Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
We are six minutes from the Geelong Ring Road M1 freeway which gives you fast access to Melbourne and to the Surf Coast. For a leisurely shopping day in Melbourne, we recommend the V-Line train which gets you to and from the centre of Melbourne without any parking or traffic worries. Local bus services that stop just a few minutes walk from our door connect with the Geelong train station, and there are shuttle bus services that connect you directly with both Avalon Airport and Melbourne Airport flights.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
No smoking please. As we are puppy raisers for the Vision Australia Seeing-Eye Dog program, we usually have a pup staying with us under training. They are very quiet! But we would prefer not to have the distractions of any visitors' pets.
