Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Worrigee, Nowra, Nowra, Shoalhaven, NSW
We are both retired school teachers. Roy taught High School Science and Agriculture and Ona taught Primary School and Music. We both love classical music, especially opera. We are members of the Shoalhaven Lydian Singers (a community choir), Southland (an international performing choir) and Music Shoalhaven . Roy plays piano and Ona is a lyric soprano soloist. We enjoy having concerts in our home. Because we love music, art and architecture, gardens and history we are keen to visit Europe again. We are also keen to see Western Australia. We have had two house exchanges in Austria and three in Germany and have absolutely loved them. We have also had two house exchanges in Australia. We have also had the opportunity to share our home on a hospitality basis three times, which was great fun, too. We are also deeply involved in our church in Berry.

Our home is set in a group of villas very close to a National park and the beautiful, lush, rural countryside of the pristine Shoalhaven, with its magnificent river, beaches and bays and highlands.
Multi-coloured birds carol their songs around our home including some very inquisitive kookaburras in a magnificent stand of eucalyptus trees visible from the house.
Large windows and open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area open onto a small but floriferous back yard.
Any time and is a delightful time to be in the Shoalhaven, with weather that can draw everyone to beach and seaside activities or to walks in the countryside and up on the hinterland.
Of course, if you'd like a short visit to Sydney for a dose of city life...it's only 2 1/2 hours north.
