Our house is a large 4 bedroom 2 bathroom with games room, dining area and lounge, in the suburbs of Perth Western Australia. We are 25 km from Perth city and 20 minutes drive from the beach, 10 minutes from a large regional shopping centre that has great shops and lots of restaurants and pubs. We also have a brand new supermarket 2 streets from our house. We are in a new suburb and our house is 8 years old. We have a beautiful garden with French doors that open from the main bedroom onto the verandah and garden. Our backyard has a 6 seater table and hammock and a deck. We have a small backyard with a trampoline for kids.
Our house is beautifully decorated with large bedrooms and high ceilings, full length windows that let in a lot of natural light. We have a king size bed in our bedroom, a king single bed and single size roll out bed/trundle in our daughters bedroom. We also have a toddler mattress and a very comfortable inflatable mattress (I am fussy about mattresses!).
We prefer reciprocal exchanges with car exchange (if possible). We have a 4 year old Kia Sportage.

Neighbourhood
Western Australia is sunny and relaxing, if you were to stay at our house we recommend:
- Piara Waters farmers market every 2nd Saturday
- Food truck Friday at Shipwreck park
- Dinner, drinks and icecream at Elizabeth Quay in the middle of the city, beautiful views!
- take the ferry to Rottnest Island and see the Quokkas, go snorkling or ride bikes to the lighthouse. There is a TedTalk about our quokkas here https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=30&v=BFQbyPTrDqw&feature=emb_logo
- The new museum is world class, level 3 is the best but the geology room is also phenomenal and we have a piece of the moon there
- Core cider house and surrounding fruit orchards, you can get a delicious meal and go fruit picking
- going to the movies and out for dinner at Carousel shopping centre. Newly renovated and doubled in size, you could easily spend an entire day there.
- Horse riding early in the morning or late in the afternoon in summer in the Australian bush
-Perth zoo is constantly holding events and you can feed the giraffes
- Swan Valley wineries and breweries located 30 mins drive away including cheese, honey, chocolate and coffee tasting
- Beach at Cockburn located 20 mins drive
- We live in a family-oreinted area so we have some phenomenal parks for kids - Robot Park, Shipwreck Park, Mills Park, Beeliar Regional Park has giant turtles and a splash pad
- Take the train into Perth for dinner, a show, shopping or a picnic at Kings Park
- Touch Australian animals at Caversham Wildlife Park or Armadale Reptile Centre
- go to the Kanyana wildlife hospital in the Perth hills and see the animals
- The Pinnacles are amazing, google them! It's like an alien landscape.
- Day out at historical Fremantle, tour of the former Fremantle Prison built by convicts. You can get to Fremantle via train very easily. They have tours of the tunnels underneath too and the weekend Fremantle Markets are famous
- A long weekend down at Margaret River (lots of wine, food and produce, beaches, surfing, caves, icecream)
- Day trip to Hillarys Boat Harbour or Adventure World
- Drive up to York and go hot air ballooning - about an 1.5 hr drive but its nice to see the Wheatbelt region especially in spring when we have world famous wildflowers
- Try water sports, there are a lot of places where you can go jet skiing, out on a fishing boat, whale watching, learn to surf, snorkling. Perth is all about getting out and about in nature or the ocean, reading a book at the beach then go to a nice pub for dinner.
-If you fancy, you can go swimming with sealions at Jurien Bay.
- We have some really nice new family friendly pubs in the area, roughly 5 to 10 minute drive
- If you are coming in school holidays I can recommend some school holiday programs for kids (free or paid). We have a OSH club up the road that takes kids on fun excursions during school holidays if you fancy a break or want to go out without the kids for a day.
- if you don't drive we live in an area with regular buses and a lot of Uber drivers but public transport in Perth is pretty slow.
Explore the rest of Australia! You could head up to the Outback and see Ularu or Karijini National Park, fly or take the train to Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney. Head up north to Monkey Mia or Kalbari, or head down south to Albany. Exmouth is amazing too, go swimming with whales.
Getting to my home
We are 5 km from the train station and there is a bus that runs past our house which connects to the station.
Easiest to get around by car in Perth. For reciprocal exchanges we can offer use or our car and two kids car seats.
Nearest airport
Perth airport, its 20 mins away
Getting around
We have a new supermarket built just at the end of the street.

Rochelle’s house is perfect for families. It’s immaculately clean and offers plenty of space, making it comfortable for everyone. The modern, fully equipped kitchen is great for home-cooked meals, and the kids loved the playroom, filled with toys, and the mud kitchen in the backyard. The location is very convenient, with several shops just a short walk away, and a charming playground right next door—perfect for families with kids. Rochelle was very easy to communicate with. Thank you Rochelle and family for a great stay! -
We absolutely loved their very beautifully presented home and the dogs/cat were a delight to look after during our stay. The dogs are such little characters and are very friendly especially with our little son. The home is close to a Coles, Maccas, IGA, and a few smaller shops (cafe/newsagent etc), a park area for kids (plus plenty more around!) which each evening we took our son there lots of kids were happily playing with one another. It’s quite central to everything south of the city and just a bit further to get to places like AQWA :-) -
What can I say , we had an amazing time at Rochelle and Chris beautiful and comfortable home. We couldn't have asked for a better family. Rochelle communicated clearly and allowed choices which made us more comfortable before the exchange. She did a video to show me where everything was. This made us feel really at home at her house Let's not forget their house is beautiful and clean and makes it so much easier. Thank you guys I hope you feel as comfortable at our place when the time comes as we did at yours .

We are a small family of three; myself, my husband and our daughter. My husband works in IT and I am an Environmental Scientist. We have lived in Perth WA our whole lives but love to travel, we have done Airbnb and CouchSurfing before we had our daughter, and now we love home exchanging!
