We are a recently retired psychologist and a lawyer who have enjoyed travelling extensively before 2020. We have appreciated exploring different places or cultures and meeting new people. More recently we have travelled interstate several times, including to Victoria where our son and daughter live, as well as our grandchildren. We would like to get travelling more widely again.

We enjoyed the perfect house and location to fulfil our Adelaide experience. The daily returns were to home, not to an anonymous hotel experience.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our sandstone villa was completely renovated and extended in 2008. The house has 2 King Size bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The attractive and private back garden lends itself to outdoor eating and living. There are also large dining and lounge rooms for entertaining and an inside open living area looking onto the back garden.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our established neighbourhood is quiet and safe. Only 4 or 5 kilometres from the city centre, we are close to parklands and a short drive or bike ride to the city centre. There is a linear nature reserve incorporating several parks, which begins opposite our driveway
Cafes, bakeries and a coffee roaster are but a short stroll away from our house. There are several gyms in our neighbourhood and tennis courts nearby.
The popular Adelaide Hills region is only a 10 minute drive away from our location and the beaches only 20 minutes by car.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
To the east, it is a 5 minute drive to the Adelaide Hills where there are many restaurants and wineries, as well as walking and bike trails. Also, Cleland National Park in the hills, gets you up close to koalas, kangaroos and other native animals. Local beaches to the west are 20 minutes by car. Every year in February and March, the Adelaide Festival of Arts brings the city to life with events of every kind including the Womad music festival in Botanic Park.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We have really enjoyed Australian exchanges, as well as some longer exchanges overseas. Sometimes we have included car exchanges. With family now living in Melbourne, we have done some exchanges in Victoria. We respect the property of others and expect the same from fellow exchangers. There is an automated watering system for the garden. We are open to any necessary negotiations around particular issues . Please check our exchange preferences below
