Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Forster, Forster/Tuncurry , NSW
We are a rainbow family, sometimes there are six of us, sometimes 4 and other times just us as a couple. This is our family apartment in Forster, where I grew up. We are based between here and the central coast. Which means we can be flexible with house swaps. We are travellers and both spent many years working in international humanitarian projects. These days the travel is a little more local.

We spend our time between the Forster Apartment and Central Coast NSW- as a family our size expands or decreases between 6 down to 2 if it's just Leigh and I travelling.
