Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our home is a short drive from the Albany town centre, with Goode Beach just a 2 minute walk away. The house has high ceilings, is fully insulated and maintains a constant comfortable temperature, but there is an efficient reverse cycle air con if needed. We have rooftop solar panels, with a storage battery and rainwater tank which supplements the scheme water. The property is fully fenced, with a covered carport and a delightful garden, with a mixture of native and exotic shrubs, flowering annuals, citrus trees, vegie garden and fresh herbs, which you are welcome to pick and enjoy.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Goode Beach is a friendly, small and quiet beachside suburb, a hidden gem on the edge of Torndirrup National Park. There is a combined grocery, liquor store and petrol station 15 mins drive away. You will find all the usual facilities by travelling a further 10 mins to Albany township: supermarkets, doctors, dentists, chemist, churches, library, visitor centre, hairdressers, cinema, restaurants etc.
The drive from Perth takes 4-5 hrs, you can fly with Rex Airlines or opt to travel by coach from East Perth. We could negotiate leaving our car with friends in Perth, ready for you to collect if arriving from interstate or overseas by air. We have enjoyed many wonderful home exchanges in places other than capital cities, it is one of the joys of Homelink to stay somewhere unexpected, and we know you won't be disappointed to visit the Great Southern!

Attractions

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

Albany was the first town on Australia's west coast to be settled by Europeans in 1826, two years before Perth and Fremantle. Albany was the final departure point for the first ANZAC troops, with their horses, to the battlefields of the First World War, and their service was recognised on 25 April 1923 in Albany at the nation’s first ever Anzac Day Dawn Service. Visit the National Anzac Centre, see a show at the Albany Entertainment Centre which has events throughout the year, there are a lot of local artisans in the region, historic pubs, craft breweries and wineries but the main attraction for most visitors is the spectacular coastal scenery. And of course whale watching in season. The nearby Princess Royal Yacht Club welcomes visitors, and also the Grove Park Golf Links, a 18 hole public golf course at 780 Frenchman Bay Rd, Big Grove. Or just enjoy sitting on the deck overlooking the garden, listen to the waves and watch the birdlife. If you want to increase your steps, take a long walk along the beach to Mistaken Island, go for a swim or hop on our electric bikes and ride to the nearby Discovery Centre and Whaling Station Museum for a light lunch, or coffee and cake.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We look after our exchange home as if it were our own and expect this to be returned in kind. Our house has wooden floors, so please take care when returning from the beach to leave the sand outside, by removing your shoes. Most of our garden is reticulated, but we'd appreciate our guests checking for plants that might need an additional water outside. Our yard is fully fenced and whilst pets are allowed inside, we expect that they do NOT get onto the furniture or bedding please. Any drivers of our car must be older than 24 yrs and hold a current Australian or International driver's licence.
