has been extended, with three bedrooms in the main house and another bedroom in a granny flat.

The home is wrapped in decking that overlooks the pool, complete with a swim gym, a propeller-generated current for swim exercises.

These days McDonough calls himself a “DIY and building enthusiast” on Instagram. He installed the basketball hoop above the garage.

There are 31 houses for sale in Suffolk Park on realestate.com.au, with six priced higher than the McDonough house. PropTrack calculates the median house price as $1.95m which is down 8.5 per cent over the past year after 18 sales.

The 43-year-old McDonough rose to fame on the first season of Big Brother in 2001, when he was 19, maintaining friendships with other housemates including Sara-Marie Fedele and the season winner Ben Williams.

Great Byron lifestyle.


The home has four bedrooms.
