Twin Waters is on the Sunshine Coast, only 10 minutes drive to Mooloolaba and Maroochydore, 25 minutes to Noosa and 1 hour to Brisbane. Just a few minutes walk from our home is the Twin Waters Golf Course where kangaroos can be seen grazing at the end of the day. We are close to Mudjimba beach, a stunning strip of white sand, stretching 8 kilometres from the Maroochy River to the Hyatt Coolum Beach Resort.

The Sunshine Coast has some excellent restaurants (try "The Loaded Lizard" and "Bluefish" beside Mudjimba beach), great shopping - including the markets of Eumundi and the craft stores of the mountain villages - fishing, surfing, diving, kayaking, sailing and other sporting facilities. A 30 minute drive will take you to the Blackall Ranges for some dramatic terrain and spectacular views of mountains, valleys, rainforests and the Pacific Ocean. Whilst 3 hours to the north is Fraser Island with its acclaimed golden beaches ... and Hervey Bay for whale watching.

We are close to Sunshine Coast Airport which has regular low-cost services with Virgin and Jetstar direct to Sydney and Melbourne. Brisbane International Airport is an hour away with a shuttle bus service to our home.

We are Bee and Derek, a "mature" couple, semi-retired (he isn't, she is!), well travelled and originally from England. Having swapped homes over 40 times, we now consider ourselves quite experienced exchangers! The concept has brought us many new friends and provided opportunities to explore some wonderful places; often far away from the usual tourist haunts.

We are open to all exchange suggestions although we do not ski and are happiest in warmish climates. Non-simultaneous swaps are no problem for us as we have another home in Brisbane. We have one independent easy-care cat (who would not necessarily be in residence) and would be pleased to look after yours. Unfortunately our home is not suitable for children.
