Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Labrador, Gold Coast, Chirn Park, QLD
I am an active widowed retiree. I sometimes travel with my long term partner when he can get away from his business in Port Douglas. My interests run to travel, history, reading, music, ballet, yoga and ballroom dancing. I am a non smoker and I would like to do more travel while my health and fitness allows. I enjoy meeting new people and enjoy a glass of champagne when dining out with friends. I live 6 months in Port Douglas(winter) and 6 months on Gold Coast (summer) and I have found house swapping a most wonderful cost effective way of seeing the world and meeting new interesting people. I love travelling and have completed successful houseswaps in France, Italy, UK and Australia. Many of my Australian houseswappers have become good friends. I travel with my two little rescued dogs and love to share my travels with them in Australia, I in turn, welcome my house swappers well behaved dogs into my home. I am houseproud, respectful and honest and you can rest assured your home and garden will be in good hands if you exchange with me.Refs. and police check are available.

We had a lovely break at Sandra's little oasis on the Gold Coast, lots of wildlife and with our bikes we could get to almost everything and avoid parking issues, thank you Sandra, let's hope for better weather next time

A very lovely people with cute well trained dogs. The house in Labrador was great. Comfortable & convenient. We love trees and tame wild birds and animals. Easy access to many beaches and boardwalks as well as night markets, shops & reaturants.
