Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Long Gully, BENDIGO, VIC
We are Colin and Anthea, a semi-retired couple and an ex-teacher and journalist, who have lived in Bendigo for 13 years. We have previously been part of another house swap network and had many successful exchanges both around Australia and internationally. We love gardening, walking and spending time with our grandchildren and good friends. We enjoy being out in nature as much as we can. On occasions, we like to take our grandchildren away for short breaks.

Colin and Anthea provided an immaculate cottage with beautifully large bedrooms, a new kitchen and large modern bathroom. The garden was very pretty in Autumn with red leaves along the back veranda. Bendigo offered wonderful activities. We visited the famous Bendigo pottery and saw glass bead making as well as sculptures and antiques. We went on the talking tram and explored the gold mine. We loved the grandeur of the Bendigo Cathedral. The botanical gardens and art gallery were exquisite. Elvis was represented everywhere. Thanks to Colin and Anthea for the delicious baked goods they left for us to enjoy! Highly recommended.
