The Block has set up in the popular tree-change town of Daylesford for its 21st season, with contestants taking on five brand new homes in the town’s new Middleton Field housing estate.
The Blockheads have their work cut out for them, with each of the five homes seeking at least four times the town’s median house price.
And with each house having the exact same floor plan – it will be up to the contestants to make their home stand apart come auction day.

Week 3: Han and Can’s winning main bathroom reveal
A see though bath was deemed a success by the judges, with Marty likening the overall space to a Daylesford day spa.

“It has that day spa feel with the candles, the bath, the softer tones. It's this balance of just punch in the face, but then this really beautiful calmness throughout,” he said.
“It's a punch in the face with a velvet glove,” Darren added.

The room’s modern country look drew high praise from Shaynna.
“The curves that we've got in the terracotta and salmon is like undulating hills,” she said.
“And then, we have that beautiful pastel Aboriginal artwork, which is the same running theme of modern country, even though you've got thousands of years of tradition in there.”

The second kids’ room was also an instant hit.
“They really have class. And we've got two police officers up in the dusty bowl of Northam, Western Australia. And look at this. It's beautiful,” Shaynna said.

Britt’s styling and attention to detail was applauded, with Marty describing the room as “extremely luxurious”.
“It'll shoot beautifully. I truly believe that this has been hit out of the ballpark,” he said.
“This is by far my most favourite room of the day, and we've got another two houses to see. I think this one's hard to beat.”
Score: 28
Week 1: Robby and Mat’s winning bathroom reveal
Winning the week by one point, Darren dubbed the space “the Goldilocks’ room”.
“This is everything we've seen work in other rooms, working extremely well all together. I think the boys have got a really sweet spot,” he said.

The tile layout, and lines were perfect, Darren said.
“This is absolutely the right direction. This is showing that they have an eye for detail and finesse, and they really have a sense of style that I think is really going to fit this house and this market,” he said.
