Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Since Cairns is an international tourism and eco-tourism destination with Wet Tropics World Heritage adjacent Great Barrier Reef World Heritage, the natural attractions nearby are many all accessible threw numerous agents catering to all budgets. Crystal Cascades & Stony Creek National Park are just minutes away from our residence by car. Great for bushwalking & swimming in crystal clear water!
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
Our family home has raised 3 children now adults in a beautiful environment that we love & respect. This means consideration to neighbours and doing our bit to recycle where we can.
The tropics with high temps, humidity and fast growing fauna has it’s challenges for keeping clean and tidy and we’ve chosen a more relaxed way of managing it - not too tidy a garden that chickens scratch around in and not uptight with cobwebs appearing.
As long as things are left fairly tidy and clean and a little effort to use recycle bins we thin on.
