Home exchange and house swap holiday accommodation in Spearwood , Perth , WA
We're both retired, and we love to travel. We're open to swaps anytime and anywhere! Colin was a Submariner with over 28 years in the Australian Navy, and I worked in finance and fitness. Colin is a keen photographer and happy anywhere he can bring his cameras. I am an avid dancer (Balboa, Lindy, Salsa, Hustle, WCS) so very interested in locations with established dance scenes. Our owned dogs passed in Oct 2017 but we have fostered 61 rescue dogs since then. We will continue to foster rescue dogs in-between trips. Of course, you are more than welcome to bring your animal(s) to our home-there is a dog door to a secure yard. Although our guest room isn't huge (you would have your own bathroom), we are open to non-simultaneous hospitality exchanges, as we enjoy the social aspects of meeting the people we exchange with.

Home built in May 2016. Solar passive design, and run fully on solar panels. Three bedrooms--but only two set up with queen beds, the third is an office. Two bathrooms (1 with bathtub), open plan kitchen/living/dining room. Decor is industrial and designed to be easy to clean. All tile floors (in slab heating in some rooms), aircon only in master bedroom, solar passive design is comfortable in other rooms even in Fremantle summer. Wheelchair accessible (extra wide halls and doorways, no hobs in bathrooms.) There is a small covered alfresco and a large, back garden, complete with raised veggie beds and fruit trees.
I enjoy cooking so the kitchen is well equipped. (Oven, Steam Oven, Warming drawer, Induction cooktop, Thermomix, one stainless bench top for baking.)

Stayed in this spacious home close to Fremantle and beaches. The home is around the corner to shops making it convenient. Would recommend this stay as we felt at home.

Deb and Colin treated our home as their own. They showed courteous by contacting us any time they had a question or request. We returned to a clean home.
