Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Woodwark, Airlie Beach , QLD
I’m single in my 50’s and have always loved travelling, I spent the best part of my adult life in the skiing industry and got to ski and travel to many amazing places. My life was revolved around my sports such as skiing, mountain biking, climbing, yoga and then the world stopped and so did I. I landed In Airlie Beach where I’m now have small pet sitting business and a beautiful Weimaraner and wish to start seeing some of my own country. I’m open to anywhere that will accept my dog Ness and I as she goes everywhere with me. She’s a gentle soul. My place is dog friendly with a massive yard and smaller fenced area. It’s a great location for a fun holiday, with a bon fire pit and also smaller fire pit and the star gazing is amazing. There is a locally famous pub just 5 minutes down the road with a shuttle bus that picks you up in the driveway! You can’t get a more beautiful and relaxing location.

I live on 2.5 acres about 12 minutes drive to Airlie Beach, the Heart of the Whitsundays. My place is simple but cosy and comfortable and very quiet but only 5 minutes to the main shopping centre. I have a large grass area with a massive Fig tree that gives beautiful shade and energy.
My place is a recently renovated shed with one bedroom king size bed and large living area with a pull out king size. The bathroom and kitchen is older style as was previously here, and the living area is renovated and everything has been painted to freshen up. I am on a septic tanks and drinkable bore water. For the cooking I have a great air fryer/oven and a bench top single induction hot plate and rice cooker which is perfect in my small kitchen which looks out to the big yard. I always go out for coffee so I don’t use a coffee machine.
My beautiful Weimaraner, Ness, comes with me everywhere, she is an indoor girl and sleeps on my king size bed or on her bed in my bedroom. So any swap’s would hopefully welcome Ness inside.
My place is dog friendly and dogs are also able to sleep inside. It’s set up probably more for the dogs than for me😀🐾 as I do lots of pet sitting and bought the property to accommodate dogs.
As I am single it’s a true bachelorette pad, with everything suited to one or couple or couple with one or two kids who wouldn’t mind sharing the pull out king.
I have a small fenced area in between the cabin and shed and a very big unfenced and open yard for the dogs.
A lovely young couple living in the cabin, which is right next to the shed, we chat most days but they work full time so don’t see them much, but they do come and use the washing machine inside my place once or twice a week. I don’t have a dryer. They are very trustworthy and come and go as they please to my place. But you could arrange with them suitable times for washing.
There is also plenty of room if you have a caravan or camper.

We just completed our first house swap with Vanessa and her fur baby Ness and couldn’t have had a better experience! We stayed at her place in Woodwark for about a month and absolutely loved it! It is very central, being only 10 mins away from the heart of Airlie, yet we thoroughly enjoyed being in nature every day. It is nested in a valley, very quiet and boosts plenty of wildlife such as wallabies, kookaburras etc. Her place is clean, well looked after and has all the necessary appliances. Vanessa is easy going and very respectful, we found our place exactly as we left it and must add that it was extremely clean! Even our neighbours were pleased to meet her and were raving about how nice it was to have her staying here! Connecting with Vanessa really encouraged us to continue the home swapping journey, more than just a swap we formed new friendships with her and the lovely couple who live in the cabin, near her place. We can’t wait to see them all again, either in Airlie or on Bribie!
