Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are looking for exchanges/ house sitting anywhere in Europe, particularly London, anywhere UK, over Christmas/ early January. We have no set dates yet, so we are looking for offers. We are experienced exchangers and will take care of your home.
We live in a quiet cul de sac, a 3 minute stroll over the dunes to our pristine beach where we swim, surf, walk, fish, watch the boats, whales and birds while sometimes having a beer or sharing a bottle of wine. Also, it is fun to explore the extensive biycle/walking paths around the nearby lake.
Large open plan lounge/ dining/ kitchen, separate recreational room with second TV, covered outdoor area with BBQ and tropical garden. All modern conveniences, large tv etc. Access to computer and wireless internet.
Visitors and locals often take the opportunity to bike or walk alongside our beaches, rivers and creeks or visit our local weekend markets.
By car it is a quick trip up to the rainforest.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The sunshine Coast is a long strip of white sand, surf beaches. We live in a very quiet cul-de-sac behind the dunes on a pristine surf beach. We are also very close to a lake system that is lined with cycle/ walking paths. There is a children's playground a few minutes walk away. There are two golf courses within 10-15 minutes drive. There are local shops and take-away shops, but the large supermarkets are only 10 minutes drive away. The tourist hub of Mooloolaba with cafes, restaurants and bars is 15 minutes drive.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
The beaches and swimming are the main attraction! Underwaterworld (15mins drive) at Mooloolaba has a huge aquarium, seals and many aquatic displays. Australia Zoo ( 30 minutes away) is very popular for the crocodile show and huge displays of Australian and exotic animals. Noosa and Mooloolaba are popular local tourist beaches with many beach front cafes.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We have an easy care garden, but it may need some water :-) As we do not have young children at the house, it is not 'child proof', but older children would be fine. Smoking outdoors only.
I am allergic to cats, if they are inside and on the furniture, so unfortunately cannot exchange with a home with cats :-/
