Hospitality
Hospitality Description: We charge a cleaning fee of $250 for non-reciprocal exchanges when groups would like the house to themselves. This is less than our cleaners charge us - it's a big house and it takes several hours to prepare. For smaller groups who would prefer not to pay a cleaning fee, we welcome visitors to stay with us while we're there for a hospitality stay. We have three spare bedrooms.

Faye
We live between our top floor apartment in the North Sydney CBD with western Harbour views and our large house in the Blue Mountains a short walk from the Three Sisters lookout.
We have a blended family with 5 grown up children and 2 grandchildren between us. We both work in the environment industry, love wildlife and hiking in wilderness areas. We are also both Rotarians, and Michael is currently President of the Rotary Club of Sydney.
We enjoy hosting respectful guests and their families and making sure they have a comfortable stay.
We love exploring new places and are open to either simultaneous or non-simultaneous home swaps and also hosted stays. We have plenty of spare rooms in our house in Katoomba and enjoy spending time with locals when we travel. As our children are all grown up, there is usually just the two of us when we travel so we don't need a whole home.
