Our house is a 3 bed (one king one queen) 2 bathroom revoted farm house in the Byron Bay hinterland. Our third bedroom is our daughters and has a kids single bed but also a fold out sofa bed (double). We sit on 29 acres and our farm is certified organic and produces fruit and vegetables for the local area. We are north facing and the view and sunsets from our farm are spectacular. We have a very large wrap around verandah and outdoor furniture , a great place for a drink and to catch some afternoon sun. We are also have an outdoor fire pit and smoker/bbq. There are friends living in a small cabin well away from the main house and great neighbours so if you encounter any problems during your stay you have help on hand.
Our local town (Bangalow) is 12 minutes drive where you will find award winning restaurants and good shopping. 20 minutes to some amazing beaches and surf in and around Byron Bay. Our local pub (The Eltham) is 15 minutes drive and was nomiated for best pub in Australia. Lots to do in the local area, national parks, walks, waterfalls & lighthouses. You can even kayak with dolphins & whales.
Local produce markets on almost every day somewhere within 20/30 minutes drive . Gold Coast airport is around 50 minutes drive or Ballina (Byron Gateway) is around 20.
We feel very lucky to live in such a lovely area and would love to share this with you and trade this for somewhere of equal standard.
As it's our first time and we have a young daughter we thought we would see we could get in exchange around September/October time this year, somewhere overseas. We're looking for between a 2week - 1month exchange, minimum 3 bedrooms and ideally close to a beach though would consider a city break.
Once we've done this once and feel more comfortable we would be looking for more exchanges next year, We love travelling and open to anywhere.
If you would be interested at all, even if for next year please drop us a message so we can start talking and get to know each other.
