House Swap with us

We are a retired couple in our 70's that are very new to this and are wanting to swap our really cosy and very modern 2x2 ensuite Apartment here in Highgate, a suburb very close to the Perth CBD and on a bus route. There is a spare undercover car bay in our gated small complex as well as a small gym and pool. Cafes, restaurants and pubs are an 8 or 9-minute walk away. We are open to any suggestions for a month or so swap anywhere as long as its near either beaches or areas with cafes, restaurants in Queensland ie Palm Cove, Trinity Beach, Cairns, Caloundra or Pelican Waters, any nice areas. Suburbs in NSW or Melbourne will be considered as we are flexible. Our only 'ASK' is you look after our home as we would yours and we look forward to hearing from you soon, have a great day.

We had a delightful stay at Steve and Margos villa which is well located in a lovely area of Perth/Fremantle. A few very minor issues were readily resolved by phone and we recommend their property to anyone seeking an exchange in an area close to all amenities.
