We had a lovely 10 days on the Gold Coast while staying in Genny’s home. She made us feel very welcome and left lovely treats of wine and cheeses. Genny was available throughout our stay to answer any of our questions or concerns. We really enjoyed her lovely tropical garden and decks. The therapeutic spa was the icing on the cake. Genny left maps and tourist information that was very helpful. We made good use of the public transportation and found we could get to beaches and shopping centers within one hour by either the train or the bus.
This was our first 'completed' exchange ever and I did not expect it would literally help restore my faith in humanity a bit :) It was March 2025 and just days away from our once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia, Genny was thoughtful enough to give me a heads up that a cyclone was expected in the area so I should monitor closely. She was incredibly knowledgeable, pragmatic, empathetic and super friendly through the communication despite this being one of the worst weather events the Gold Coast would have seen in 30 years. If it wasn't for Genny's constant communication, our trip would've gone very badly. However, due to Genny's proactive communications and kindness, we agreed not to move forward with the exchange and were able to make the necessary adjustments to our itinerary to enjoy the rest of our trip to Australia. Genny, thank you very much for being a gem of a person. I hope one day we are able to host you all in Toronto, meet you in the Gold Coast or elsewhere in the world!
We had such a lovely stay in Genevieve’s home and it was a huge bonus that we got to hang out with her and Wayne, we experienced true Aussie hospitality and had such a great time out on their boat!
Her home is so cozy we felt right at home, the new decks are so nice and the hut tub was a such a treat.
We had a really nice time exploring not only the beaches but also the mountains, the Gold Coast is beautiful.

I had the pleasure of hosting top notch guests Grayson and Lillian at my beach cottage on the Gold Coast for 10 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were polite, respectful, and an absolute delight to communicate with. Not only did they leave my home in immaculate condition, but they also took the time to water the plants and care for the house, including the spa and gardens. Their thoughtfulness and genuine nature truly stood out, and I felt completely at ease knowing my home was in their capable hands. They are exactly the kind of people anyone would be happy to have stay and trust with their home. And I would delightfully and wholeheartedly welcome them back!!! We highly recommend an home exchange experience with Grayson and Lillian!
I had the absolute pleasure of communicating with Moez for an upcoming home exchange and he was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. He was so lovely, enthusiastic, polite, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful and caring. Unfortunately, due to a Category 2 Cyclone Alfred hitting our area and severely impacting the Gold Coast, Moez and his family were unable to enjoy the sunny beautiful holiday destination the Gold Coast generally is at Magnolia Cottage for their dates initially booked. We were able to communicate brilliantly throughout the entire process of the ever changing cyclone situation and were able to happily negotiate outcomes based on the Queensland Governments recommendation that were in the best interests and safety of everyone of Moez and his family. We were also blown away by the generosity of Moez and his family who offered to help us clean up after the cyclone …for the day they were in transition here on the Gold Coast (after a 20 hour flight) moving between the Brisbane and Gold Coast airports to catch their ongoing flights out. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome Moez and his beautiful family another time here. They truly made such a positive impression, and we look forward to the chance to welcome them in the future!
Thank you Moez!
Mel and Mike were truly exceptional as house exchange guests!!! It was delightful exchanging with them. From our first communications to when they stepped through our door, their positive energy and genuine warmth shone through!
Throughout their stay, Mel and Mike displayed the utmost consideration and respect for our space. They were incredibly mindful of our home and went above and beyond by even replacing two old door handles!!!
They took great care to leave everything in our home in immaculate condition on leaving which showcases a level of thoughtfulness that is truly commendable.
What truly stood out was their engaging and friendly nature. We spent time sharing stories, laughing, and creating memories. Their easygoing personalities and genuine interest in others made the entire experience a pleasure.
Without a doubt, we would wholeheartedly welcome Mel and Mike back into our home and exchange with them anytime!!!
