Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Lovely home in quiet family friendly area. Close to beach and shopping. Close to large open space for walking, cycling, sports. 4kms to beautiful Perth Beaches (40 min walk, 5 mins by car) and short walk to shopping village with two restaurants. Close to several Golf Courses including the World Class Lake Karrinyup (500m away).

Possible to bus (or walk approx 2.5km) and then frequent trains to City. Car available for exchange is a Medium 4 door Auto HAtchback (Suzuki SCross). Easy access to main roads for travel to any area of Perth/Western Australia.

Situated beside the Swan River, Perth (Pop 1.7 million) is a living picture postcard, with the best views of all from Kings Park and Botanic Garden - one of the biggest inner-city parks in the world and larger than New York's Central Park. The only Australian capital city where you can enjoy the beach lifestyle, relax in natural bushland, sample world-class local wines and watch an ocean sunset all within just 30 minutes of the city. It's also the sunniest state capital, averaging 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and boasting a string of 19 beautifully clean and uncrowded beaches, from iconic Cottesloe to the surf hotspot of Scarborough.

Home would suit from a couple (just use ground floor which includes living areas and main bedroom/ensuite) to large family group (3 additional bedrooms with double/queen beds, bathroom and another living area upstairs).

Swimming pool is solar heated so, as long as there is sun it is can get quite warm in the shoulder seasons.

At the moment, we'd like to arrange extended exchanges for times when weather is pleasant (we are not fans of the cold). We don't know where - but we'd like to avoid bigger cities and find somewhere smaller that we can use as a base to explore wider. Perth weather is almost always good - so if you think you would like to spend two months or so enjoying the world's best weather - please contact us.

Currently we are particularly interested in South America, Portugal, France, Ireland, Germany - but anywhere would be considered.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Suburban neighborhood with mixed ages. Good shopping and recreation facilities as well as access to major transport routes.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Visit Australia’s sunniest capital city and you’ll experience more than just amazing sunsets over the ocean.

Perth effortlessly blends urban cool with raw natural beauty and makes the perfect base for your unique Western Australian experience. Bustling with new bars, restaurants, shopping and cultural spaces, Perth is also home to Kings Park—one of the world’s largest inner city parks, beautiful wineries, and stunning beaches where you can even swim with wild dolphins.

A large city - it has access to almost any activity you are looking for.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

Ideally Spain, Portugal, Italy, South America or rural France, but all offers considered.

We are retired and very flexible, so will consider almost anything/anywhere (that's how we ended up in Oman!)

We generally prefer 1-2 month exchanges. We are not sure where and are open to suggestions (sell it to us) - but we usually do like to steer clear of big cities and exchange somewhere quieter, that we can use as a base for exploring more widely.

Perth weather is almost always good, but probably at its best in the Spring, when the days are warm and sunny with temperatures ranging from average minimums of around 11.7 to maximums of around 23oC (53 - 73.4oF) and there is very little rainfall.

We'd don't need much - a clean, comfortable, non smoking home that has room for the two of us - and possibly a visitor or two for a short time - and one that can be left for small periods if we decide to travel wider.

If you think you would like to spend Some time months in Perth, Western Australia at that time of year (or anytime) - please contact us.
