General overview
It only takes a few minutes to walk to the local beach for a swim and leisurely stroll, brisk walk or jog along miles of white, sandy clean beachfront and crystal clear ocean. The ocean can be glimpsed from the front deck of my comfy beach house. It is also very convenient to public buses, the coastal National Park track at the northern end of the beach, a popular coffee and breakfast cafe just down the road or a stroll to Sunshine Beach via the bike way or beach walk, where there is a surf club and coastal village style shopping/cafe hub. Allow 5 to 7 minutes to drive down to the internationally renowned Hastings Street in Noosa Heads.
The space
This home is excellent for families or up to 3 couples who enjoy holidaying together. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have a queen sized beds with the master bedroom having a king, a walk in robe, ensuite and french doors leading directly out to the back deck where there is an roofed lounging area. The main bathroom and toilet are separate. The front deck catches the coastal breeze and has a fan to use during hotter periods. Here, you will also find a Weber BBQ. This is within close proximity of the kitchen for convenience of meal preparation.
Guest access
This is a high set split level home with no wheelchair access. The front door keys are kept in a key lock that uses a 4 digit code which will be given to you on confirmation of an exchange.
Notes
I will be building in underneath my highset home early this year. That may limit availability. Send a message if you have questions.

Neighbourhood
This residential area is centred around active, coastal living. There is an Aquatic Centre and Tennis Courts within a 3 minute drive. The closest main shopping areas for groceries, dentists, doctors, banking, restaurants, bars, cafes, speciality stores and a main bus depot are at situated in Noosa Junction. It takes 5 minutes to drive there and parking is plentiful. Hastings Street is just over the hill from here where parking during peak tourist season can be frustrating. The local council offers free buses into the Junction and Noosa during the Christmas holiday period in an effort to curb traffic problems.
Rising early and going for a walk around National Park, a swim and breakfast is one way to beat the crowd.

I am happy to meet up with members to give local insights and ideas of what to do in the local and broader area of the Sunsine Coast.
Peta’s house was a fantastic base to explore beautiful Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. Communication was great with lots of advice and local knowledge.
Peta’s home is a beautifully relaxing beachside place.
Its was like home away from home….
We felt welcome from the time we walked in the door…
3 mins walk from a beautiful pristine beach in a non commercialised area… no high rise buildings and commercialisation…..but within very easy reach everything you would need
Chalet Cafe a couple of minutes away dies a great breakfast and coffee
Just peace and tranquility
The communication was seamless.
Thanks Peta for sharing you lovely home with us 🤗
We had a wonderful time at Peta's place on the Sunshine Coast.
Her home is well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Just a short walk to the beach and a short drive to other popular Sunshine Coast destinations.
Peta was a great host and we thank her for making the exchange possible. We look forward to welcoming Peta and Ivo to Hoi An in the future.
Peta and Ivo stayed at our vacation home for a Globe exchange, and were the perfect guests! Kind, thoughtful and considerate, they made the experience stress-free and pleasant. And Ivo even did some gardening for us off his own back!! These guys are seriously awesome and should you get the chance to host them - then do so.
It became apparent that we needed to meet these guys in person, so we cleared a day in our busy schedules and made our way to Cornwall. And what a blast we had swapping stories and experiences.
Thank you Peta and Ivo for taking in our mountain of deliveries!
We would GLADLY host them again!
After almost 2 years we finally got to welcome Peta and Ivo to Tranquil Villa, Tra Que in Hoi An, Vietnam.
They were great guests and everything went very well.
The updates and communication from Peta was spot on.
Peta is a 5 star plus host and guest.
We would recommend an exchange with her and Ivo anytime.
Absolutely fabulous couple! PEta and Ivo are the most wonderful guests. So kind and communicative and friendly, and were super respectful of our home. They left it in excellent condition and cleaner than before! I wish I had the chance to spend time with them. All communications we had were an immense pleasure. Truly fantastic guests!
Although we did not get to meet Miranda and her family, we were very pleased with the communication prior to their arrival and happy with the care they took of our home during their stay.
What a wonderful experience it was to not only stay at Ramona's and James' very comfortable secondary home, but also to have the pleasure of meeting them. From the time we initially got in touch to request a globe exchange, the entire process went smoothly. They are an extraordinary family unit whose attitude we highly prize as an example of the pillars of what home exchange character is built on...honesty, friendliness and the desire to explore, discuss and share the unique pockets of our beautiful planet. Lalent and the West Coast of Cornwall are full of uniwue areas to immerse yourselves in. Don't hesitate to get in touch with these members to exchange with and discover the beauty in the area they are offering accommodation. We hope to catch up with them in the future and share many more stories of travel adventures. Thank you so much for being the people that you are.
Where do I begin? The excellent location, the great communication, the relationship built over time with David and family?? We could not recommend more highly this incredible villa and the ease with which David makes it happen. We have had the BEST time exploring one of everyone's (well, at least all of my Australian friends) favourite destinations in Vietnam. If you happen to be fortunate enough to organise an exchange with David and Tam, be rest assured that your time spent in Tra Que will be amongst your favourite overseas destinations. Thank you so much for all that you offer, David and Tam. We will, of course, return.
Our exchange in Niki’s home was nothing short of amazing! Niki was so supportive both before and during our stay, giving clear and precise directions regarding arrival, plenty of suggestions on what to do and cafés and restaurants to try during our time on Serifos. Her home has such a welcoming and homely feel that relaxing after a day of exploring this beautiful Greek Island gem, either inside or on the rooftop deck, is guaranteed. Chorea is such an authentic Greek Village experience, built high on a hill. You can spend so much time exploring the pathways, greeting the friendly passers-by, climbing up to churches perched on the tips of rocky mountain passes and passing the odd working donkey and it’s owner going about their every day lives. There are plenty of hikes to do for all levels of fitness, so many beaches to choose from, although hiring a car to get to some of them would be required as the buses do limited runs to only a few locations. We loved trying out different eating options at the waterside in Livida and climbed the steps down and back up to Chora several times. The views are amazing and it’s worth going up to Niki’s rooftop at Sunrise to watch the red/orange ball appear above the ocean’s horizon. Obviously, I can’t recommend this exchange highly enough. Thank you, Niki, for adding such an authentic and unique experience to our travels.
Although we have not yet met Sandi and Steve in person, Sandi was a friendly communicator leading up to and during their stay. They kept us updated on arrival and departure details and left the house in an immaculately clean condition. We look forward to meeting both Sandi and Steve when we have the pleasure of staying in their peaceful location.
David and Tan are 5 star guests. They are a friendly, easy going family who took great care of my home and garden during their stay and left it in an immaculate state.
