There is 1 endorsement for this house swap member:
Lyn and her family took great care of our dog and our house. The swap was easy to organise, with easy and good communication. We enjoyed staying in Yandina, the house was comfortable. The ginger factory in Yandina is a great place to visit, and there are plenty of beaches within easy reach.
