Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is located on the beautiful Sapphire Coast in Merimbula, New South Wales. Our house is split level with the main living area being on the middle level and includes a surrounding external deck to take advantage of the ocean and adjoining forest views. Our open plan house has all modern conveniences including reverse cycle air conditioning. The house is detached on a 1000 square metre block in a quiet location but only a 5 minute drive into town and nearby beaches. There are three double bedrooms - one with its own ensuite - and a sofa bed for that extra person. Downstairs on the lower lever there is a double garage and fully equipped laundry.
