Veronica and Bryce are up to their necks in nappies, finding homes for two very different families in two different states. Bryce is on the hunt for a couple of urban hippies in Noosa's spectacular hinterland. Chad and Tahlia are loved-up first-time buyers looking for a tree change so baby daughter Venice can be closer to her grandparents.

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.

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.
