Surrey Hills is a well established suburb with beautiful trees, parks and many high quality homes. We are close to public transport (less than 10 minutes walk) to both rail and tram for easy access to the city. Local shopping, supermarkets, library and ladies gym are within walking distance with extended shopping, markets, movie theatres a 10 minute drive.
Melbourne offers excellent theatre, film and concert opportunities with many good restaurants (some say the best in the world for variety and quality) to suit all tastes. Locally there are several restaurants and cafes within walking distance.
Melbourne has won the world's most live able city award several times.
the state of Victoria has much to offer the visitor with mountains, beaches, wineries, golf courses etc within day trip distance.
Melbourne is also regarded as not only the cultural centre of Australia but the sporting capital as well.

Geoff and I are retired professionals, Geoff a communications engineer and I (Jan) was an academic. We have owned houses for over 40 years and know how to care for a property. In 2011 We decided to really "see USA" by living there in . We spent an amazing 5 months using 4 swaps and staying with families. We have previously travelled extensively in Europe and Asia and enjoy taking time to enjoy places rather than the whistle stop tour.
It is not important to be in the centre of a major city, as long as there is close access to transport, shopping etc. We expect to drive a car.
We enjoy good food and wine, we visit museums and go to the theatre and movies. We play a lot of bridge and generally enjoy pottering about in our home and garden spending time with friends.
We would look after your home as if it was our own.
We speak some French, have passing knowledge of Italian.
We prefer retired/mature persons. Our home is not childproof!
