Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Corlette, Port Stephens, Nelson Bay, NSW
We are retired professional couple in our 60s. We love living by the sea and particularly like the temperate climate and all the activities Port Stephens has to offer. Our 3 bedroom home is comfortable, spacious, has amazing views and is a short walk to a beautiful sandy beach. We are looking to swap for city experiences, particularly Melbourne and surrounds. We visit Melbourne's often to catch up with children and grand children. We enjoy the footy, concerts, art gallery and foodie experiences in Melbourne. We have done many successful house swaps have found it works really well. Our place is 2.5 hrs drive from Sydney, 1 - 1.5 hour flight from Melbourne and 30 minutes drive from Newcastle/Port Stephens airport (numerous flights to Melbourne daily). Port Stephens coaches offer an express service from Sydney Central that will bring you to the bottom of our street. There are also local buses from Newcastle train stations. We keep our home maintained to a high standard and would look after yours in the same way. We are non-smokers.

We just returned from a lovely family holiday at Port Stephens. Barbara's house was a well-located, spacious house which was great for al fresco dining and relaxing. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the bike path into town. There was lots of space for my family to spread out and lots of local activities. Barbara was easy to deal with and accessible and Simon helped us happily with a few queries during our stay. I recommend her for a house swap at Port Stephens !

Lovely stay at Barbara and Simons in Corlette. Fantastic views overlooking the bay. Wonderful comfy beds and relaxing terrace to enjoy the view. Hosts very flexible and easy to contact. A great holiday in a very special place. Thank you

We had the most fabulous time staying at Barbara and Simon's house in Corlette. Their water views and gorgeous beach within walking distance were quite spectacular. There is also so much to do and see in such close proximity. We loved the whale watching from Tomaree Head. Their communication to organise the swap was excellent and they were great guests in our home. I can't recommend a swap with them highly enough!
