I can offer assistance to make the most of your time on the beautiful Central Coast with day trips, activities, restaurants etc.
Mel's home is beautiful, modern, and immaculate. It feels like a vacation home with beautiful views of the ocean and a local sandy beach. And yet, it has all the conveniences and comforts of a primary residence. The kitchen is well stocked and well organized. We enjoyed the sunrise over the ocean every morning; it was amazing.
There are many beautiful beaches nearby. Wamberal beach is only a 5-minute walk. Terrigal Beach and Avoca beach are both amazing.
There is a reptile park with lovely birds and Koalas, where we learned about the three deadliest snakes in the world. There are many national parks and nature reserves nearby. We only had the time to visit Bouddi National Park since we made a trip to Brisbane from there. The Bouddi Coastal Walk offers beautiful views of the blue ocean and passes multiple pristine beaches with strong ocean waves.
Mel is a great host. She took great pains to ensure our comfort. Communications were great too.
In sum, we greatly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to exchange with Mel again.
We had a wonderful stay at Mel’s and her families house. The home is incredibly modern and gives off a real sense of luxury. It’s located just a short walk from the beach, making it perfect for easy access to surfing and seaside relaxation.
All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped, and there are several living areas with large TVs—perfect for relaxing after a day out. One of the highlights was the ping pong table, which added a lot of fun to our stay, as well as the lovely pool that offered plenty of privacy.
Communication with Mel was smooth and easy. She was extremely helpful before our arrival, and quick to assist with any questions we had during our stay.
We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a luxurious getaway just outside of Sydney!
Mel was a fabulous host/exchange partner. She was very communicative and so wonderful to work with and her home was absolutely beautiful. Her view was incredible and we definitely left a piece of our heart in Wamberal/Terrigal. We had such an amazing exchange and will be forever grateful that our stay introduced us to such a wonderful place in this world. ♥️
What a home! Mel's place is amazing, light and spacious, connected with it's beautiful natural beachside location.
We arrived smoothly to easy parking parking and access - the driveway looks narrow, but is fine. The main living areas are upstairs, with wonderful ocean views. It was very special to watch whales passing by each day.
The house is very well equipped and comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. Mel provided lots of information to help us make the most of our visit. As we were visiting to spend time with our grandsons, a huge bonus for us was the ping pong table, the scene of fierce competition:-)
We enjoyed walking the beach, visiting local cafes and an especially lovely restaurant, SUQ. We'd love to come back to Wamberal some time.
Mel was just as wonderful as a guest as she was as a host. We would absolutely love to exchange with them again and highly recommend exchanging and staying in their incredible home and community. So happy that they enjoyed their time in SW Utah to the fullest.
Mel and family are great guests. They kept their footprint small while staying at the house and left the home very clean. I would not hesitate to host Mel and her family again in the future.
Mel and her family have been lovely guests, with great communication before and during their stay. They were especially thoughtful and generous with their time in making the house ready for our daughter and her family, who were coming to stay next. The house was left immaculately clean!
It is great to hear that Mel and her family enjoyed their stay and would like to come again - we would certainly welcome them back! We wish them many happy exchange adventures!
We had an amazing stay at Jeff and Pings place. The house is huge, immaculately clean and stocked with everything that we needed for our stay.
The location was perfect for us with easy access to main roads leading into the city and out of Denver many day trips we made.
The kids loved the pool table and I was thankful for large washer and dryer which made doing the laundry for our travels a breeze.
Ping also provided us with lots of information on National Parks and places to visit while we were staying which helped plan our trip and squeeze as much as we could into our stay. We'd love to stay again if we visit Denver again in the future.
Jeff and Ping were the perfect house guests. They kept us updated throughout their stay and left the house very tidy when they departed.
We would gladly welcome Jeff and Ping back to our home in the future.
Stefan and Natalie were absolutely wonderful guests.
They kept in touch from the moment we initiated the exchange and I was able to give them some tips to help plan their Australian trip.
Our home was treated with the upmost care and respect and we were left a special gift from Spain on their departure.
I would not hesitate to recommend Stefan and Natalie as guests and we would welcome them back anytime!
Season and her family were wonderful guests at our home recently.
We communicated regularly right up to and throughout the exchange with Season and her husband regularly checking in to provide updates on their arrival details.
Our house was left spotlessly clean even though they had a very early departure on the day they left.
I would not hesitate to welcome Season and her family back anytime!
Susan and Greg’s place in Berrara was a little slice of heaven! Lovely and bright, lots of windows with views of the surrounding bush reserve and very thoughtfully furnished.
We spent time fishing, kayaking, surfing and riding bikes around the area which is very quiet and perfect for our teenage boys to explore on their own without any worries.
Susan’s communication leading into the exchange was detailed and she was always able to respond to any questions we had.
Susan and Greg are a lovely couple and we would love to exchange with them again in the future.
Susan and Greg left our home spotless and we would have no problem at all welcoming them back.

We could be flexible for non simultaneous exchanges at other times depending on our circumstances so please reach out with any enquiries as we will happily consider all requests.
