Welcome to our family home in beautiful Lake Cathie, on the NSW Mid North Coast of Australia!
We're lucky to live in a relaxed coastal community, just 20 minutes south of Port Macquarie. Our home is tucked away in a quiet, safe cul-de-sac and is a wonderful base for families wanting to experience the Australian coastal lifestyle.
Our home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortable open-plan living, ducted air conditioning and a fantastic home office, comfortably set up for two people to work remotely.
We're ideally located just 200m from local shops, cafes and the tavern, and around 800m from Lake Cathie and a great local surf break. There's plenty to enjoy outdoors, including surfing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, kite surfing, cycling and exploring the beautiful coastline.
It's particularly well set up for families, with a dedicated playroom, trampoline and outdoor space for children. There's a good local public school just five minutes away, with a range of private schools in nearby Port Macquarie.
One of our favourite features is the beautiful elevated entertaining deck, surrounded by greenery and with a lovely treehouse feel. It's the perfect spot for a morning coffee, long lunch or evening drink.
We also have a friendly dog and backyard chickens who we'd ideally love to keep at home during a swap. We'd be happy to discuss the arrangements for their care.
Lake Cathie is a fantastic base for exploring the Mid North Coast, with beautiful beaches, national parks, coastal walks and plenty of outdoor adventures nearby.

We'd also be happy to make our bikes, surfboards, tennis and pickleball racquets and car available for use during the swap, subject to agreeing on arrangements beforehand.
We have a friendly family dog and backyard chickens who we'd ideally like to keep at home during the swap. This would involve some basic daily care, including feeding, and we'd provide everything needed. We're happy to chat about the arrangements to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.
Notas
We're a family home rather than a dedicated holiday rental, so you'll find all the usual things that make everyday living comfortable, including kitchen equipment, children's toys, books, bikes and outdoor equipment.
We're particularly interested in a swap that allows both families to experience living somewhere new, rather than simply having a holiday. We're open to discussing longer exchanges and would love to find a family who will enjoy our home and local lifestyle as much as we do.
Ideally, our dog and chickens would remain at the property during the swap, with guests helping with their basic daily care. We're flexible and happy to discuss what's involved.

Somos uma família de quatro pessoas da região australiana, com duas crianças pequenas de 4 e 7 anos, procurando uma troca de casa no exterior por 3 a 9 meses.
Esperamos tirar um ano sabático em família e abraçar um ritmo de vida diferente – dando às crianças a oportunidade de experimentar uma nova cultura, aprender outro idioma e frequentar uma escola local, enquanto nos imergimos no cotidiano em algum lugar novo.
Estamos particularmente interessados em um país de língua espanhola, embora estejamos abertos a possibilidades. Idealmente, adoraríamos uma casa familiar em uma ótima comunidade, ao alcance de uma boa escola local e muitas atividades ao ar livre divertidas. Somos uma família ativa e adoraríamos estar em um lugar com oportunidades para surfe, kitesurf, esqui, trilhas ou outras aventuras ao ar livre.
Também temos um cachorro muito querido e algumas galinhas, que idealmente adoraríamos incluir na troca.
Não estamos procurando tanto férias, mas sim a chance de chamar temporariamente outro lugar de lar, fazer conexões, experimentar um estilo de vida diferente e criar memórias maravilhosas em família pelo caminho.
Estamos animados em nos conectar com famílias que pensam como você e que possam estar interessadas em um intercâmbio de longo prazo!
People Like Us é a comunidade de troca de casas mais confiável do mundo. Acreditamos na partilha, confiança, generosidade, respeito, comunicação, igualdade, cooperação, honestidade, hospitalidade, amizade, flexibilidade e aventura. Temos orgulho de nossas casas e nos preocupamos com o meio ambiente em que vivemos: nossa vila, cidade, país e nosso planeta. Nos preocupamos com o ethos da troca de casa e fazemos isso porque amamos a experiência e as amizades que ela gera.
