We are a couple spend our time between our Melbourne apartment and our home on the Mornington Peninsula. We love the casual beach lifestyle of the Mornington Peninsula. We both enjoy painting and Alan is a keen gardener.
We love to travel and as our adult children both live in NYC and we like to visit at least once a year plus do another trip to somewhere in Europe, United States or Asia.

Read More...This property in Melbourne is spectacular. Beachfront, quiet restful nights, walking distance to shops, pleasant cafés, and lovely neighbours combined with a quick train ride into the city to visit all that Melbourne has to offer, make this place an absolute treat. As if this weren't enough, Alan & Susie are absolutely fantastic. Discreetly checking in to make sure that all is well while mixing in the perfect dose of humour, charm, and kindness. I had such a great time that I seriously considered moving to Australia. I can highly recommend this property for both location and comfort. I also had the best of times and thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with Alan & Susie as I'm looking forward to hosting them in turn in Canada.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
This stylish beachfront property in Port Melbourne is the epitome of luxurious beach life in the city. Floor-to-ceiling windows from bedroom and living room open directly onto Port Phillip Bay. Take in the sea breeze on the XL patio, perfect for warm evenings under a balmy sky watching the ships pass by. The one bedroom apartment is superbly appointed and located in Port Melbourne, one of Melbourne's hippest districts within a stone's throw of the city centre. A five minute walk to the light rail transports you to all that Melbourne has to offer.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Sunny bayside neighbourhood gleaming with modern architecture. The apartment is located on the palm-lined path that hugs the Port Melbourne foreshore. Deviate past architect-designed houses and the high-rise apartment blocks overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Catch your breath in Beach Street's eateries and find spot for a beachfront beverage. Share snacks and sea breeze at LaFayette or Tenpin, or splurge at Waterfront and people-watch as the Spirit of Tasmania ferry arrives, and the international cruise ships dock.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Step out of the apartment and onto the beachfront. There are a variety of places to enjoy coffee, a glass of wine or a meal on nearby Bay St. A short 10 mins on the light rail and you will be in the centre of Melbourne. If you prefer to be active, you can hire bikes by the water with the city's bikeshare program. Ride to the city or ride along the beach path to St Kilda to the famous Luna Park, with Acland St and all its attractions. Melbourne is famous for its coffee, arts and live music. There are plenty of venues nearby to catch a show including the Espy (St Kilda) or Arts Centre (Southbank).
