Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is a large, four bedroom, two bathroom newly renovated character house in a quiet street. Relax on the deck next to the pool or curl up in the large lounge room with a book. There is a parents treat upstairs and a smaller lounge at the front of the house. Large formal dining is part of the open plan area at the rear and there is also a large kitchen eating area. For children there is a Wendy House in the back garden. The home is comfortable in all weather due to its environmentally friendly construction (double glazing and structural insulation panels) and its central heating and cooling. We get most of power from the 24 solar panels on the roof. Included is the use of a car, a Hyundai i30 (manual). If you need something bigger, we can discuss the use of a larger car (Volvo XC90). Close to bus routes to the beach and the city, it is resort style living in a community location. Walk to local cafes, cinema, shopping and parks, drive/catch the bus to Kings Park, Fremantle or the beach. Further afield, make a trip for the day to the Swan Valley to visit a winery or three.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our neighbourhood is an established, family friendly suburb in the Golden Triangle (the premium residential area of Perth). It is a leafy green suburb 15 minutes by bus to Perth city and the same distance to the Port City of Fremantle. It is less than 10 minutes drive to the beach - Cottesloe or Swanbourne but for surfers you'll need an extra 5 minutes to get to Leighton! Our neighbours are one of the best things about our location, friendly and helpful. Walk down to the local Indian restaurant for dinner before catching a movie at our Art house cinema the Windsor. Also in walking distance is to the local independent grocery store which my children call the Chupa Chup shop due to the free sweets! At the end of our road is a park and small nature reserve for the native oblong turtle. Walk to cafes or cycle down to the river. Close by is the beautiful Matilda Bay and the University of WA which hosts the Perth International Arts Festival.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Perth is a life style city! River, sea, parks, museums, cafes and galleries are all close by. Just up the road from our house a bus route goes into the city and the main bus terminal. It also goes by a major shopping centre five minutes away, the beach and into Fremantle. A short walk takes you to a 24/hour grocery store. We are also close to an independent cinema, the Windsor Cinema, which regularly hosts film festivals as well as major film releases.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We love our house as we designed and built the extension ourselves. Please leave it as you found it. We have a lovely cleaner who comes once a fortnight, and can arrange for her to stay on during your time if you wish. We would prefer no large parties or additional house guests without prior arrangement. We do have chickens that will need to be fed, watered and you will receive in return about four to five eggs per day! If hens are not your thing, we have a queue of local children who love to come over and care for them in our absence.
