Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home could be described as the hidden gem in the crown as it is situated in a glorious part of Australia?the beautiful hinterland of the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. Located near Maleny, a friendly country village, the area possesses some of the most stunning natural beauty Australia has to offer. Perched high on the Blackall Range the region affords breathtaking views of the magnificent Glasshouse Mountains and miles of pristine coastline. Our local area is diverse offering a vast number of natural attractions along with superb cuisine, artisans, galleries and the beach just 30 minutes away. Local rainforest and unspoilt bush provides a popular destination for bush walking, picnicking, canoeing and exploring waterfalls and swimming holes. Check out maleny.qld.au
We have designed our home within a natural eco-system in a totally private and idyllic setting. You will wake to the sounds of unique fauna including whip birds, one of the most characteristic sounds of the Australian bush. Overlooking the Obi Obi creek with mini waterfalls and swimming holes our home is architecturally designed and comprises six pavilions situated on 2 acres of rolling green hills, parklands and lush bush.
The property has a number of charming surprises including a creek side sauna, a separate yoga Shala and even platypus in our swimming hole - this is a place for people seeking something different. You will not only have an opportunity to immerse yourself in something akin to the most enchanting resort, you will also have it all to yourself ? this is an exchange that will offer absolute tranquillity and a little magic!
You are also welcome to use our car.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We have a lovely large home in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. So we're up in the hills near a delightful country village and a 30 minute drive from Queensland's premier surfing beaches.
This is an area where city people love to come for the weekend or for holidays. It is cooler than the coastal areas and doesn't have the humidity of the lower lands because we're up in the rolling green hills with Lake Baroon, running creeks and rainforest.
The village of Maleny is 5 minutes away by car and has pretty much everything you need and a great variety of restaurants, coffee houses and craft shops.
