Neighbourhood
We live in a quiet suburb 15km north of Melbourne CBD. Moonee Ponds Creek Trail is a beautiful walking/bike trail that will take you southbound all the way into Melbourne city.
Consistently voted as one of the top cities of the world, Melbourne has much to offer.
Often lauded as Australia's heart of culture, Melbourne's attractions include sporting events, art galleries, live music, festivals and fashion events that are popular with tourists and locals alike.
Renowned for its world class coffee, European style alfresco dining, laneway art, hidden bars, festivals and multiple live entertainment options, Melbourne has something for everyone.
In January, the city is home to the Australian Open, one of only 4 tennis Grand Slams.
The race that stops a nation, the Melbourne Cup, is held at the famous Flemington Race Course on the first Tuesday in November in the middle of a massive week of festivities during the Spring Racing Carnival.
At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australian Rules Football is on show between March and October, with international cricket being played in the summer months.
Melbourne is also quintessentially “wine country” - it’s home to 21 remarkable wine regions, including the prestigious Yarra Valley, the charming Mornington Peninsula and the rugged Grampians.
Within 15 minutes of our home there are multiple options for fine dining, wine bars, great shopping and cosy cafes at a number of different surrounding suburbs.

My family of five and I stayed at Andrew and Marita’s home while they stayed at ours on the Gold Coast. Their home was exactly as described and had all the extra bells and whistles, making for a truly relaxing holiday. The house was extremely clean, easy to navigate, and very comfortable — the spa was an added bonus and thoroughly enjoyed.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. My husband and I met Andrew and Marita the day prior, and they were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease as it was our first exchange. During our stay, communication was minimal but always available when needed, which we appreciated.
When we returned home, our house was in perfect condition. Andrew and Marita were respectful, reliable, and wonderful to exchange homes with. We would happily recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to swap again.
We just wanted to say thank you again for trusting our family of five with your beautiful home. We truly appreciated it.
Your home was absolutely perfect for our stay — spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The spa was a real highlight and made the holiday even more relaxing. We also appreciated having your car.
It was lovely meeting you both beforehand. You are both friendly, welcoming, and a genuine pleasure to communicate with. Everything throughout the swap was smooth and stress-free, and we really appreciated the clear and easy communication.
We’re also very grateful for how respectfully you treated our home — we came back to it in perfect condition, which meant a lot to us.
Thank you again for such a positive home exchange experience. We’d happily do it again anytime.
Marita and I stayed at Barbara and Bruno’s beautiful home while they stayed at ours in Melbourne.
Their home was exactly as described and was super comfortable. The house was extremely clean and very well presented — the pool was an added bonus and we thoroughly enjoyed it during our stay. There was even a welcome hamper on the kitchen bench when we arrived which was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. Marita and I hosted Barbara and Bruno the day prior to us leaving for the Gold Coast and it was wonderful to be able to connect with them prior to our swap. They are very friendly and welcoming people and we knew that our home would be well looked after during their stay, which it was!
When we returned home, our house was in perfect condition. Barbara and Bruno were respectful, reliable, and wonderful to exchange homes with. We would happily recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to swap again.
We would highly recommend Barbara, Bruno and their children as reliable guests in your home. They cared for our house as if it was their own and when we arrived home everything was very clean and in order. We are thankful that we have gotten to know them and look forward to continuing our friendship in the future.
