Bryce and Veronica are trekking the Victorian countryside in search of two couples' patch of paradise, but the quest for the simple life proves to be no walk in the park. Bryce is helping new parents Ben and Lena find a home in the Macedon Ranges, but they'll need to make a few compromises if they're ever going to make their country dream a reality. Meanwhile, Veronica is helping out newlyweds Erin and Allan with their tree change to the Dandenong Ranges. Only problem is, Erin wants a timber house in the treetops and Allan wants a brick house in the suburbs. They are poles apart, so Veronica has a lot of ground to cover if she's going to maintain the harmony in this home.

Max and Mariella have been planning to relocate to Bryon Bay since the birth of their daughter Ruby. As successful property developers, an ambitious build shouldn't be a problem - but handing over control to a local building team is harder than they thought.

Something has to give - especially when the bank learns the house they're loaning money on isn't quite the house being built.
