Our modern, light and airy open plan holiday home is located at Vincentia on the NSW South Coast. Its a couple of minutes stroll to the beaches of Jervis Bay, home of the world's whitest sands, an easy 2.5 hours drive from Sydney or 3 hours from Canberra, the National Capital.

The 3 bedroom home is comfortably furnished in a relaxing, beach house style and well equipped with all modern conveniences for a relaxing holiday away from home. The house is set back from the road in a bushland garden setting, behind a stand of gum trees. It’s a short stroll to beach, boat ramp, shops and restaurants. It will appeal to guests looking for a relaxing break, close to the Bay's wonderful ocean playground, who appreciate quality furnishings and those little added touches that make your stay all that more special.

The property we are offering for exchange is our holiday house and is available for a non-simultaneous exchange. You can see the property in more detail at http://www.stayz.com.au/7113

We also have another cottage in Kangaroo Valley, a picturesque, National Trust classified village, located 2 hours south of Sydney and about 40 minutes drive from the Vincentia house. It is located on a golf course resort. Kangaroo Valley is nestled between the mountain escarpments of the South Coast and Southern Highlands. A uniquely beautiful part of the state, the area is characterised by a patchwork of farms, rainforest, rivers and waterfalls.

If you would like to mix your holiday up by staying in 2 different locations this is possible. You can see details of this property at http://www.stayz.com.au/15271

We live permanently in Sydney. If your party has no more than 2 persons travelling as a couple, we may also be able to offer you the option of staying with us in a separate studio apartment at our house. We live in a comfortable home about 20 minutes drive from the centre of Sydney.

Jervis Bay is a beautiful marine park where you can enjoy water sports including surfing, diving, swimming, kayaking, boating and fishing. It is a sanctuary for whales and dolphins and you are able to see these beautifiul creatures in their natural habitats. Off the water there is cycling or bushwalking in the area's famous national parks and glorious seaside settings. Restaurants, shops, bank and services are located a short walk from the house.

Our exchange party is Phil, a retired management analyst and Loretta. We are in our mid 50's - 60's and enjoy an active lifestyle when at home. We have 4 grown -up sons, 2 of which still live at home with us. We have done 2 exchanges in the past to the UK and France, when we also visited parts of Italy and Switzerland.

We are looking for an exchange in Italy and Greece, sometime between July - September 2009.

A non- similtaneous exchange would be preferred, so we are happy to welcome you at anytime of the year (except Christmas - New Year holiday period), when we are quite busy at home.
