Who are Kyal and Kara?
Kyal and Kara appeared on The Block in 2014, where they were dubbed the “Super K’s”. They became fan favourites and took third place, winning $567,250 at auction.
In 2015, they starred in the first season of Renovation Rumble, where they competed against other fan favourites across renovation TV. They were eliminated in the fifth week, but not before impressing everyone with their strong design skills and attention to detail, creating a standout kitchen in their final week on the show.
With their winnings from The Block, they bought a new house and began their own renovation business, which has become a major success.
In the past five years, they’ve project-managed, designed and completed 35 renovations. They also had their own TV show, Blue Lagoon Build on 9Life, which followed the construction of the dream family beach house on the NSW Central Coast. They have also just finished shooting their fourth season of Bay Builds, completing two stunning side-by-side homes at Long Jetty on the Central Coast of NSW.
Kyal and Kara’s home renovation projects
Together, they have created some incredible homes across New South Wales. A property in Long Jetty, which was bought for $710,000, sold for $1.59 million after they gave it a major facelift. Crazy!
Another successful rebuild was a Killarney Vale fibro shack, which they renovated and sold for $735,000, exceeding the street record at the time.
Teaming up with Lotus Caravans in 2025, the couple took on an ambitious task, a caravan renovation! “This one had been in the works for a while… but the timing hasn’t been right until now,” they said on their website. “As you can imagine, a caravan build is completely different to a home renovation or new build, and we’ve been deep in the vortex of all things touring and travel planning.”
