Photography: The Block/Channel 9/9 Now
You will soon be able to stay in Britt and Taz’s winning Block home in Daylesford.
The married couple won the 2025 season of The Block, with their home securing an incredible anonymous bid of $3,410,000 and the couple leaving with a $420,000 profit and the $100,000 prize money.
According to the Herald Sun, the anonymous bidder is planning to rent the home out on Airbnb. In conversation with the publication, The Block auctioneer Mark Nunn explained that “they will use it as an Airbnb.”
“So, from the early new year, you will be able to have a weekend up there.”
“And it will be popular too, very popular on the Airbnb market.”
While we don’t know what visitors will have to pay for a stay at the luxe property, similar stays in Daylesfords can set you back more than $2000 for a weekend visit.
When you look back at their beautiful Block home, it’s no wonder the couple had such success. From their luxurious main bedroom to their impressive living and dining and super sweet children’s rooms, it feels like the Western Australian police pair have nailed almost every space.
Take a look through every amazing room from their winning home.

Every room from Britt and Taz’s Block house
Bathroom
Britt and Taz delivered an organic modern bathroom layered with warmth and texture. Shaynna praised the tactile mix: “I love the fluting, I love the texture on the floor… it feels elevated.” Darren was on board with the clever use of Grafico wallpaper, calling it a smart and stylish shortcut: “I’m all for wallpapers, especially if they’re a vinyl paper like this in a bathroom.”
While there were plenty of positives, the layout drew criticism. “It’s a good bathroom but it’s not great,” said Marty. “The shower screen feels miniscule… spatially incorrect.” Shaynna felt the vertical towel rails were impractical, while the cooler-toned nickel tapware didn’t quite align with the warm, rustic feel.
Still, moments like the curved shelf and light timber tones tied it back to the exterior. “That shelf all the way around with the curve is absolutely stunning,” said Shaynna.
Kid’s bedrooms
Britt and Taz’s children’s bedrooms won the week’s room reveals. Their first room was for an older child and featured a statement curved feature wall that represented the rolling hills of Daylesford. The room won all of the judges’ hearts, with even Marty complimenting the couple’s “artistic flair.” Shaynna also said the room achieved the right modern country look that they were looking for.
The judges were even more impressed with the couple’s second kid’s bedroom, which was designed for two younger children and featured gorgeous plaid wallpaper on two of the walls. Darren complimented the couple’s colour palette, describing it as “neutral but interesting.”
The judges also liked the room’s more playful features, such as the mini basketball hoop and bench seat soccer goals, with Marty explaining that it’s “full of whimsy and play, and the mood that you want to set with a kid’s room that doesn’t feel juvenile.” Marty also complimented the couple by comparing their style to Steph and Gian, before stating that it was his favourite room of the day.
Main bathroom
Britt and Taz aimed for a relaxing retreat with distinct zones. “I hope the judges notice the distinct wet and dry areas and the spa vibe we’re going for,” says Britt. Shaynna noted, “There’s a lot to take in here,” while Marty commented, “It certainly feels a lot smaller than the other two because they’ve got nibs on both sides. It’s two rooms.”
Darren appreciated the separation, saying, “This one does feel very definitively like two spaces… but I really like the massive vanity. It’s very peaceful and tranquil.” Shaynna observed, “That’s a lot of real estate for two showers,” while Marty pointed out the absence of a bath, adding, “That space is bigger than this space, and this is where you’re spending the majority of your time.”
Despite the layout, Marty was critical of the styling: “I feel like I’m sitting in an upmarket abattoir… It’s cold, it’s scary. It’s got a bad feeling in here.” Darren, however, praised its calmness: “I love it. All of this works really beautifully.” Shaynna felt the concept was strong but said, “It doesn’t feel high end. I love the concept, but it falls short.”
Main bedroom
Britt and Taz’s use of warm neutrals and plush furnishings helped them win the main bedroom week. As the judges walked in, they described feeling like they “travelled in on a cloud,” with Darren describing the space as “very elegant and sophisticated.”
