Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Perth has more sunny days than any other Australian capital city! There is wonderful scuba diving off the coast and you can even swim with dolphins if you want.
Margaret River with its vineyards and amazing beaches and coastline is only 4.5 hours away by car and is well worth a visit. Rottnest Island is just a short ferry trip away and is a great day trip.
Our favourite restaurants
Cafés & bars
Walks or jogging paths
