The biggest houses in The Block‘s history mean a lot of land, a lot of rooms, and most of all, a whole lot of decor.
When you buy a Block house, you’re getting a turnkey property that includes all the furniture, decor, and extra bits and bobs you might not catch in the room reveals. This year, the quest to create the most luxurious country home has seen everything from custom ice baths to luxury skincare.
Here are some of the things you’ll get with each of the houses:
If you wondered what House 1’s main bedroom suite smells like, it smells like luxury. Or, more specifically, like Diptyque’s Figuier candle. The Chanel bags of the candle world, Diptyque candles retail at a steep $137.95 a candle.
What do you fill a luxury wardrobe with, on a Block budget? In House 1’s walk-in-robe you’ll find a snazzy little Tommy Hilfiger watch that you’ll come back to, time and time again. Time is money, and Tom and Sarah-Jane know it.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and at the heart of House 1’s kitchen is this KitchenAid Stand Mixer in the pistachio colourway. Mixing up fresh cookie dough while staring out at that view might just be a dream come true.
The Gisborne lifestyle might be absolutely dream-like, but when you want to reconnect with the real world, Tom and Sarah-Jane have got you covered with a handy ASUS detachable Chromebook in their work-from-home space.
Nothing says smart-casual like a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt. Rachel and Ryan have included a forest green one in their walk-in-robe for that winery trip, nice lunch, or trip into town. Not too shabby.
Did you spot this duck decanter on House 2’s kitchen bench? With a decanter like this and a vineyard out back, House 2’s dinner parties are sure to be the toast of the town.
There’s no better spot to enjoy the beautiful Macedon Ranges view than outside on this web swing nest. It may be for kids, but you’ll never want to get off.
House 2’s outdoor entertaining areas do not disappoint. When you can peel the kids (or yourself!) away from the swing, this cast iron fire pit is perfect for chilly nights and toasting some marshmallows. Sounds like the perfect evening to us!
You can’t call yourself a wine connoisseur without this sommelier drawer in House 3. It’s the only sommelier drawer on this season of The Block, and comes with a wine thermometer, a wine pump, pliers, and an assortment of corks.
Just because it’s luxurious, doesn’t mean it can’t also be multipurpose. The custom-made, Victorian arch mirror in House 3’s master bedroom also happens to be a TV. Pass the remote!
The centrepieces of House 3’s living, dining, and kitchen area are their huge antler chandeliers. Cruelty-free and crafted from environmentally-friendly resin, this chandelier is sure to make an impression on anyone who walks through your doors.
Sticking to the animal theme, these two puma table lamps add a touch of Sharon and Ankur’s signature glam style to the hallway. Even though Shaynna didn’t like them, they sure can light up a room.
Nothing says walk-in-robe styling like a good handbag. House 4 have included this Michael Kors tote bag to appeal to the bag lovers of the bunch. Not bad for wardrobe styling!
Nothing says outdoor entertaining like a pizza oven. Introducing the Polito Donatello II, a stylish but traditional wood fire oven. We’ll take a slice of that.
House 4’s kitchen crockery comes complete with these amber champagne flutes. For the lucky new owner to toast their new home, of course.
Ice, ice, baby! House 4’s owners are about to be the most relaxed, recovered, and rejuvenated people in Gisborne, with their very own custom ice bath. Now that’s what we call backyard luxury.
The now-infamous baby grand piano in House 5’s living room may have caused controversy at the time, but it’s sure to be nothing but music to your ears for years to come.
Right at home with the fancy toilet-paper folds, House 5’s main bedroom en suite includes the most luxurious of moisturisers, Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Cream. Retailing for upwards of $100, this small tub is sure to attract skincare aficionados from far and wide. They’re not called the Bathroom Kings for nothing.
House 5’s walk-in-robe comes with a classy Zara briefcase … and just about everything else from the store. Yep, their entire walk-in-robe is fitted out with Zara clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Another house jumping on the animal theme, Omar and Oz purchased not one, not two, but four of these rhino bookends to style the shelves throughout House 5. You might have to take a virtual tour to see if you can spot them all.
