Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We have a contemporary 2-Bedroom, ground floor apartment with 2 bathrooms (including en-suite in main bedroom). Our apartment is part of the 'Regatta' resort-style complex overlooking Lake Kawana on Queensland's beautiful Sunshine Coast (near Caloundra).
Our apartment is very easy to maintain and is ideal for retired couples who wish to swap. It is equipped with all modern appliances and has ceiling fans and ducted air conditioning throughout. We have a large balcony off the lounge room and main bedroom with spectacular views of Lake Kawana. There is also a smaller balcony off the 2nd bedroom.
Amenities at Regatta Waterfront Apartments includes a lap pool and heated spa.
Our main balcony is opposite the finish-line for any regattas/boating events which are occasionally conducted on Lake Kawana. This provides you with a prime viewing location without having to leave home.
Our apartment is designed to take advantage of the beautiful warm/temperate climate we experience on the Sunshine Coast.
