Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Springwood, Brisbane, QLD
Hi, we are a mother and son who own a house together. It is a 4 bedroom house but one of the bedrooms is used as an office. I am 66 and due to retire in late July and my son is 44. In 2012 we did a 6 month house swap in Vancouver, Canada and we have also done a short stay house swap in Melbourne in 2014. Both swaps went well so we are keen to do it again in the UK. Both families enjoyed there stay in sunny Queensland. We have easy access to the freeway which can take you into the city in 20 minutes or to the Gold or Sunshine Coast. We have a 4 wheel drive which we can also include in the swap. This makes the beautiful Fraser and Moreton islands also a possibility for you. Providing you clean the salt water off afterwards. My son is a programmer who works remotely so we are very flexible as to the length of the swap however we wanted to stay in the UK for at least 4 weeks.

We live in one of the most sought after streets in Springwood. 70 metres from our home is the entrance to a Conservation park featuring beautiful walking tracks, vistas and wildlife. We have the convenience of city living with the charm of beautiful bushland right at our doorstep. Personally we have seen koalas, pretty faced wallabies, echidnas, brush tail and ring tail possums in these parklands as well as beautiful sunsets. Also close by is the Daisy Hill Koala Centre and Forest. Koalas are on display at the centre in an outdoor enclosure and wallabies are commonly seen in the park. Just bring out your picnic lunch and you will be sure to get some visitors. Daisy Hill Forest is also popular with mountain bike enthusiasts and has several tracks to explore. Some of which can go for quite some distance. Dennis Lake adjoins the forest and is popular with birdlife.
