Maybe your nieces and nephews got you onto it, or the other kids in your life. Perhaps you just like all-ages-friendly animation, especially when it's an Australian series about a family of blue heelers.
Or, you might've become a convert at one of the hugely popular Bluey live gigs that've been touring the country. Whichever fits, and whether you're a big Bluey fan even without kids in tow or you've always wondered why adults love it as well, Airbnb is bringing the homegrown show to life.
As the accommodation platform has done with other pop culture favourites overseas β such as Carrie's Sex and the City apartment and the house from Home Alone β it's putting a replica of the Bluey house in Brisbane up for rent. Two adults and two kids will be able to spend two nights in a home that recreates the Heeler family's abode β but IRL rather than in cute pixels, obviously. Given that the show was created in Queensland, is produced in Queensland and uses Brisbane as inspiration for its on-screen setting, there was clearly only one city that could host this screen-to-reality experience.
The Bluey house marks the first-ever Australian location in Airbnb's Only On Airbnb program β aka the part of the platform that lists all those pop culture-themed spots and offers up the type of experiences that money couldn't buy elsewhere. So this time, Aussies don't need to feel envious of their overseas pals. You do have to be ready to spend a couple days immersed in all things Bluey , though. That, and all the work that's been done to make the house look like where Bluey 's eponymous six-year-old dog, mum Chilli, dad Bandit and little sister Bingo live.
Those decorating touches include the red letterbox, bone-shaped chimney and recognisable bay window, plus other design features β and toys, of course β inside in the rooms and outside in the backyard for kids. You'll also need to have a verified Airbnb profile, a history of positive reviews and be aged over Also, no pets are allowed, even while you're celebrating cartoon canines.
