General Overview
Having a double waterfront and bush on one side it feels almost like you are on a private island. Waterviews throughout and close to nature with a myriad of magnificent birdlife! The location is very convenient with the airport just a 15 minute drive away, Maroochydore city also just 15 minutes drive and local shops and restaurants closer again. Although close the flight paths do not go over our property, so very peaceful. The home was built with an emphasis on quality throughout and we have added canal access stairs and a deck to further enhance the location. Kayak and canoe are also available.
The Space
Our home is a large 3-5 bedroom with multiple lounge or study areas depending on the use required. 2 very large bathrooms both with tubs the main being a spa bath. A separate 'Powder' room. Laundry and Kitchen with marble work tops. All sits on a 1000 square metre block with over 65 metres of waterfront. Double garage and extra parking area suitable for a caravan. Deck and small boat storage area.
Guest Access
All on ground floor with just 2 steps up to front door or one from garage. Completely flat access to back yard. Large canal access stairs with deep treads super easy for getting in and out of kayaks or canoe.
Notes
The pool also has a spa feature. However it can only be operated from the pool shed. At this stage we would prefer that it isn't used. There is a great spa bath in main bathroom though!

Neighbourhood
The friendliest people in our neighborhood will always say Gooday and stop for a chat or help you out. Fantastic walking and bike paths with the beach just 15 mins away by bike. For golfers we are lucky to have one of the top 6 golf courses in Australia with the internationally recognised Twin Waters Golf Club, just a 7 minute drive away. Pristine beaches of Coolum and Sunshine
just a 15 minute drive North with beautiful Noosa just 30 mins drive. Parking is difficult there though so we tend to take the bus. Maroochydore and Mooloolaba are both vibrant coastal centres and easily accessible by car. Uber is available here.
Getting to my home
Arriving by plane our home is a short 15 minutes Taxi/Uber ride away from Sunshine Coast airport. If arriving into Brisbane it is an hours drive and there is a shuttlebus available. A bus service runs between Maroochydore and Noosa every 20 minutes and the stop is a 10 minute walk away.
Nearest airport
15 minutes by car
Getting Around
Closest shops are 15-20 mins walk or 5-10mins by car. Both local shopping centres have an array of different eateries most of which will deliver. We do recommend the Taj Palace Indian restaurant. A 15 minute drive will get you to Maroochydore where you will find an amazing shopping centre, Sunshine Plaza. A spectacular Plaza built over the Maroochy river and complete with kid's boats for hire, cinemas, restaurants and even Australia's largest high ropes course complete with flying fox for the more adventurous!

