For parents who have somehow been living under a rock for the past several years, Bluey is a super popular and blissfully super not annoying kid’s cartoon that follows a six-year-old dog and her family. A whole lot of adventures happen in her world with a large portion of it happening in the beautiful family home. (And there are some dark theories as to how her parents can afford such a house, too.) The show is wholesome and full of humor. And it’s one of those rare shows that don’t make parents want to rip their ears out. And now the home where all that magic happens has been recreated and turned into a real-life rental. But is it… actually really weird? And a little bit scary to see something that’s 2D and animated be real-D and… real? “On a quiet, leafy street in the heart of Brisbane, something magical has happened… the Heeler home from Bluey’s wonderful world has been recreated – for real life,” a tweet from the official Bluey Twitter account shared. “It’s been building for over a year and it’s unbelievable to see this on @Airbnb today,” tweeted Bluey executive producer Daley Pearson. The home has been recreated with meticulous detail and yes, it is admittedly super adorable. Inside the home, every detail has been hit. There’s the kiwi rug, toys that we see in the cartoon, the fun pops of color, and adorable quirks that make the home feel so … wholesome. “From the moment you step on to the front lawn, you’ll be transported to Bluey’s vibrant world, spotting familiar touches like the red letterbox, bone-adorned chimney and iconic bay window,” the listing reads. “Escape to the backyard and you’ll find a verdant oasis for family games – like Horsey Ride and Keepy Uppy – with a BBQ, kids’-sized trampoline, Grannies’ car, custom toadstool seats, and bespoke dog garden gnomes.” The home is perfect for up to four guests with two bedrooms and three beds in total. It’s an adorable, and bizarro, getaway for a family, but not much else. You’re not allowed to host parties or events at the home, so while it would be one of the most fun places to host a birthday party — this house is just weird enough to be super interesting — it’s a little too creepy for anything else. I mean, what if you just wanted to do some normal sightseeing in Brisbane? And instead you’re in a cartoon-house of cartoon characters? It’s uncanny. It’s really like if a cartoon came to life. For some people, that might be fun but for others it might feel like a waking nightmare or anxiety dream gone totally wrong. We know parents need time away, and kids do, too, but probably not enough to rent. If that’s your thing — and getting to Australia is somehow accessible to you in the next 8 to 10 days — it’s available for bookings on February 14 at 4 p.m. ET and will allow for a two-night stay from February 18 to 20. If you’re happy to keep visiting the world of Bluey from the comfort of your own couch, the show is available to stream on Disney+.
