Whether building, buying or renovating, homes can have a big impact on our environment. We meet a man who is slowly turning his house and business in one into a sustainable family home.

Rancho Relaxo is in transition from a bachelor pad lived in by three surfing mates to a young couple’s new family nest. Home can mean different things throughout our life stages, so what is it about this place that makes it so liveable?

We spend a night in Tom and Laura’s granny flat, and hear how some creative thinking and DIY renovations helped the couple afford to buy and renovate their first home.

We visit a house with three front doors, four cats, two dogs, a whole lot of chickens and four generations of the one family living under the same roof.

Katie never dreamt she’d be raising her family in the same place she grew up in, but with neighbours like these, who would want to leave?
