Last week’s Ghostbasket set up a cliffhanger for the ages when it showed a “For Sale” sign outside the Heeler house. In The Sign, it looked like the move would be confirmed… Bandit had a new job, and a slippery real estate agent was selling the house to a couple of near-sighted sheepdogs. The house also boasts a backyard perfect for family games “like Horsey Ride and Keepy Uppy”and comes complete with a BBQ, a childrens’-sized trampoline, “Grannies’ car, custom toadstool seats and bespoke dog garden gnomes”. The family who stays in the Bluey-inspired home can even eat like the animated family, as Airbnb states that snacks including Bandit’s famous duck cake and Magic Asparagus will be stocked in the fridge. "The Sign," which at 28 minutes was about the length of four regular "Bluey" episodes, also had fans worried that the Heeler family's possible move to a new house could have signaled the end of the beloved series after three seasons. Once you reach a certain age, two things become true.

“The Heeler house is almost a character in its own right,” said Madeleine Jelfs, Bluey senior marketing manager, BBC Studios Australia and New Zealand. Brisbane, the city which inspired the show’s colourful animated backdrop, is home to the replica of the Heeler’s home, featuring details such as the red letterbox and Bluey’s toys. Kept ready for a third kid until Bedroom, where it was briefly repurposed as Bluey's bedroom.

If we were real estate agents, we’d be waxing lyrical about those amazing high ceilings, intricate architraves, picture rails and cornicing – ahh, to die for! And don’t even get us STARTED about those gorgeous lead-lights. And we’re not alone – fans of the locally-produced kid’s cartoon frequently take to social media to discuss just how much they’d love to live in Bandit and Chilli’s home. Fans of Bluey can live like the animated Blue Heeler puppy after a real-life version of the TV show character’s house was listed on Airbnb. "Now, that’s what we call a stellar season finale. Also, how dare this show for pre-schoolers make adults get all emotional," Jazz Tangcay, an editor at Variety, posted on social media site X. Both of my kids had different experiences, depending on which characters were near them, which was really cool.
I'm guessing that puts Bluey's house out of most people's price range. The episode title refers to the “For Sale” sign in front of the Heeler home that caused many adult fans to wonder whether the family was on the cusp of a significant move for patriarch Bandit's new job. But as the family is packed up in the car and ready to go, Bandit – realizing that his family's best life took place at that house – rips the sign from the yard before the credits roll. Alongs the lines of what I was saying earlier is we got to work with so many amazing suppliers and I got to work with three fabulous teams across BBC, Airbnb and Ludo studios, and everyone was so accommodating and so lovely. The collaboration across all of the teams working towards this greater goal of bringing this house to the fans, and how much careful time and consideration went into it was wonderful. In my line of work, when something like that cross your path you say “YES!
“[The trees help] give a feel for the seasons – one of my favourite low-key moments of season one is a scene where jacaranda petals slowly fall on the verandah,” Bolling says. It’s the little details that make Bluey so wonderful to watch. Eagle-eyed viewers will be very familiar with the beautiful trees in our Heelers’ yard, which feature in storylines regularly. “We lived in Queensland for a few years before we had kids, and every old weatherboard Queenslander I saw, I fell in love with instantly,” says Boling, a journalist and mum. Forget those stylish terrace houses from Full House – our latest TV house crush is the home owned by a family of Blue Heelers, stars of the hit ABC Kids’ cartoon, Bluey. "The last time he cried was at the birth of our baby," Bailey wrote.

Io9 recently visited the Bluey immersive experience with a good friend and their kids (highly recommend this for fellow childless Bluey fans out there) to explore the incredibly detailed and fun adventure at CAMP. There you’re encouraged to learn through play in every room, just like on the show from Ludo Studio, along with the littles. There’s so many Easter eggs and opportunities to recreate your favorite scenes, from Keepy-Uppy to Dance Mode. And yes, I slipped on my beans as a Grannie because I simply had to.
If asking prices and mortgage interest rates in Australia are anything like the ones here, they'll never be able to find another place this nice. A house in my New Jersey neighborhood with five bedrooms, four baths, a deck, and bifold doors like theirs just got listed for $1.34 million (and will likely sell for 30 to 40 percent over that). We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work. "There are plans for all the materials used to create the Bluey house — including plants, props and toys — to be lovingly rehomed." "I think all of us around here have really enjoyed having the Bluey house next door as a neighbour." The house has proven so popular, security and traffic controllers have been working along the street for the past fortnight.
And then, in the episode’s final minute, the show pulls one of its classic time-jump stunts to give viewers a peek at the characters’ future, and this might be the most consequential one the show has ever had. At the beginning of the episode, Bluey asks Chili what having a baby is like. Later, when Bandit collapses in the kitchen, exasperated from dual-play time, Chili points and says, “That’s what having kids is like! ” At the end, we see Bluey all grown up, popping in to visit Chili and Bandit at the same old house on the hill, although now they have such futuristic technological innovations as … a Roomba.
Fan Brittany Bailey wrote on X that her husband woke her family up to watch the episode, and then "cried his eyes out." And it is that, with it's endless quirky hijinks delighting youngsters of all early ages. But the series produced in Brisbane, Australia, by Ludo Studio has also struck a nerve with parents who find themselves moved – often to tears – by the relatable situations and familial themes that arise in the series. However, the final scene of "The Sign" makes it appear that the Heeler family is staying put – and producers have indicated to multiple news outlets that the adventures of Bluey and her family are far from concluded.
Bluey grappled with her feelings about the move, while Bingo stayed endearingly oblivious. Socks found her voice, while Muffin was… well, Muffin. Together, this plucky troop of flower girls helped save the day. Following months of anticipation, wild conspiracy theories and nail-biting cliffhangers, Bluey’s mammoth 28-minute episode, “The Sign”, landed on screens worldwide.
In the Season 1 episode “Fairies,” we see that the wall parallel to where Bandit and Chilli are sitting in this picture is mostly glass doors with access to the verandah that wraps around three-quarters of the house. Above the doors is a large fossil, which pays tribute to Bandit’s job as an archaeologist. “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. We find ages 3 to 8 really love our immersive shows. But if your kid likes Bluey, they’ll have a great time here, regardless of age.
The most notable feature of the back yard is a large royal poinciana tree with a bench around the base. The back yard also contains a sandbox, shed, trampoline, and tiled patio area, which are rarely shown. The experience, like the show, is designed to be fun for everyone.
Airbnb says booking will open 15 February and it will go to whoever gets in first.

Brace yourself for a weekend of family games and make-believe, because one family living in Australia will be able to book the exclusive two-night stay at the Heeler’s home. The backyard is a verdant oasis for family fun, with a BBQ, kids’-sized trampoline, Grannies’ car, custom toadstool seats and dog garden gnomes (Gerald’s there – but alas, no Hecuba). Yummy snacks can be found in the fully stocked kitchen, including Bandit’s famous duck cake. In an episode full of big life decisions, it was the Heeler girls’ time to shine.
