House Swap with us

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.

Comfortable low set brick house with tiled floors to the high traffic areas and suspended wood floors to bedrooms and lounge/dining areas. All rooms except bathrooms are equipped with ceiling fans and all living areas and bedrooms have access to ducted air conditioning. There are 4 bedrooms but one is set up as an office. We also have a wood heater for really cold nights. There are almost no really cold nights. The master bedroom has an ensuite and a walk through robe. We also have 3 mountain bikes available for use as well as a four wheel drive. The home is very easy care. We have an internet tv, Disney subscription and a computer which can record and replay free to air tv. Let us know if you prefer Netflix, Prime or Stan. We can provide either a wireless internet connection or we can also enable wifi if preferred. The main bedroom has a Queen bed and the other bedrooms have a King Single in one room and a regular single in the other.

The things we love about living here

  • We are less than 100metres from the Springwood Conservation Park. This park is home to one of the top things to do in Springwood which is the Springwood stairs of death. 132 stairs climbing from the valley below to the top of the plateau. These stairs are a popular place for people to get some exercise however the whole park is a treat to walk in with numerous tracks throughout. Once in the park you would never know you were in the middle of suburbia. We are also within a couple of kilometers to the Daisy Hill Koala Centre and Conservation Park. This park is much larger and has trails for mountain bikes, horses and walkers. At the koala center visitors can see koalas in close proximity in indoor and outdoor displays. Also you can learn a lot about the park from the informative displays inside. Entrance is free to the centre and the park and there are picnic table and barbecues where you can mingle with the wallabies, lizards and birds. People come from all over Brisbane to bike ride in the Daisy Hill conservation park. Springwood is also home to numerous excellent cafes and restaurants. We will be able to leave our recommendations although they are really all good. I love living here because I walk in the nearby park almost every day. It is also super convenient to get on the freeway and go either north or south. If you prefer public transport, public transport in Queensland is only 50 cents per trip no matter how far you are going. You can go to the Gold Coast or possibly even the Sunshine coast for 50 cents. However the Gold Coast has easier access because there are trains and trams to the Gold Coast.

The Location

The Location

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.
