Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Sandy Bay, TAS
Matt works as a Manager at the University and Fiona is a Sonographer. Our boys are aged 23 and 21 and occasionally travel with us. We all enjoy the beach and the outdoors. We love our holidays and have travelled as a family extensively throughout Australia, Asia and Europe. We have a 4 year old labrador Jobe, who loves going for a walk. We would gladly look after your pets. In 2015, we did a swap to Cooroy, and to Brisbane in 2016.

It would serve as an ideal base to explore further afield and all the natural beauty Tasmania has to offer.

We had a terrific time at Fiona and Matt's beautiful house in Sandy Bay, Hobart. Very welcoming family and gave us lots of tips on what to see and do during our stay. They were great guests at our house and left the place spick and span. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
