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.
