Read More...We had a fabulous non-simultaneous exchange with Jo and Kim. Jo and Kim's flexible approach led to a fabulous exchange in Coffs Harbour. Kim picked us from and dropped us to the airport which was very much appreciated. Their home was extremely comfortable and as we didn't have a car we found its location perfect. Great walking paths, beach, cafe and restaurants nearby. Also the train station and buses close by. Lots of helpful information left to assist us. We felt right at home. Coffs Harbour is a excellent area to visit with a mild climate and a huge variety of options for visitors.

Read More...An excellent exchange. We were extremely comfortable and found the location perfect. We were walking and found easy access to paths, buses, cafes and supermarkets. Beach close by too. Plenty to do and see and a car would open up further opportunities. We received a friendly welcome and Kim generously picked us up and dropped us back to the airport.

Read More...Jan and I enjoyed two weeks at Kim and Joanne's lovely home in Coffs Harbour. The pool area was very much appreciated for a lazy, hot afternoon cool off. The home is beautifully maintained and close to many coastal and mountain sight-seeing destinations. Highly recommended. Cheers, John and Jan.

Read More...This beautiful home is welcoming and comfortable, neither overly fancy not overly casual. The decor reflects the owners and is a record of their travels, which gave us even more of the travel bug. The pool is a perfect place to work on your tan and cool down from the Aussie sun. You can walk to the grocery store and the amenities of the town centre, making the house also conveniently located. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and catch up on some reading (there is an extensive library) this is the perfect place to stay. Thank you Joanne and Kim for sharing your home with us.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
HomeLink Gold member (more than 14 successful exchanges). We now live in an apartment which is closer to the sea and offers a wide range of activities, which we love.
We live on Australia's Holiday Coast with the best climate.
Our apartment is in a great location. A wide balcony overlooks the creek and bush land and is very spacious.
It is an easy walk to local cafes and restaurants and the beach. Coffs Harbour has a number of beaches for swimming - as well as surfing, snorkelling and fishing.
Our apartment is open plan in kitchen and living areas which flow though to an extensive balcony. We have a main bedroom with en-suite, another queen size bedroom and a smaller non- bedroom .
There is a lift or stairs to our apartment which is on the 2nd floor of 3. There are 6 apartments in the complex.

The Jetty area is vibrant and friendly and combines both coastal and city living. We are close to our CBD and the region's main attractions. Our apartment is less than 500 meters from beaches, the famous Coffs Jetty, the marina and many tourist areas, including the Jetty Restaurant strip.
There is easy access to many coastal & hinterland towns with interesting things to see and do.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Coffs Harbour has a number of swimming and surfing beaches and depending on the time of year, you can watch whales pass by. There are surf schools as well as a range of snorkel and scuba activities. There is a Dolphin Conservation Park where you can get close to dolphins and seals and this is great day for any age group.
Nearby small towns of Bellingen and Dorrigo have many attractions as well as Music Festivals.
There are many walks, national parks, adventure parks, cycling and day trips which are appealing and brochures of different activities are included in our house package.
