Tonight | Better Homes and Gardens on Seven transforms a ‘haunted shack’ into a dream home – A remarkable farmhouse renovation, life on a working cattle station and a budget-friendly bedroom makeover are among the highlights on this week’s Better Homes and Gardens.
Airing Saturday, 13 June, Episode 33 sees the team venture from the Byron Bay hinterland to the Southern Highlands, while also serving up a mouthwatering pork recipe and clever DIY inspiration.
Johanna tours a remarkable country transformation
Have you ever dreamed of leaving city life behind for a tree change?
Johanna is heading to the Byron Bay hinterland to meet former Seven camera operator Mel Macpherson, who did exactly that — taking on the daunting task of restoring a dilapidated farmhouse known locally as the “haunted shack”.
Faced with asbestos, lead paint and persistent leaks, Mel transformed the neglected property into a stunning country retreat, documenting the renovation journey on Instagram along the way.
One of the home’s standout features is the way Mel has honoured its heritage, thoughtfully incorporating elements of the farmhouse’s history into the redesign.
The result is a truly inspiring transformation that proves even the most challenging projects can have a happy ending.
Dr Harry saddles up in the Southern Highlands
Dr Harry swaps suburban backyards for cattle country this week as he visits Snake Creek Cattle Company in New South Wales.
Operated by Alice Le Cras and Hugh Clarke, the working cattle farm embraces a paddock-to-plate philosophy while preserving traditional horsemanship practices.
Cattle are still mustered on horseback, and the owners’ passion for horses has evolved into a thriving agritourism venture.
Dr Harry meets some of the remarkable horses and the people dedicated to their training and care.
Colin fires up the rotisserie
For food lovers, Colin is putting a flavour-packed twist on the classic pork roast.
He’s preparing pork belly rotisserie-style over an open flame, sharing tips on achieving perfectly crisp crackling and tender, succulent meat.
Served with a spicy prune and apple sauce, it’s a comforting dish designed to impress family and friends alike.
Juliet creates designer style on a budget
Juliet is proving that stylish home updates don’t have to cost a fortune.
Inspired by the sweeping curves and textures of Mediterranean interiors, she’s transforming basic flat-pack bedside tables into custom designer pieces using an unexpected material sourced from the hardware store.
Best of all, the project costs less than five dollars, making it one of the show’s most affordable DIY makeovers.
The versatile technique can also be adapted for a range of furniture pieces throughout the home.
Whether you’re dreaming of country living, searching for weekend cooking inspiration or planning your next DIY project, this week’s Better Homes and Gardens has plenty to offer.
Better Homes and Gardens Episode 33 airs Saturday, 13 June on Seven and 7plus.
