kykNET's latest reality low Klein Paradys (Little Paradise) premieres on Thursday 24 October at 20h00 with a transformation challenge for six teams of wannabe millionaires.

The prize: R1-million for the winning duo.

The task: They need to transform six small units into five star luxury accommodation.

They have to ensure that these tiny spaces include a bedroom area, living space, kitchenette and bathroom.


From this container to luxury

The series is filmed in Elgin in the Western Cape so they'll be creating retreats in nature, which sounds divine. 

We're hooked on the tiny home TV phenomenon. There's an addictive delight in seeing how imaginative and resourceful people can be with limited space. Also, the finished home always makes you feel cosy, compact and safe.

Even though the process of creating the tiny home is complicated, the results are simple and there's something liberating about simplicity.

The show's teams are going to do each aspect of the process themselves, other than build the actual unit.

They have to manage their own budgets, order their own building supplies and must complete most of the physical labour themselves.

They have four weeks across 15 episodes.

The series is produced by Afrokaans (who did Survivor SA) and it's hosted by former Bravo! presenter Robbie Kruse.

The teams are:

Mika and Jannie: The young lovers  
 

She is a 23-year-old architectural designer from Durbanville who has won a national design award, and he is a 36-year-old entrepreneur and co-director of a national infrastructure consultancy company living in Paarl.

They say they both work well under pressure and agree that a mitre saw is their favourite tool, but Jannie also likes to have a cordless drill handy.

Mika’s life motto is to swim against the tide - and that might just be the ideal attitude to tackle the challenges Klein Paradys will throw at her.
 

Alicia and Claudia: The sisters from Bloemfontein  


Alicia (31) is an interior decorator, and Claudia (29) is a tattoo artist. They live in Bloemfontein and aren’t afraid of hard work.

However, they know sisters don’t always agree, which might cause friction when they need to make decisions on Klein Paradys.

Alicia’s favourite tool is an 18V cordless drill, but a paintbrush is enough for Claudia. Their life motto is: This is tiger country!
 

Juan-Louis and Elri: The friends from Potch  
 

Juan-Louis (28) is a cinematographer, and Elri (29) is an architect. They live in Potchefstroom and have been close friends for six years.

Both men have tackled renovation projects with their wives, but this is the first time they’re working together.

Elri’s favourite tool is a mitre saw, and Juan-Louis never goes anywhere without his Leatherman multi-tool.
 

Klaas and Yvett: The stylish duo  
 

Klaas is a 50-year-old business consultant, and Yvett (40) owns a beauty salon.

They live in Pretoria East, Gauteng, and believe their strengths - Klaas’ practical skills and Yvett’s style and problem-solving abilities - make them formidable opponents.

He always has a drill at hand, and Yvett says she’d rather hang out in hardware stores than shopping malls.

Her favourite tool is a paintbrush, with a measuring tape a close second. Her life motto is to do everything to the best of her ability.
 

Maggie and Gerrie: The eclectic couple  


Maggie (36) is a research communications specialist, and her husband, Gerrie (40), is a financial advisor and former journalist. They live with their children in Durbanville, outside Cape Town.

If they had to describe their style, it would be colourful and eclectic.

His favourite tool is a band saw, and hers is a sewing machine or paintbrush - tools that can hide anything, in her opinion. Their shared life motto is: Kind and brave.
 

Johann and Lee-Ann: The in-laws  
 

When Lee-Ann, a 38-year-old interior design student from Pretoria, heard about the competition, she asked her brother-in-law Johann, a 34-year-old structural engineer from Durbanville, to be her teammate.

They believe his passion for DIY projects and practical approach, combined with her love for designing small spaces and thinking outside the box, make them a dream team.

Johann’s favourite tool is his multi-tool, while Lee-Ann loves “dancing” with a belt sander.
 

They'll be judged by:
 


- Wicus Pretorius, the editor of interior design and lifestyle magazine Tuis (House).

- Magdalena Bobotoni, CEO of housekeeping at the Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg, with 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry and,

-  Jessica Pieters, creator of The DIY Studio on TikTok and the winner of Netwerk24’s Influencer of the Year Award in the DIY category.
