Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our holiday home is on the famous Australian Great Ocean Road. It is in the beautiful village of Lorne which has a magnificent sandy surf beach at the front and a rich hinterland of Australian bush (forest/woods) at the back. The home has great ocean views and is only 100m from the beach. It is a 15 minute stroll along the beach and over the swing bridge to the centre of town with its many restaurants, cafes and trendy shops.
The house is surrounded by a native garden alive with birds and the occasional visit from a koala, echidna or kangaroo.
There are 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a modern kitchen and BBQ facilities on our large balconies. It is a great place to relax, go fishing, play golf and generally enjoy the Aussie way of life.
