Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Williamstown, Melbourne, VIC
We are a responsible, well travelled, bilingual family of two adults and two well behaved children (who turned 12 and 7 in January 2024). We are non-smokers. We enjoy exploring Australia and like to travel when possible for several weeks. We met in Hong Kong where we lived for many years, before moving to Melbourne three years ago. I am originally from Spain and I worked as an IT project manager before our children were born and my husband (who is from New Zealand) runs a recruitment business. We enjoy the outdoors and we are very happy to look after animals (we have previously enjoyed looking after several dogs, cats, chickens and other animals). We have an indoor cat and it would be lovely if you could look after her during your stay.

Our house is relatively modern (it was built in approx. 2006). We have a large open plan fully functioning kitchen/dining/living area downstairs with an outdoor patio/BBQ area and a small garden (with a trampoline for children). Upstairs we have 3 comfortable sized bedrooms (including a master bedroom which has an ensuite), a study (where an inflatable double bed, which we have, can easily be set up) and a lounge (which is used as a play area by our two children). The main bedroom has a king size bed, one of the children's bedrooms has a single and a trundle bed, and the second children's bedroom has a double bed. We have wifi and Netflix.
The property is well fenced and secure. We also have a double garage, with bikes, a kayak, a paddle-board and we have lots of toys/scooters etc for children.
