The Block Season 20 was filmed on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. Specifically, production took place at the Island Cove Villas, a former holiday resort located in the western part of Cowes, the main township on Phillip Island. The resort spans about 2.5 acres and includes 9 quality homes, a swimming pool, tennis court, playground, and BBQ pavilions. This location was chosen after the original plan to film in Daylesford was abandoned due to permit issues and complaints from local residents. Phillip Island is about a two-hour drive from Melbourne and is a popular tourist destination known for its penguin colony.
