Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Coolum Beach, Sunshine Coast, QLD
Now retired from business. We spend lots of activities like golf, ocean swimming and surfing, walking, ski paddling in our local area. Spend time with grand children teaching them swimming and surfing. All the fun stuff and then we give them back. We are very fit and active people. Having experienced a great deal of overseas travel now we would like to see more of Australia. We both love good design and interiors so a house swap with good characteristics would be great but ultimately position is what would appeal to us.

We had a fabulous swap at Patricia and John's house. Situated at one of the highest viewpoints in Coolum, the views north and south were breathtaking and expansive. We spent long afternoons and evenings on the deck overlooking the ocean. The kitchen was well-appointed, and we preferred to stay in and have dinner to enjoy the sunsets most evenings. On waking, the birds were plentiful in the well established garden, we even saw a beautiful pheasant coucal in th backyard more than once. The pool was a great size for the kids, and warm enough to swim in the afternoon when we had spent the morning at the beach. Inside, the master and ensuite was lovely and spacious and thankfully had air conditioning.The bedrooms on the lower floor were great for kids and friends, with lots of fans available. We really enjoyed the swap and felt very lucky to have had the chance to enjoy Tricia and Johns lovely home. Tricia was very easy to communicate with, and generous and thoughtful, such as leaving us a bottle of milk for our arrival. Our home was beautifully clean when we got home, and our plants also alive which we were grateful for!! Our whole family highly recommends their property - a real beachside treasure! Thank you Trciia and John for such a positive experience all round :)

Our swap with Patricia at Coolum Beach was a truly wonderful experience. The house and the views were spectacular. We would stay on the deck for hours watching the beach and sea, where we could see for miles out where large cruise liners were stationary. Coolum Beach has everything to offer, so there is no need to travel elsewhere to find anything you require. The beach and Coolum Boardwalk is all you could want when staying by the sea. Many thanks Patricia your house was well prepared for visitors and everything was easy to use and the display folder outlined all that was needed to know.

Tricia & John's home has an awesome "wow" factor. It's beautifully situated with sensational views in one of the most stunning parts of the Australian coastline; Coolum Beach, right in the middle of the Sunshine Coast. We enjoyed many lovely days on the balcony with clear views all the way north to Noosa Heads. Quality. The home is very cleverly built for its position on the hill. It had all the facilities we could ever have hoped for including an in-ground pool for those days when it was too windy to tackle the surf. The sea breezes were most welcome. It was only a 5 - 7 minute walk to the beach front (a little longer to return as it's uphill). We were spoilt with dining & cafe options. It was only a 20 minute drive north to Noosa. The same distance heading south to Maroochydore. Day trips to the Hinterland & Brisbane were very accessible & easy. Everything was here. Communication was great too. All in all - a most enjoyable trip. Thank-you both so much for the experience.

We had an excellent swap with Tricia and John. The communication went smoothly which led to a magnificent house with incredible views over Coolum. At the other end our house was left spotless. Thanks for a great swap!!
