General Overview
Our bright Sunshine home, complete with all amenities, is the perfect base to explore Melbourne. Located just 5 minutes walk to Sunshine train station, there are regular trains into the city (30mins), where major tourism destinations can be reached, while a quick stroll into the Sunshine town centre has everything you need day to day (markets, restaurants, bars, library, cinema).
We can also offer our beach escape house, surrounded by nature, and walking distance from the stunning Sandy Point Surf Beach. The house is huge, and equipped with games, surfboards and holiday amenities, you can also expect local wildlife encounters, as it is very close to Wilson's Promontory National Park.
The Space
The house itself has two bedrooms with an additional study, a large lounge and entertainment area, back and front yard and two bathrooms, with additional sofa beds to accomodate up to eight people.
We have a big family, with plenty of grandkids, and believe our house to be 'grandchild friendly', with playgrounds nearby, toys/games to play with and a TV with added movie channels.
We are also open to offering the use of our three bedroom beach house in Wilson's Promontory, which is 2.5hrs drive from the city. The house is 5 minutes walk from the stunning Sandy Point surf beach, and equipped with boards to enjoy. Surrounded by nature, it is not unusual to have a wombat, koala or possum visit the backyard while the national park, complete with its world famous beaches and hikes, is a mere 20 minutes drive . So you can have the full city & sea experience while in town.

We are recently retired community workers across the fields of housing, disability, indigenous leadership and development, who finally have the time to follow our curiosity. We are very eager to travel slowly, exploring new neighbourhoods, discover local cafés, galleries, and everyday rhythms.
We believe the best way to see the world is by living in it, even if just for a little while, and house exchange feels like a genuinely cool, meaningful way to experience places beyond the tourist lens.
We treat homes with care and gratitude, and we’re excited to share stories, spaces, and new perspectives along the way.
We are particularly keen to go on adventures with our adult children and grandchildren, and look forward to reciprocal exchanges with other families.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
