Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Marrickville, Inner West Sydney, NSW
We’re a creative inner-west crew who love stories, adventures, and good food. Mum is an art director with an eye for beauty, Dad is an animator who brings worlds to life, our 21-year-old son is half out of the nest studying at university (but often joins us on our travels), and our 14-year-old daughter is a curious student with big ideas. Add in our bouncy 4-year-old Aussie Shepherd and life is never dull. When we’re not sharing meals together or discovering new places to eat, you’ll find us on surf breaks, ski slopes, or bush tracks—or curled up for a family movie night. We’re especially interested in surf holidays between July–September, ski adventures in Canada or Japan in January, and London in June or July, but we’re flexible and always open to other destinations and dates.
