Feedback

  • We have just completed our first home exchange with Steve and Tanya at Varsity Lakes, Gold Coast, Qld (Australia). Their modern Apartment offers a fantastic opportunity to exchange and has stunning lake views, and is complete with anything you might need. The bottle of wine, sourdough loaf and the banana with walnuts loaf was such a thoughtful welcome gift. The walkways/bike paths around the lake provide a serene and picturesque experience, with the bonus of fabulous coffee shops and restaurants nearby. The communication by Steve and Tanya was exemplary and I would highly recommend their place for a memorable stay, near the Gold Coast Australia. I feel we will be fast friends into the future!
