What a wonderful visit to Tasmania we had. Shearwater is such a lovely part of the world and Natasha‘s house was immaculate and peaceful. With stunning views and a gorgeous little dog we fell in love with, we enjoyed a superb family holiday in this house-swap. Minutes walk from the beach and wonderfully comfortable space to relax in with the family. Thank you Natasha for swapping your home with us, as well as your car which allowed us to go exploring around the area. We returned home to a perfectly clean and tidy home ourselves, and appreciated the few photographs of our pets they sent while we were away. We highly recommend Natasha’s lovely family home for a Houseswap, you will not be disappointed!

We recently had the pleasure of swapping houses with Natasha's family in Shearwater, Tasmania, and it was a great experience and a memorable holiday. The house was lovely, spacious, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The layout was perfect, especially for our kids who had plenty of room to play and relax. The view from the house was beautiful. The location of the house couldn't have been better. Being so close to the beach allowed us to easily enjoy leisurely walks and make the most of the coastal scenery. There is a Parkrun within a short walking distance at the surf club. The location of Shearwater served as an excellent base for exploring Northern Tasmania. Natasha and her family also perfectly cared for our home during their stay, leaving it super clean and tidy. We would welcome and recommend a house swap with Natasha anytime. Thank you!

We had a really fabulous swap with Tash and Brent and their boys. They were great sitters and our cats were well socialised! Gardens watered and a lovely clean house to come back to. Their house was amazing - modern and spacious but nice and warm for a month of Tassie autumn. The area is gorgeous- lots of nature and particularly penguins and potoroos. Highly recommend.

We had a terrific 2 week stay at Natasha and Brent home with their dog Coco. A lovely large house with everything you need, close to the beach, surf club & riding tracks. This was a terrific stay with plenty of day trips in the surrounding area. We would recommend a stay here at Shearwater for sure

We've just completed a most enjoyable house-swap with Natasha & Brent in their beautiful and comfortable home in Shearwater. They were very accommodating, easy to communicate with and left our home clean & tidy. Shearwater is a beautiful location and ideal for exploring the NW of Tasmania. Many thanks Brent, Tash, Cooper & Jordy.

We had an excellent time in Shearwater at Natasha's home. It is a beautiful modern home with all amenities and very clean and comfortable. There were lots of nearby towns we traveled to and particularly liked LaTrobe. We found our holiday very relaxing and the local markets were fun to visit. We also viewed several historic houses and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would recommend this home for a fun swap.
