The House

Our home is a lovely 5 bedroom house with pool and walking distance to the beach and lagoon. It is a modern home and will give you all you need for your swap holiday. We take pride in our home and will do the same in yours. It is a family home with a separate kids activity room, which can be closed off from the main dining area by sliding doors (handy when kids want to play and the adults want to relax) the activity room have access to the garden and adjoins three bedrooms (two single beds, one room with double bed). The pool is adjoining to the dining/kitchen area (easy to view the kids when cooking/eating) and perfect when entertaining guests. There is a separate media room. At the front of the house are the other two bedrooms, which one is used as sewing room and currently not set up as a bedroom. We have a little dog and would prefer people who are dog friendly. Yet if doggie is a problem, we can make arrangements for her to stay with a doggie friend :)
