‘Hamptons of Canada, heaven on Earth': Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec and Dancing with the Stars pro Kym Johnson open doors to their stunning Muskoka home

Robert Herjavec, the Shark Tank judge and Kym Johnson-Herjavec, the former Dancing with the Stars pro have opened their doors to their Canadian vacation home. Robert Herjavec, 64, and Kym Johnson-Herjavec, 50, offered a glimpse inside their serene lakeside abode in Muskoka, located about two hours north of Toronto, during a recent tour with Homeworthy. Their house had endless waterfront views and lush greenery and the destination is considered “heaven on earth for many people,” Robert told the People. “Some people call it the Hamptons of Canada.”

Robert Herjavec further added that having a home in Muskoka is like a dream come true for him, especially as a native of Canada who grew up in a one-room apartment without “a lot of money.”

Inside Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson-Herjavec's Canada home

The house is set on three acres of land, the property features the large main house in addition to a boathouse, guest house, garage and detached gym. Robert and Kym, who share 8-year-old twins Hudson and Haven, view the home as an idyllic place for their kids to connect with their Canadian side. “When we had our kids, I think it was really important to them to have a little bit of Canadian roots. I think it doesn’t get more Canadian than the lakes,” said Kym, who is originally from Australia.

Inside the home, the couple — who met on DWTS and tied the knot in 2016 — say the open-plan kitchen and dining area is their favorite space. The stunning views visible from almost every corner of the room make it even more special. “One of the great things about the house, and in this room is, it’s almost flat,” Robert told Homeworthy. “It’s almost like being on a ship. Everywhere you look you can see water, which is pretty rare up here.”

What's inside Muskoka room?

The space features a folding glass wall that opens directly into their “Muskoka room,” an indoor-outdoor area equipped with a retractable screen to keep bugs away. The room also has a fireplace, TV and barbecue area, making it ideal for relaxing and entertaining. It leads out to an outdoor dining area with unobstructed lake views. The backyard, decorated with cozy string lights, also includes a pizza oven, hot tub and sauna, while a pickleball court sits elsewhere on the property.

Their detached boathouse is located down the hill, a common feature at Muskoka homes. “Muskoka is all about the boathouse. I mean, if they would let you, people just have a boathouse and no house at all,” Robert said.

Inside, another standout feature is the massive living-room fireplace, which is handmade from Muskoka rock. While it adds warmth and character to the home, Kym said the setting initially felt very different from what she was used to growing up in Australia.

“It was so different for me. But the first time Robert brought me here, I could not believe it,” she said. “It looked like something out of The Parent Trap, which is one of my favorite movies.”
