Thought you’d seen the last of The Block homes in Daylesford? Britt and Taz won the 2025 season, walking away with an astonishing $520,000 in prize money and profit, but after placing an anonymous $3,410,000 bid on the property, it seems the new owners are looking to cash in too. Revealing to the Herald Sun, the new owners are planning to use the winning Block home as an Airbnb from January next year.

“From the early new year, you will be able to have a weekend up there,” says The Block auctioneer Mark Nunn. “It will be popular too.”
