We enjoy spending time with family - especially the grandchildren, however relish our time travelling to places far and wide. Our spacious apartment has heating and cooling and is VERY easy to live in - hence all of our visitors!
We are active and enjoy touring countries, meeting our hosts and becoming part of the local community. We enjoy cycling, trekking and sampling delicious local cuisine.
We are very experienced exchangers and have made life long friends with people who have stayed in our home and / or been hosted by us (social media makes it so easy to stay in touch)
This year we visited Scotland, Denmark, Wales, England (taking in the Ashes cricket), Italy, Germany, Austria and Dubai. While we were away, we had two home exchanges - firstly a lovely couple from France and secondly, a wonderful family from Canada.
We are keen to visit Canada and are actively seeking another home to extend our stay....
We are also keen to visit New Zealand - so any Kiwis looking for a Gold Coast luxury stay - please get in touch!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are experienced exchangers and have met some AMAZING people. We have a modern executive home in a highly sought after, safe area. The home embraces indoor/outdoor living with other features including a pool, media/theatre room and surround sound throughout house and BBQ dining area - perfect for entertaining!
You can enjoy easy walks around the local neighbourhood on designated walking paths through parks and adjacent to the Brisbane River.
We also have two quality vehicles available for travel to the Gold Coast or the southern hinterland areas. You may also wish to visit the regional wine areas or travel north to the sunshine coast and hinterland. All of these areas are within day trips or you can take advantage of the many B&B or Hotel weekend get-a-ways.
If you enjoy bike riding, you will have access to quality mountain and road bikes during your stay. There are many mountain bike tails on nearby Mt Coot-tha and a myriad of bike paths which wind around the Brisbane River and Brisbane city area - all easily accessible from our home.
For a trip into the city without the car - you can access the local Chelmer train station (a 1km or 5 minute walk) from our home. It is only a quick 10-15min train trip into South Brisbane to the Arts Centre precinct or one more station to the Brisbane CBD.
You also have access to our lovely holiday house (sleeps 4-6) at Mermaid Beach in the heart of the Gold Coast - 600m from the beach.
The Australian winter months are a delight in Brisbane and throughout Queensland. It is a lovely time to enjoy many of the popular events which are staged throughout the State. The weather is warm (average 20 degrees c) - perfect for outdoor dining, outdoor shows and other activities!
Our home is located close to local amentities, within a friendly, but not intrusive neighbourhood. Your home will be treated with the same respect we show our home.
