A warm welcome in a lovely house
The house is ideally situated a short walk from a station to go into the town centre and to the Belair National Park. It was very clean and well equipped and we had a very warm welcome from Margaret and Alan. We had a wonderful stay.

Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is in an elevated position just as the Adelaide Hills begin to rise from the Adelaide plain. The house is built of double brick with a tiled roof, solar panels, water tanks and an easy-care native garden.
We have views to the city in the north and to the sea in the west. The panorama of the sunset over the sea is a highlight of the views from our home.
Adelaide is a beautiful city with a rich cultural life eg live music, theatre and outstanding restaurants. We love our sports here, too - check out the new Adelaide Oval and the Bradman Museum. Adelaide has all the advantages of living in a city without many of the hassles such as traffic jams.
There are wonderful vineyards and wineries within easy reach eg Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. The Adelaide Zoo (with 2 adorable pandas - the only pandas in Australia) and the Cleland Wildlife Reserve are great for the animal lovers.
We are experienced exchangers with previous European, New Zealand and Australian exchanges.

Our Preferences
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We enjoyed an exchange to the Yarra Ranges, Vic. in early December 2017. We are looking for exchanges in 2018 and 2019 - long-term or short-term exchanges are fine. Our home is family-friendly, relaxed and comfortable and we simply expect to return home to find it as we left it.
