Interested in Australia/New Zealand/Asia swaps any time. NO DECEMBER-JANUARY-FEBRUARY SWAPS DURING YOUR WINTER (we have already done a few thanks and prefer hot locations over our summer!). If you have a house in the northern hemisphere then we would consider a non-simultaneous swap (our summer for your summer). Swaps can be simultaneous or non-simultaneous. Close to Melbourne Grand Prix track.
Our house is an 1870s fully renovated Victorian mansion. It is huge - over 400sqm with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, formal dining room, two living/family rooms, full laundry, two home offices. There is access to a fourth double bedroom but only with advanced notice and approval. We also have a gorgeous, leafy and private back garden complete with deck, fish pond (house swappers will be required to feed the fish) and offstreet secure car parking for two cars (remote control roller door). The area is buzzing but once you are inside our house, it is perfectly peaceful and quiet. The backyard in particular is a haven away from the city. The house has a lovely mix of antiques and contemporary furnishings. We have a library wall full of English language novels. We have central heating throughout and AC to keep the house cool in summer. There is WiFi.
We also have a holiday house in Kyneton (70 minutes north of Melbourne), which is available for rent or swap. Kyneton is a foodie centre for country Victoria and is also central to lots of cellar doors; the mineral springs area of Daylesford and the central goldfields area of Victoria.

Melbourne has been voted one of the world's most liveable cities and the waterside area of St Kilda is one of its most vibrant and trendy. At the back of our house is a large and leafy Botanic Gardens. Within easy walking distance from our house are over 50 restaurants and cafes plus a safe and calm swimming beach. A car would be useful but not necessary. There is public transport easily accessible and Melbourne CBD is only 15 minutes by tram from the end of our street.

We are married and in our mid 40s. Our house has been a labour of love with lots of renovations to make is a truly beautiful home. Jonathan is a motoring journalist and Jenny publishes guidebooks on beautiful places to stay in Australia (see http://www.beautifulaccommodation.com as well as being a freelance travel writer. We love travelling and eating! We would love to get to know our fellow exchangers in advance.
As we are both freelancers, we are very flexible with timing for house swaps. There are only two of us, but we have two sets of very close friends (also childfree) with whom we often travel. Therefore, there may be 2 or 4 or 6 in our swap party (depending on the size of your house). We can easily accommodate four couples (each in their own large bedroom). There is an extra single bed in one of the bedrooms. We are married and in our mid 40s. Our house has been a labour of love with lots of renovations to make is a truly beautiful home.
