Inside the sprawling Australian homes which feature in Toni Collette’s new Netflix thriller Pieces of Her
Netflix’s brand new drama Pieces of Her premiered on March 4.
And while the female-led series stars an abundance of Australian actors including Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote, it also boasts a string of jaw-dropping Aussie properties as filming locations.
The series is based on the 2018 novel by Karin Slaughter, and is about a young woman named Andrea (Heathcote) who is caught up in a mass shooting at a diner while at lunch with her mother Laura (Collette).

The show was originally supposed to be filmed in British Columbia, Canada, last year, but the Covid-19 pandemic saw the shoot delayed and production moved to Australia.
Laura and Andrea’s seaside abode in the series can actually be found on the Central Coast on MacMasters Beach, as reported by Domain.
The three-bedroom, two-storey home sold for $1.7million in 2016, and was originally built in 1927 by Dr John MacMaster who named it ‘Fort William’ as a nod to his family’s ancestral home in Scotland.
