Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Warriewood, Sydney Northern Beaches , NSW
We are a family of four - mum, dad and our two children aged 6 and 13. We enjoy nature in all its forms. Dad loves to go camping both with the children and on his own. Mum loves hiking and exploring wilderness, swimming in the creeks and waterfalls. Our children are used to go on long hikes and grew to love the experience and rewards it brings. Keira our 13 year old is an artist and a bookworm all in one. She also plays piano and loves to bake. Vania our little boy loves animals and can't go past a dog without patting it. He collects all the seeds and berries fallen from trees on our walks with him. He loves building with Lego and follows his sister everywhere. We opened the doors of our home in the past when we were part of couch surfing community for many years. We used the platform to host people from different parts of the world as well as explore the world ourselves staying at different people's houses. It has been an amazing experience and opened our hearts and minds to new possibilities and the beauty and kindness of this world. We would like to welcome you to our home and our neighbourhood while we enjoy visiting other parts of Australia and overseas.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Yulia’s. The house is convenient and comfortable and the location is superb. There is a lot to see and do on the beautiful Northern Beaches and it was great to have the use of a very nice car for our sightseeing. Yulia and her family took good care of my house and they took special care of the garden during a hot, dry time of year. Communication with Yulia was easy and pleasant. A very satisfactory swap. Thanks Yulia and Tim

Everything that Yulia said in her endorsement I could say the same! This was our first swap and if this is the standard and etiquette of Aussie House Swaps then we couldn't be happier! It gives us confidence moving forward with future swaps. Yulia's house was spotless and we felt right at home. We had common interests and felt the exchange was meaningful. We both kept in contact throughout the exchange offering each other local tips and felt connected. I highly recommend Julia for future swaps, and would find the experience at her place hard to beat.
