General overview
Our home and seven acre property is nestled against Mount Douglas park and across the street from the ocean. You'll find chickens and pigs grazing the back field and can pick pears, apples, grapes, cherries, strawberries or blueberries depending on the time of year you are here! There are hiking paths up the mountain or down to the beach directly from our yard. We are 20 minutes from anywhere in Victoria.
No animal or garden help is needed during an exchange unless you are interested.

Shawn and Nicole
Family of four with two boys 11 and 15. We also have a friendly goldendoodle named Charlie and an elusive cat Miso. We recently moved back to Canada from Singapore where we spent 15 years living, working and exploring south east Asia. We're loving being back and exploring our part of the world on the west coast. We've swapped homes before but not on this site.
