We are a recently retired couple and are planning to do home exchanges after many great home exchange holidays when our family was younger. Gareth was a Communications Director for an international organisation and Rosie a teacher. We decided to move to the Mornington Peninsula because we love the outdoors and there are lots of activities available. In half an hour there is a choice of beaches, walks winery restaurants and cafes. Melbourne is an hour away with its vibrant culture, cafes and restaurants and lots to do.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Quiet sandy beaches are five minutes drive away and it is a great base to explore the nearby Mornington Peninsula. This offers 60 vineyards, many with restaurants, great coastal scenery and lots of activities for all ages. The Moonlight sanctuary is a great place to see kangaroos and Koalas. It is a very relaxing area with Melbourne within easy reach.
