Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Dingly village, Bayside Melbourne, VIC
Hi! We’re the Pataud family, a warm, friendly family based in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs. We’re a family of five: myself who is a family couch, my wife who is an engineer, and our three boys, who are kind-hearted, curious, and love exploring new places together. We’re big on experiencing life as a family, beach walks, nature trails, local cafés, weekend sport, and discovering new places whenever we can. Our boys love adventure, but they’re also gentle, respectful, and very used to being in other people’s homes. They understand how to take care of a space and treat it as if it were their own. At home, we prioritise good manners, gratitude, and leaving things better than we found them.
