Judy and Murray’s home is wonderful! The location is a short walk from Bateau Bay beach which we loved. There are so many beaches and walks, it’s fabulous. Everything you need is here including the lovely spa which we thoroughly enjoyed. The house has a number of bedrooms, and more than one bathroom with an outdoor studio too. Communication with Jude was fantastic and easy. I hope we will be back. Ali and Rob -
Judy and Murray's home is wonderful, a beautiful, spacious and very well equipped home with gorgeous gardens. Our parents also stayed with us and thoroughly enjoyed the studio, giving them their own home away from home. Judy and Murray are very experienced exchangers and excellent communicators - making us feel so at home in their amazing home - Bateau Bay is a truly lovely spot and their home is so close to the beach, surf clubs, bowling club, local shops. Everything is within walking distance and the neighbourhood is truly wonderful - a real community spirit. We felt like we were locals and the neighbours were friendly and helpful. There are many wonderful places to explore and wonderful coastal walking tracks and lookouts along the Central Coast - beautiful. The people in this part of the coast are also very friendly. We are so grateful to have experienced an exchange with Judy and Murray and got the opportunity to enjoy their beautiful home. Such lovely, warm and genuine people. -
Judy and Murray’s light filled home sits in a quiet area of Bateau Bay, within walking distance of the beach and a great coffee shop. It is a beautiful, comfortable home with everything to make your stay comfortable. Cooking in their kitchen was a dream; a super comfortable bed and relaxing arm chairs meant we were super happy . -
Unfortunately for us we never got to stay due to my parents falling ill just beforehand. What I can say is that all communication was great and there was so much kindness. We will definitely be in contact if we pass through the area and hope for an exchange another time. -
Our daughter and her family had a lovely stay at Bateau Bay. Jude was very easy to communicate with. Thanks very much for a great exchange. -
We enjoyed a brief but wonderful hospitality exchange with Judy and Murray in Bateau Bay, midcoast, New South Wales Australia. When Jude found that we had a little gap in our schedule between the end of our Sydney exchange and our flight to Broome, she invited us to stay with them a couple of nights in their guest cottage. We all hope that we can see one another again and reciprocate hospitality in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Jude led us on a gorgeous coastal walk and explained the flora to us, including rare flannel flowers. It was interesting to learn about their activism to maintain shoreline access. Plenty of laughter and lively discussions over meals. What a wonderful home and location. The annex has all you need. Jude and Murray provided great local advice which helped us make the most of our short stay, including viewpoints, beaches, where to dine and even driving routes. -
On this websites Facebook page, I described Judy and Murray as PLU angels. Reason being, I approached Judy and Murray whilst they were temporary members to see if they were interested in house swapping with me as I needed a place to stay in their area so as to assist a close friend who needs help and support occasionally. When Judy and Murray heard my reasons they responded and offered their home to me as a place to stay when I wanted. They joined up as PLU members even though they didn’t require a swap as they have family near where I live nor, did they didn’t want anything in return for their kind offer. Along with my partner, we met for coffee and it felt like meeting up with old friends; such lovely warm, open and giving people. From our conversations I admired them even more as it became obvious they volunteer their services in all sorts of ways to help the community and people in general. Now they’ve gone away for 5 weeks and I feel honored and blessed that they have trusted me with their home whilst they are travelling and that I can come and go with my partner as I wish. Their home is beautiful, clean, quiet, comfortable and every bit as nice, if not more as shown in the listing and if you like nature and beautiful clean beaches, the location is just amazing. I’ve only stayed a few nights so far and am looking forward to staying more as staying there has been wonderful and has helped me out immensely – that’s why I called them ‘PLU angels’
