Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Unanderra, Illawarra, NSW
We are a family of 6. I (Elise) am a primary school teacher/chaplain. Barton my husband is an engineer. We have four kids aged 6, 4, 3, and 7 months. We enjoy beach swims together, bush walks, lazy days at parks and snuggling up reading books together. We would treat your house with the utmost respect and care for it as if it were our own. We are new to the house swap idea and have a bit of free time between now and late 2024 so would like to explore more of the world around us (near and far) in that time. We love where we live and hope you will too.
