Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in glenelg south, The Bay, SA
I'm an active retiree, keen to travel whenever possible and usually with one of my adult children. Our interests include walking, bike riding and sight-seeing in general. We are flexible with dates and interested in short and long-term exchanges and most locations. I have children and grandchildren in Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns so they are desirable destinations but I also love to try new and different experiences.

My friend and I had an outstanding stay in Valerie's beautiful cottage which was full of charm. The garden out the back was perfect for sitting and watching the numerous birds fly by. The suburb of Glenelg South is historic and full of architectural interest. Nearby cafes and shops were excellent for us. The beach is so close that it was easy to stroll there. The tram to the city was exceptional value and very efficient. Thanks so much for swapping, Valerie!

We had a wonderful stay at the home of Valerie in South Glenelg. Valerie's home is in a quiet area, surrounded by a private garden alive with colour. We made frequent trips to the beach, a very short walk away. We made visits to both McLaren Vale and to the Barossa, wine famous districts both easily accessible by car. Valarie is a most gracious hostess, and we immensely appreciated visiting Valerie's home.
Denis from Ashgrove QLD (Nov 2024)
We had a great stay in Adelaide. Valerie and Martin are experienced exchangers and gave us plenty of helpful advice for our first swap. The house is very comfortable and just a short stroll to the beautiful beach. Easy access to tram and bus stops for trips into the city and only a short drive to the McClaren Vale Wine region. A lovely swap - thanks again!
