Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Mooroolbark, VIC
We are a retired couple, engineer and teacher, who love exploring new places. We particularly love hiking, canoeing, whale watching.... being in nature. Our three sons live down Geelong/The Point and we love to visit them as much as discovering somewhere new.

Liz and Clive were wonderful guests. They stayed at our holiday house in Greens Beach for 10 days and everything went really well. They were very easy to communicate with, enthusiastic, flexible and positive. It was great to know they were enjoying Tasmania. Everything went like clockwork, they left the place immaculate. Really couldn't of wished for friendlier or more responsible guests

Liz and Clive were an absolute pleasure to swap with. Communication was always easy and enjoyable over the phone or via text. Their home is beautiful, peaceful and immaculate. They cared for our pets during the swap and also left the home exceptionally clean on return. We loved this swap as they are trustworthy and honest people, we can highly recommend for future swaps.
