Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Eleebana, Lake Macquarie , NSW
Hi, I’m Laura and I would be travelling with my two girls (10 & 12) and our 1 year old cavoodle Louie. We have successfully completed two house swaps now and we love them! The girls are respectful of other people’s houses and Louie is toilet trained and does not shed. My parents might also join us on occasion. We are mainly looking for swaps in school holidays but I can also do anytime if within 2-3 hours of Sydney as I commute to Sydney for work 1 day a week.

We really enjoyed staying at Laura's home at Eleenbana, the kids loved swimming in the pool every day, and the lake and beautiful beaches are all very close. Laura was very easy to deal with when booking, and left my place looking spotless, so I would happily recommend a swap with Laura.

Thank you Laura and family for an amazing holiday. We really enjoyed our week, Lake Macquarie is a beautiful part of the world. Laura provided very helpful information on the house and local attractions. We enjoyed exploring Lake Macquarie and relaxing at home, it felt like home away from home. We returned to an immaculate house. I would highly recommend a swap with Laura and family.
