The family are based at a mansion in the idyllic Byron Bay.
The family has lived in the idyllic New South Wales coastal town since 2015 where Hemsworth revealed he has been recently "enjoying downtime" surfing and hanging out with his kids.
Hemsworth and Pataky met and married 14 years ago, with Hemsworth revealing to Elle in 2015 that it was love at first sight.
"From the first time we met, we just made sense. She's fun. She's outgoing, and she has a sense of humour and a passionate attitude toward life, which is nice to try to keep up with," he told the publication.
