For long-time viewers, Dreamworld isn’t just another filming site — it’s where Australian reality TV history was made.
When Big Brother Australia launched its first season in 2001, the Dreamworld house instantly became a pop-culture symbol. With its transparent walls, shared bedrooms, and ever-watching cameras, it gave Australians a peek into a social experiment that defined the early 2000s.
That original house was located just behind the Dreamworld theme park, complete with an outdoor pool, a diary room that saw more tears than laughter, and the unforgettable “Big Brother” voice booming across the compound.
Over the years, the show moved — with later seasons filmed in Sydney’s North Head and even in Manly, introducing futuristic, bunker-like designs and high-tech living spaces. But for many fans, nothing matched the authentic chaos and charm of the original Dreamworld era.
Now, after more than a decade, the show is returning home — and this time, the house has been completely rebuilt from the ground up.
🏡 Inside the Brand-New Dreamworld House
The new Big Brother Australia 2025 house isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a reinvention.
Fresh photos reveal a vibrant set filled with retro colours, neon lighting, and quirky textures, all designed to blend nostalgia with modern reality TV flair. Every corner seems built for drama — from the open-plan living area to the sleek new diary room, which promises to witness plenty of emotional confessions this season.
Host Mel Tracina described the move perfectly:
“The Big Brother house is synonymous with Dreamworld, so bringing the OG format to its OG location feels right. We’re excited to be home — and in a new house that hopefully comes with an air fryer.”

After years of experimentation, the new BBAU Dreamworld house feels like a love letter to the show’s early roots — but with the kind of polish that modern reality TV demands.
The kitchen immediately steals attention with its radiant mix of yellow, pink, and orange cabinetry. The space feels both nostalgic and futuristic — open, inviting, and perfectly lit for the inevitable breakfast gossip or midnight meltdowns.
The laundry area, with its rainbow-tiled wall and triple washing machines, brings playfulness to the most ordinary task. It’s cheerful and bright — though we can already imagine a few heated debates over washing schedules.
Walk into the bedroom, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a whimsical mix of bold colours, glowing arches, and rounded furniture that feels straight out of a retro dream. It’s warm yet intense — the kind of environment that fuels deep conversations and fiery arguments alike.
The pantry looks like a mini convenience store, stocked to perfection. Every snack and cereal box adds to the cheerful energy — but also hints at the competition to come. After all, nothing tests teamwork like food in Big Brother.
The bathroom blends aqua blues and blush pinks, creating a surprisingly calm aesthetic for a place constantly under camera watch. Despite the minimal privacy, the soft hues balance out the ever-present tension.
In contrast, the main lounge feels like an oasis. Teal-green couches, pastel walls, and neon outlines make it both relaxing and ready for group drama. It’s the heart of the house — a stage where laughter, tears, and strategies will all unfold.
As night falls, the kitchen and bar area transforms dramatically. Red LED strips illuminate the counters, turning the space into a nightclub scene — ideal for strategy talks and late-night flirtations.
Meanwhile, the orange corner lounge takes viewers straight back to the 70s, with its gold sofas, circular lighting, and even a fish tank window that nods to the voyeurism the show is famous for.
There’s also a colourful glam room, where big brother contestants will prepare for challenges and confessionals surrounded by bright mirrors, funky lockers, and playful décor. It’s a self-expression zone — the mirror, after all, is where contestants face themselves and their game.
Every space in this Big Brother Australia 2025 Dreamworld house has a story. It’s not just a backdrop — it’s an active player in the season, designed to amplify personality clashes, build emotion, and keep fans glued to every camera angle.
A Look Back: Evolution of the Big Brother House
Each version of the Big Brother Australia house has reflected its time — both in style and technology:
- 2001–2008 (Dreamworld Era): Bright, playful spaces; a mix of glass, wood, and bold colours; backyard pool and sun deck that became the show’s heart.
- 2012–2014 (Dreamworld Rebuild): The “luxury era” — bigger rooms, colourful décor, and hidden twist areas like the “Halfway House.”
- 2020–2024 (Manly & Sydney Era): High-tech, darker interiors built for strategy and secrecy, with hidden rooms and smart lighting.
- 2025 (Dreamworld Return): A mix of all eras — nostalgic comfort meets futuristic flair.
The new design reportedly includes eco-friendly features, digital diary room upgrades, and more hidden cameras than ever before.

A Symbolic Return to the Roots of Reality TV
This return to Dreamworld isn’t just a location change — it’s a symbolic homecoming for Australian television.
For the generation that grew up watching housemates sunbake by the pool, argue in the kitchen, and cry in the diary room, this revival feels deeply nostalgic. The Big Brother Australia 2025 house doesn’t just mark a new season — it marks a reconnection with the heart of what made the show iconic in the first place.
