Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Kernot, Bass Coast South Gippsland , VIC
We, Pete and Kerena (Kerry) are both very local to this area! Both of our families have lived and farmed here since the late 1800s! As well as initially managing a dairy, beef cattle and sheep together, Kerena is now retired from part-time nursing & midwifery, and Peter continues to sing and play guitar in two bands. In our late 60s, we're delighted to have our sons and young grandchildren nearby and we enjoy lots of family time. We both love to travel, but we're also very proud and pleased to live in this beautiful part of the World. We love visitors!! We enjoy around 3,000 guests to our 'hill' during NYE on The Hill, but it's fairly quiet the rest of the year.
