Jane and Rowan were perfect hosts. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous home with our 3 beautiful grandchildren, they had a ball playing for hours in the swimming pool. Thank you also for the welcome gifts and all the well received information. Good luck in your new home. Sheena

This was one of our most successful home exchanges in every way. Jane took care of everything for us, from picking us up at the airport after a 23-hour flight to Australia, providing a car for our use, giving us comprehensive information about the area, and maintaining constant communication for every little detail. But above all, the house – a truly unique gem. A mud-brick house with a wooden frame, stone flooring, and wooden windows. Inside, carefully selected furniture pieces were collected to complete the look and feel of a warm and cozy home. Surrounding the house is a wonderful garden filled with orchid pots and local plants. Don't miss it if you're looking for a great place and people near Melbourne!

We offered Jane and Rowan a globe to stay in their home, and their hospitality went above and beyond. They picked us up at Melbourne Airport (in rush hour traffic), offered drinks and a cheese platter while we chatted, and made us dinner to eat after they left! And we were able to use their car for our stay. We loved staying in Hurstbridge - a quaint small town with lots of cafes - in their mud brick home on a hill in the bush. The house is spacious, unique and had everything we needed for our stay. We took a day trip into Melbourne on the train, which stops right in town, we visited Healesville Sanctuary (a must-do!) and also drove to the Great Ocean Road to visit friends. We couldn't have asked for a better stay for the end of our seven week Aussie adventure. And it was delightful to get to know Jane and Rowan.

Jane and Rowan are wonderful hosts, easy to communicate with and very organized. Rowan picked us from the airport and they gave us a run through the house before they left. The house is beautiful and charming, very spacious and cozy. We made several day trips to Melbourne, Great ocean road and also enjoyed a lot the nearby Yarra Valley. We look forward to hosting you in our house and maybe visit the Oktoberfest together.

We had a fabulous sim exchange (home & car) with Jane and Rowan. They were awesome, guiding us through our first exchange on PLU. Their communication was brilliant and we felt really comfortable with the whole process. Jane and Rowan are the loveliest people you could meet and their home is so unique, spacious and beautiful. We had a wonderful stay and got to do so much in Melbourne. It was the perfect location for everything we had planned in the surrounding area and city. I am just so glad we had the opportunity to do this swap. We were fortunate to be able to meet Jane and Rowan at the beginning and end of our trip and it felt like meeting up with friends. We really hope to catch up with them again on a future trip to Melbourne or here in NZ. Next time the bubbles are on us!
