General overview

Our home is recently renovated, clean tidy and spacious. it has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 living spaces and well appointed kitchen and seperate office. It is on a hill behind town, walking distance to shops and although there are lots of homes near by, it feels peaceful and private with views or the farm behind. 
I am house proud  and will make sure it is pristine for your stay. That being said it is a family home and we want you to feel comfortable here.

The space

This is a spacious family home with 3 living spaces, a dining room, an office, and 4 bedrooms. the large master suite has a huge ensuite with a bath and a king-size bed. The 3 other rooms are close to the family bathroom., One room with a queen bed, one with a double, and one with a single bed and trundle. Other features include lock-up garage, central heating, cooling and a gas fireplace. 
outdoors is a small basketball court, a Plunge pool, that is gas heated so can be used throughout the seasons and a sunken entertaining/ fire pit area. there is also a lawn for the kids to play and lots of enclosed space to enjoy. 
We live in a town so are lucky enough to be within walking distance to the shops, cafes,  restaurants and train station.

Guest access

There are 3 ways into the home, one is relatively flat with just one step to get in, best access for wheelchairs or strollers. The front door entrance does have a few steps to enter

Notes

Our cars will be here, we would also consider the lending of one of the cars during the exchange and would also consider leaving it at the airport for guests to use as transport home if doing a simultaneous swap. We are open to lots of negotiations. 
We are also considering getting a caravan to travel around the country in so would also consider that in the swap if interested and available. 
We also have friends with holiday homes in some of the most delightful countryside in the state that too might be able to be utilized at the time of the swap. We want you to get the most out of the exchange!

Neighbourhood

Beaconsfield is a lovely safe community, between Beaconsfield and  neighbouring suburb Berwick you will find lots of delicious cafes and restaurants and be less than a Kilometer to the train station. there are beautiful bush walks from the end of the road where you will hear the sounds of bellbirds and maybe even see a Kangaroo or Koala in the trees.
You will be 20 minutes from the Dandenong rangers. 20 minutes to the closest beach. 45 minutes to Melbourne CBD. 1 hour to Phillip Island and the famous penguin parade, Seals cove, and surf beaches. You will be 40minutes  from the brand new Gumbya World theme park, 50 minutes from the Yarra Valley Wine region and 2 hours away from the magnificent Wilsons Promontory National Park, just to name a few of my favorite places. :)

Getting to my home

you will fly into Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne and take the air shuttle to the CBD and a train to Beaconsfield. or catch a Taxi or potentially pick up our car from the airport parking. 
The drive can be well over an hour in peak times, so the amount of joy driving will bring would depend on the time of the flights

Nearest airport

70 min

Getting around

1km to the train station, less to the local supermarket and shops and pubs and cafes/restaurants.

Hello, I am Shanae, I am a Nurse and Midwife with postgraduate diplomas in Family and Children's health. My husband Marc operates an electrical contracting business.
We have 3 beautiful kids’ boy 11, girl 10 and little boy 6. They are all very sporty and with a British dad, my boys are Soccer/football mad! 
When asked where they would like to go most in the world, they said England because they want to see the Soccer!  When asked if they wanted to go to the Soccer or Disneyland, they still chose soccer!! 
This suits me because I lived in London in my early 20s and it will be 20 years, next year since I left on that adventure and reflecting on this makes me very nostalgic and desperate to go back.
I recently learnt about house swaps and thought this would be the perfect way to see as much of the world as possible, while sharing our lovely home with some of you. I am excited to share our part of the world and help you make the most of all wonders we have here in Melbourne and throughout Victoria :)

We would love to start our home swapping lifestyle, sometime next year, with a family in the UK, London and surrounds, But are open to anywhere in the world really! We would ideally stay over The Easter or September school holiday break for 3-6 weeks but would also be thrilled to come in the Eurpean winter so that you can experience Australia in Summer!
