JOHANNA + PETE – THE MONTVILLE STUNNER
We’ve featured some stunning luxury homes on the show in the past…but this one might take the cake. Located in the picturesque art & culture hub of Montville, this jaw-dropping modern country home is set on 2.42 acres and offers sweeping views of the lush Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
JOHANNA + MELISSA – GARDENS OF A HINTERLAND HOME + ENHANCE YOUR HOME’S ENTRANCE WITH A POTTED GARDEN
It’s not just the home here that’s one-of-a-kind… the gardens are so stunning, Melissa couldn’t resist dropping by to check them out! She’s joining Johanna for a look around this stunning modern country-style garden, which was designed around a largely native plant palette. Native gardens don’t only look great, they support local wildlife, are more environmentally conscious and easier to care for, too.
JOHANNA – THE MATER HOSPITAL, BRISBANE
Anyone who’s expecting a baby hopes their child will be born happy and healthy. But for many parents, that’s sadly not the case. In Brisbane, over 1700 seriously ill or very premature babies end up going through the doors of the Mater Neonatal Critical Care Unit each year.

CLARISSA – THE FALLS FARM WALKAROUND
A 10-minute drive from Montville, you’ll find the sleepy rural town of Mapleton…which just happens to be home to Queensland’s best produce. The Falls Farm is a family- owned business, run by Ben Johnston & Jess Huddart since 2013. On the 12-hectare property, they’ve established a market garden that specialises in seasonal and nutrient-dense fruit and veggies.
CLARISSA + JOH – MEDITERRANEAN EGGPLANT & HALLOUMI SALAD
Now that Clarissa has stocked up on yummy farm-fresh produce, she needs a recipe that’ll really make those veggies shine. So she’s whisking us off to the Mediterranean with a fresh, healthy and flavour-packed salad. Made with grilled baby eggplant & halloumi, plus loads of fresh veggies, basil, pomegranate and a delicious za’atar dressing, this salad is fancy enough to serve to guests and substantial enough to be a main meal.
MELISSA – THE BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDS OF MONTVILLE
Perched high in the lush Sunshine Coast hinterland, Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World is a sprawling garden paradise set across 110 acres. With the majestic Glass House Mountains as its backdrop, the gardens here are world-class, and you’ll find everything from delicate orchids to some of the rarest cycads on the planet.
This new episode of Better Homes and Gardens airs tonight, Friday 29th May, at 7.00pm on Seven and 7plus – check local guides.
