House Swap with us

We are a professional couple with 3 daughters aged 18, 16 and 14. We love travelling and have recently returned from a fabulous European holiday (leaving our 18 year old behind as part of her gap year experience). We are currently looking for a house swap after Xmas for 7 to 14 days anywhere on the coast/near the beach in northern NSW or Southern Queensland. Any time between 26 December 2024 and 12 January 2025 (we are back to work on Monday 13 January). We have had 3 fantastic house swaps to date with Aussie House Swap (2 in Queensland and one in Northern NSW) and are looking forward to doing it again.

The House

The House

A fabulous nearly new home in Ryde/Putney, Sydney, 20 minutes from the CBD.

With ducted air conditioning throughout, the house has 5 bedrooms (all with ceiling fans) - 4 bedrooms upstairs (master with a king bed, two rooms with a queen bed, one bedroom with a king single bed & trundle mattress underneath) and one bedroom downstairs with a queen bed.

There are 2 large living areas, one upstairs and one downstairs, both with smart TVs (with Netflix), a study and a library (quiet parents room) at the front of the house. Unlimited wifi is available.

There are 3 bathrooms - downstairs a powder room with shower, upstairs the main bathroom and an ensuite to the master bedroom, both with baths and showers.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would expect - we have a Smeg gas cook top and electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, double fridge with water dispenser and a great kitchen island which seats 4.

Out the back, we have an in-ground gas heated pool (7m by 4.5m) and large springfree trampoline.

As the girls are getting older, toys have started to disappear a bit, but we have lots of board games, puzzles and other bits and bobs for families.

We spend most of the summer outside on our large covered alfresco terrace with both a lounge area and dining area, outdoor kitchen with a built in BBQ, sink & double fridge.

Car swap is negotiable - we have a Honda Odessey (7 seater) which we would be happy to swap if it is not coming with us!

The things we love about living here

  • Close to Sydney CBD (20 mins by bus, 35 mins by ferry), with bus stop 5 mins walk away and ferry 5 mins drive away (with free parking).
  • Walking/running/cycling along the riverside, great tracks off road from Kissing Point to Parramatta, as well as crossing over to Sydney Olympic Park and surrounds.
  • 5 minutes walk to local Putney village with great cafes and a couple of restaurants.
  • Entertaining on the alfresco with kids splashing around in the pool.

The Location

The Location

We are a short walk (less than 1km) through parkland to Putney Village, with its (4) local cafes, (3) restaurants, a small IGA supermarket, a newsagent, post office and chemist.

Our home is a 5 minute walk to the main bus route into the Sydney CBD, with buses running every 5 minutes and the journey taking between 20 and 30 minutes (depending on traffic). We are also a 5 minute drive to Kissing Point with ferries into town (plenty of free parking at the ferry) - less frequent, but a lovely way to go to town, passing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and in front of the Opera House (I take the ferry to and from work each day).

Meadowbank train station (with trains to town and the airport) is also less than 2 km away.

Top Ryde Shopping Centre (with 100s of stores including Coles, Woolies, Aldi, Kmart and Big W, plus numerous restaurants and an Events cinema) is a 5 minute drive/15 minute walk away. We are also only a 15 minute drive from Macquarie Shopping Centre (even more shops - more cinemas, an ice skating rink and bowling).

For those who are more active, there are kilometres and kilometres of off-road walking/running/cycling tracks along the riverside (5 mins from our house), from Kissing Point to Parramatta, as well as crossing over the river to Sydney Olympic Park and surrounds, with parks and cafes.
