We had a very good time at the Wayne's home. It's very spacious and comfortable. The area is nice and many attractions nearby. We rented a car and visited many places. Thank you Wayne again.
Wayne was a wonderful guest - kind and thoughtful - and an absolute pleasure to host. He was friendly, respectful and very easy to communicate with throughout his stay. He took exceptional care of our home and left it absolutely immaculate. Everything was beautifully clean, and tidy and it was lovely to come home to. We would happily welcome Wayne back anytime and would highly recommend him to other members of the People Like Us community. Thank you Wayne!
I had such a lovely stay at Linda and Mike’s lovely cottage home on the Gold Coast. It was in an excellent location - central to everything and spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming with a thoughtful cheese platter wine and snacks on arrival. The decks spa and tropical garden created such a peaceful place to relax, and the spa was definitely one of the highlights of my stay. It was wonderful to sit outside, listen to the native birds unwind and enjoy the beautiful tropical gardens. The beds were very comfortable with lovely linen. Colourful soft furnishings made everything feel tropical, fresh, and cheerful. I could tell that Linda and Mike had spent a lot of time and very thoughtfully had planned and prepared their home for their home exchange guests and it was such a comfortable home to relax in. Communication was excellent throughout my stay. They made me feel genuinely welcome and shared helpful information that made everything easy to navigate. It was an awesome exchange, and i would love to stay again. Thank you Linda and Mike.
