Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Ours is a comfortable three bedroom home with a view of the Pacific Ocean and coastal mountains out the front window. Beautfiul Miracle Beach is less than a half hour drive away. It is about a 40 minute drive to the ski hill from our door to the lodge on Mount Washington. We are also only minutes away from miles of forested hiking and cycling trails. The ferry to Vancouver is a 1.5 hour drive or bus ride away and the beautiful city of Victoria is a 3 hour drive way. There are ferry connections right in Campbell River to other islands such as Quadra Island (only 5 minutes away) if you want to explore. Overall, this is a wonderful spot from which you can golf, ski, fish, organize whale watching and wildlife bear tours, or visit other cities in beautiful British Columbia. You will want to visit our local museum and art gallery for information on the area and the art and culture of our First Nations as well! (Please note that we have moved and no longer have a hot tub on our deck which our Australian exchangers mention in their kind notes)
