Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Mayfield East, Newcastle, NSW
We are a family of four - myself (Emma), my partner Noel, and our 5yo daughter and 2yr old son. We love being outdoors, at the beach, and exploring new places. We are non-smokers and have no pets. Noel has an allergy to cats and dogs, so we wouldn't be able to stay anywhere that has indoor pets. We have family in Coffs Harbour and Sydney, so very open to swaps there. We are just beginning to consider overseas swaps.

We had a fabulous stay at Emma's home and her communication was excellent. The house was clean, comfortable and in a good location. She left our home exactly as we had left it. Highly recommend.

My family and I loved our stay at Emma's cute cottage in Newcastle Despite the rain and floods we made it work both ends and lovely the open fire place and relaxed with cards and games happy not to have TV. Veggie garden was a real hit with my adult sons who loved your design Thankyou Emma your home is lovely
