Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is a single story, open plan and airy residence with a beachy feel situated in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales. We live in a quiet leafy cul-de-sac and have very friendly neighbours. The beach is only 200 metres away through a coastal bush land reserve.
In our beautiful part of the world there is the opportunity to explore and be active and adventurous or to take the opportunity for a relaxed and laid back break away from it all.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a small, friendly neighbourhood. A local store and cafe is only 5 minutes walk away; a post office, newsagent, supermarket, doctor, chemist, club and hotel is 5 minutes drive.
This area is famous for its surf beaches, pristine rainforests and rural hinterland. The Northern Rivers is also popular with artists, musicians and alternate lifestyles making for a vibrant local community where festivals, markets, literary and artistic events are plentiful. Great food, farmers markets, restaurants and cafes are within easy access. Our climate is pleasant all year round and has cooling sea breezes in summer.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
There are plenty of outdoor activities available including surfing, swimming at the beach or in the beautiful Brunswick River, fishing, snorkelling, cycling and a large selection of sports are available in the area including golf and lawn bowls at the local Country Club. There are some lovely local walks and hiking opportunities, particularly the Byron lighthouse walk which is a local favourite and a new 24k rail trail opening March 2023.
There is much to see and do in the area with North Ocean Shores being an ideal base for exploring Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland. Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay are close by and the Gold Coast and International airport are only 30 minutes away whilst Brisbane, a capital city, is only one and a half hours away.
