Neighbourhood
We have caring and friendly neighbours who we've known for over 20 years. The suburb is active with families enjoying the local park - 2 mins walk.
Quiet during the day - even quieter at night time. Surprising, given that we are surrounded by major roads and a freeway which will take you in all directions.
Well serviced by public transport within a 5 minute walk with buses taking you to the train station.
In the immediate walkable area are takeaway options - pizza and fish/chips.
A little further walk/car trip away you will find supermarkets, chemists, restaurants, pubs and cafes. Major shopping centres Chadstone, The Glen and Waverley Gardens are close by.
Jells Park is a 5 min drive away - large parklands with lake, walking/bike tracks, bbq area and multiple playgrounds.
Monash Gallery of Art + Museum of Australian Photography
Getting to my home
There is a Skybus service from the airport into the city. Then you can catch a metro train/bus to our place (about 1.5hrs/approx $35 per person). You will need to purchase a MYKI card at the station to access the public transport system.
Alternatively there is a cheap option of a public bus service from the airport, that winds through suburbs and will place you close to our place (2-2.5hrs). Then another short bus ride. Approx $5 per person.
Taxi or Uber from the airport is approx $100-$150
Nearest airport
Melbourne International Airport is 40km away (40min drive non-peak, 1hr at peak).
Getting around
Possibility of a car arrangement if needed.
Serviced by several public bus routes within a short walking distance.

My husband Stuart and I are now enjoying our time to travel - to explore new destinations, to re-visit our favourite places and to enjoy time with family and friends all over the world. We love trying new activities - zip-lining, abseiling and flying in really small helicopters!!!! We are drawn to foodie hot-spots and seek out areas of natural wonder and beauty.
What a great way to supplement travel - share our home and get to meet like-minded people.
House exchange is a new journey for us, having had numerous house and pet sitting experiences both in Australia and overseas.