This couple are so lovely. We stayed at their beautiful house for a week and we had the best time. Everything about the house is so amazing and well thought. Wonderful pool and all the facilities such as fishing, kayaking etc. They were so generous leaving us wine and chocolate and let us use their bicycle, fishing equipment etc. Lovely house and lovely couple recommend to everyone who wants to stay. You will have the best time.
Charlie and Val's home and it's surrounds are stunning! We enjoyed a week in their unique property situated on a waterway. A highlight was watching the beautiful bird life on the canal while enjoying a drink outside. Our daughter loved fishing from the dock and of course the pool. The home itself is spacious, modern and well equipped. We made use of their bikes for some local adventures. The location is perfect for exploring nearby beaches, visiting Eumundi markets and Noosa is less than 30 minutes away by car. We were fortunate to also meet Charlie and Val and spend some time with them. They gave us some excellent local information and were very easy to communicate with leading up to and during our stay.
What a fabulous, spacious, clean, comfortable, quality home. We could have stayed for ever! The icing on the cake is the pool. You honestly feel as if you're in a tropical resort, with palm trees, birds flying overhead and blue skies. Paradise.
The location is stunning being on a corner with water on two sides. Each day we walked or cycled around the local roads and paths that weave between the beautiful houses. People were so friendly and we had lovely chats with several locals. The nearby coffee shop serves delicious coffee and we were good customers, going most days!
The long, sandy beach is very close and great for a good leg stretch.
We had easy and friendly communication with Charlie and Val prior to and during the exchange.
Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful stay at Charlie and Val’s home in Twin Waters. The house was beautifully presented and we had plenty of space for all of our kids to enjoy their holiday. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space and swimming pool.
There is plenty to do in the local area from beaches, walking, shops (for our teen!) and the local markets.
Communication with Charlie and Val was super easy with a great manual containing key info and a WhatsApp chat that meant we could touch base as needed.
I would recommend Charlie and Val’s place to anyone considering the Sunshine Coast, thank you for being great hosts.
We spent six very pleasant days with Charles and Val. They were wonderful hosts who wanted to welcome us very well and make our stay memorable. We met their very nice friends during barbecues.
Their house is very modern and spacious in a very beautiful area with stunning views.
We are looking forward to welcoming Charles and Val to our home in the south of France.
Had a wonderful time at Charlie and Val's beautiful home on the Sunshine Coast. Well situated and convenient for all the local attractions and very easy to get around. We had a lovely relaxing time enjoying their stunning position right on the water.
Charles and Val are wonderful and very considerate guests. I highly recommend exchanging with them and they are welcome back any time. They left my home completely clean so everything was easy upon my return. Thank you for this exchange!
Lovely people kept home very nice and clean and communicated everything in advance.
Charlie and Val are wonderful exchangers leaving our house very clean and tidy going the extra mile to make up beds etc ready for the next exchangers. House plants were watered and mail collected. We were greeted at their house with a very nice bottle of wine; thank you!
Highly recommend exchanging with Charlie and Val.
Charles and Val will come to us in France in 2025.
It was lovely having you stay in our apartment with Maggie. It was easy to communicate and the apartment was left neat and tidy. So glad you enjoyed your stay in Sydney, and we're looking forward to our stay in Twin Waters.
Amanda was very easy to communicate with always responding promptly and with consideration. Amanda’s apartment was perfect for us. It was very comfortable and had a light and spacious feel. The location was also perfect for us being far enough out of the city to get a real feel to how younger Danish families lived yet close enough to walk to most of the main tourist areas within 30-40 mins. Otherwise the metro station is just 2 minutes away and allows access to the entire Copenhagen transport systems. It was one of our best exchanges to date and we would certainly come back or look forward to welcoming Amanda in Australia .
Large spacious home. Close to Mosman village and Cremorne point which we enjoyed very much. Very kid friendly which our grandkids enjoyed coming to visit.
Thanks Charles for the feedback. We really appreciate the feedback.
Great communication and great information for us particularly around car parking in and around Mosman. Very nice family.
Michelle, Ross and Allegra were an absolute delight to have in our home. We managed to catch up with them too! Communication was on point and always quick. They left our home perfect and we would welcome them back again. Highly recommend.
We had a comfortable stay at Carey and Peter's home. The nature around their home was beautiful. Cows in the paddock next door and visits from the Tui birds every day. We explored the area every day and the wood burning stove was very welcoming when we got back. The local area has a surprisingly lot to offer. We had no need to venture too far, so the kind offer of a camper van was not needed.
Carey and Peter left our home spotless and took great care with everything. We were so pleased that they made the most of our swimming pool and ventured out on the bikes often meeting the friendly people of the neighbour hood.
Charlie, Jason and family have been fantastic guests. We exchanged for a globe while we were travelling in Vietnam and although we have yet to meet in person we feel as if we already know them. They left our home perfect and the communication was always prompt and personable. We really appreciate them bringing our car to the airport for us as we had a late arrival the same day they were leaving. We would welcome them back again anytime and do hope to meet up in person in the future.

Isabelle, Matthieu and the girls were an absolute delight to host. They were all respectful, helpful and above all good fun! We would have them back anytime and we are looking forward to visiting them in France next year. Bon voyage et Aurevoir pour l'instant.
Joel and Jan have been absolutely fantastic guests! They were very easy to communicate with and left our home immaculate. Would welcome them.back anytime.
Just had our first exchange at Joel and Jan's place and we couldn't have been happier. A lovely apartment in a great location and more important our hosts made us so very welcome.

There are three of us in total when we include our little dog 'Maggie'. Maggie may not always be able to travel with us, particularly overseas however we can always have her dog sat with our son's family who live nearby. We are both just retired and like many people now have the time to travel and explore different experiences. We have previously been with an organisation called Trusted House Sitters so are not unfamiliar with the concept of home stays and thoroughly enjoyed the experience whilst on a 'Gap' year in 2014/15.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
