Description
Within minutes of Australia's best beaches, shopping, restaurants, sightseeing and tourist attractions - but away from traffic and noise.

You'll think you're staying at a resort!

Well-designed modern home (constructed in 2008) in a very quiet area, directly opposite a small "greenspace" park and within a few hundred metres of canal and river. Native birds and animals throughout the area (great for birdwatchers). Many walking and cycling paths.

Kitchen equipped with modern appliances - large refrigerator/freezer, electric oven and ceramic cooktop, rangehood, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine for espresso/cappucino etc, grill, all small appliances and utensils. Outside gas barbeque in the paved private courtyard. Courtyard has a grapevine-covered pergola overhead, and large umbrellas for shade.

Or take it easy, and walk 700 metres to our waterfront licenced restaurant and cafe/coffee shop - or picnic in the park across the road. Many, many more restaurants and shops are located a few minutes drive away at the tourist resort area of Mooloolaba.

Main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with toilet and large shower. Main bathroom has a jacuzzi/spa bath, a separate large shower, and separate toilet.

Large Plasma TV with blu-ray home theatre system..

Three bedrooms, one of which is set up as a study. Ensuite to main bedroom. Sleeps 4 in two queensize beds. There is also an inflatable queensize bed and single foldaway bed, either of which can be set up in the study (or foldaway can fit in main bedroom). Fully airconditioned, as well as ceiling fans throughout the house, to keep you cool in summer. Airconditioners have heating function for the occasional cool winter day. Expect (daily min/max) temperatures 18 to 35C in summer, 8 to 25C in winter.

The house has easy-care ceramic tiles through living areas and bathrooms, and carpet in the bedrooms.

Our home is not set up for small children, but we could make some adjustments if necessary. It is on one level, and wheelchair accessible.

We would happily include our car (automatic sedan) in the exchange to give your further scope for sightseeing in this beautiful area.

Picturesque local scenery, small wineries and interesting shopping. Sporting facilities nearby incl golf, swimming, tennis, fishing, boating, horseriding.

We moved to this home in 2009 to spend our retirement - after considerable research to find the perfect environment. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe.

1.5 hours to Brisbane domestic and international airports, 20 minutes to Sunshine Coast airport for discount flights to Sydney, Melbourne and other parts of Australia.
About Home Exchange Owners :
We are a retired College Teacher and Government Manager. We are interested in any destinations, especially for exchanges of 4 weeks to six months, so tempt us!

We are also interested in shorter exchanges (a few weeks or even long weekends) in Australian major cities or tourist destinations or New Zealand or Pacific Islands at any time.

We love animals, but do not want to be responsible for caring for your pets if this requires us to be "at home" every day. We are non-smokers.

WE CAN DO A NON-SIMULTANEOUS EXCHANGE IF YOUR VISIT TO AUSTRALIA IS AT ANOTHER TIME.