The judges also complimented the layout, which positioned the bed in the middle of the room with two roomy walkways on either side. While many teams got the size of their main bedroom rugs wrong, Marty noted that Brit and Taz chose “the right rug on the right carpet.” Similarly, their timber bench seat was another good decision with Marty stating, “it’s so Daylesford and makes it feel cosy.”
Britt and Taz, incorporated luxurious Freedom Wardrobes islands into their walk-in-robes, transforming the wardrobe space into fully functional dressing rooms. With crisp white cabinetry, a light-filled dressing table area and a glamorous chandelier, the space oozes elegance. The judges loved the design of their walk-in-robe but pointed out that the drawer handles were the wrong way around.
Living and dining
Featuring a timber paneled ceiling with striking skylights, a cosy stone clad wall, rendered fireplace and built-in-benchseat, Britt and Taz’s living and dining space is what set them apart from the other teams in the competition.
“Look at that ceiling,” says Marty as he walked into the room. Shaynna agreed, stating “this is something that you’d come to Daylesford for, that connects with the landscape. It is so appropriate for this area. I feel like I’m home. It’s quite evangelical.”
While the judges loved the warm neutral palette and clever use of materials, they were more critical of the room’s layout.
“This feels like it’s in the wrong spot,” Marty said of the sofa’s position. “It is about that view, it is about the flow and right now we’ve got the barrier. Change that barrier and this is an amazing lounge room.”
“For me, this would be a 10, out of the park, if they got the furniture placement right,” agreed Shaynna.
Rumpus
For their rumpus room, Britt and Taz made the controversial choice to create a pilates room. Draped with billowy white curtains across the walls and ceiling, the space featured two full-sized reformer machines and a fully stocked drinks fridge. While the execution was undeniably beautiful, the judges weren’t convinced it was the right choice.
“I wasn’t expecting a gym,” Shaynna said as she walked into the room. All three judges agreed that a pilates room was too niche of a choice to sacrifice a second living space for. While the judges may not have loved the decision, only the auctions will tell if the choice paid off.
Kitchen
“This is absolutely breathtaking. The big drama of this timber panel roof,” gushed judge Darren Palmer, as he stepped into Britt and Taz’s kitchen. Marty grounded the praise in practicality: “It plays into the market of Daylesford.” Shaynna summed it up: “It says country, but still elevated.”
The result? A kitchen that feels equal parts grand gesture and heart-of-the-home, perfectly attuned to its regional setting.
Guest suite
Britt and Taz spent the guest suite week painstakingly staining their timber wall panelling – a move that unfortunately didn’t pay off with the judges.
“The wall pannelling is a bit odd,” Marty said as he stepped into the room. “It’s not as polished as the rest of the other rooms.”
Shaynna agreed that the wall pannelling was too rustic for the home, while Darren argued that at least it suits the Daylesford country style.
Butler’s pantry, laundry and garage
Winners of the week Britt and Taz impressed with a clever floorplan that kept their laundry and butler’s pantry separate but perfectly functional. Expansive Freedom Kitchens joinery and a coffee machine surrounded by earthy surfaces wowed the judges. “Look at the use of that Dekton up the wall, it feels expansive and expensive,” said Darren.
Marty called it “classy, sophisticated and timeless”, while a commercial-grade washer and dryer from E&S nailed the practical brief.
Alfresco
Britt and Taz opted for an over-the-top outdoor kitchen that left no space for a lounge area, while their speakeasy-style shed raised eyebrows over compliance. The sheds should be designed for no more than about 40 minutes of use – yet a beautiful bar stocked with liquor could tempt guests to linger for longer.
Backyard and pool
Britt and Taz’s garden was full of great features but the overall effect felt too busy. The arbours particularly, didn’t seem to add anything but visual noise to the garden. While they will look beautiful once the star jasmine grows, the amount of them feels too overwhelming for a calm space.
Front facade
Britt and Taz has had an extremely successful Block season but their lack of plantings let their front yard down this week.
“It looks like an industrial shed and does not match the level of luxury that is sitting behind these walls,” Marty explained.
While Shaynna loved the timber cladding, she also wished there was more foliage to create privacy. Marty went so far as to describe the area as “kitty litter with mulch.”
Despite this, the couple redeemed themselves with a stunning garage door featuring beautiful Indigenous artworks.
