House Swap with us

We are a retired couple in our early 60s looking to do some travel around the world. We are proud home owners and respect other peoples belongings and space. We're looking to exchange our home with other likeminded folks looking to explore Australia and all it has to offer. WE ARE LOOKING TO TRAVEL TO NEW ZEALAND IN MARCH - APRIL. We hope to swap with a few different homes for different lengths of time. Short or long stays, we're open to different offers and looking forward to working in with you and your home's availability and movements.

The House

The House

Our home is very comfortable, fully air conditioned with split systems in both the lounge room and master bedroom. The lounge area also has a gas heater which heats the entire home during winter. There is high speed wifi throughout the home. The main bathroom in the home has a full bath and also a front loading washing machine.

If arriving in Sydney by plane, the train out of Sydney airport will take you to our local train station just 5kms away and a Uber or Taxi will cost you approx $AU13 to get you here.

The things we love about living here

  • The street we live is very quiet with no through traffic. Lake Illawarra is 400 metres away and has a walking/cycling track that takes you around the Lake. There you will see the local birdlife and 2kms from the home is a boat ramp for launching small vessels for fishing, rowing or water skiing.
  • At the other end of our street, just 300 metres away, is a bus stop that takes you to the old steelworks township of Port Kembla, where you can check out the architecture of the 1950's when the town boomed during is heyday as being an industrial port. Now it is home to cafes, restaurants, a yoga centre, a nightclub and art gallery precinct. Another bus stop 800 metres away takes you to the city centre of Wollongong, where you can walk to the lighthouse, sea pool and many restaurants that line the foreshore (see photo). Wollongong is also home to the Merrigong Theatre, Art galleries and Indigenous cultural centres. If wanting to travel further afield, you can catch a bus to the train station 5kms away and travel up to Sydney. 80% of the trip is through the Royal National Park so settle back and enjoy the view. Trains run every hour from dawn until midnight. If driving by freeway up to Sydney, you can take the M1 Motorway.

Vicki's house in Wollongong was perfect for my time in Australia. The house itself was incredibly clean and organized and it had everything we needed to have a home away from home. The view from the large deck is beautiful and it was a great spot for family breakfasts and evening meals. We were thrilled with the location, with easy train links to Sydney and lots of beautiful beaches, walks and wineries to visit nearby. I would highly recommend stay here.
