Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a quiet street with very friendly neighbours who "look out" for each other. Our house is on a rear block so is very peaceful. Some restaurants and café are within walking distance also the shopping centre. We have a small easy care garden with herbs, so it doesn't take much work to maintain.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Restaurants and cafes within walking distance so you can enjoy your wine and no need to drive home. Fremantle 5km away with many eateries, museums, shopping, cruise ship port, historic buildings including the famous Fremantle Prison. Fremantle departures for Rottnest Island getaways or day trips. Rockingham is 30 mins drive for day trip to Penguin Island. The beaches and river are very close for any water sports and fishing. Two golf clubs, bowling clubs and tennis clubs are nearby. We are about 40 mins to the famous Swan Valley wine region and about 3 hours drive south to Margaret River wineries and tourist region. Many people are unaware that Western Australia offers a sunny climate all year round. Many Perth people travel north in the winter months ( April- September) and follow the sun. The northern part of Western Australia has tropical seasons, being a wet summer and dry winter. Hence we leave the cooler weather behind and go north for winter. This region has many beautiful tourist attractions. Coral Bay, Exmouth, Broome, the Pilbara region, Karinjini National Park, Millstream, Bungle Bungles, Mt Augustus.Horizontal Falls, and many beautiful gorges. Temperatures up north in the 30's for winter. So come and give it a go, I know you will love it. We are regularly up north when not house swapping.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is very important that we find our home neat, clean and in the same condition as we left it, as we would leave yours also. We would expect our home to be treated with respect as you would treat your own. We have a large collection of antique china teapots, all behind glass and would like to say "Nice to look at, but please do not touch". We know our guests will be comfortable in our home and we want them to enjoy their stay.
