“We have just completed a three week swap at Alison and Kerrods lovely comfortable home. Set up on a hill surrounded by beautiful views and local wildlife. We loved waking up to the sound of the birds and seeing the kangaroos hopping around! Yeppoon is such a lovely area with beautiful beaches and friendly hospitable people. We were lucky to have great weather and did lots of sightseeing. We particularly liked Emu park and the zoo and botanical gardens at Rockhampton. Thankyou Alison and Kerrod. We have taken with us very happy memories of our stay.”

Notre maison
We have a 10ha property with a small tropical orchard (paw paws, mangoes, bananas, carambolas,etc) 8mins from the seaside town of Yeppoon. Our house has polished, hardwood floors and wide verandahs to enjoy the tropical breezes. A great place to relax. Our modern kitchen has all mod cons: dishwasher, microwave, large pantry and modern stove/oven, Air-con. The living room contains a large plasma HD TV, DVD player and video player. Bathrooms are modern; one with a spa. Our neighbours are friendly. Our property is eucalypt trees, grassland and orchard. Rainforest plants abound. The house is specially designed for our climate. It's only a few minutes to cafes, clubs and shops.
Living on a property is awesome: Australian birds( parrots, cockatoos, bustards, galahs, etc) are commonplace viewing from our verandahs. We are close to a wildlife park, 350metres away. Swapping cars is essential as public transport into town is poor, although it takes only 8 mins by car. In town one can catch a boat for the 30 min. trip to Great Keppel Island and its beautiful beaches and tropical fish. Snorkelling, beach sports and swimming are popular there and on the local beaches. Our area is bounded by rainforest in which one can hike and swim in cool, clear streams. The seaside township of Yeppoon has a population of 10-15 000. It is a coastal resort town of great beauty situated close to the Tropic of Capricorn. It is a 20 min drive from Yeppoon to the highway which takes you north to Cairns and south to Brisbane or west to Longreach and our famous outback.

We are both recently retired teachers. Our interests are tennis, golf (There are a number of excellent golf courses in the local area), bushwalking, reading and travelling. We also enjoy gardening and developing our property. We only speak English so wish to swap with people who speak English. We have 2 children who both live away from home in other parts of Queensland. We have recently completed an exchange to Canada and to NZ and U.K.

FR: Alison's reviews
FR: As a host FR: (3)“It was very pleasant to enjoy the Queensland sunshine and to relax on the balcony at our hosts house. Alison arranged for a friend to pick us up from Rockhampton airport who then drove us to our car, so it was a very straightforward journey in getting to our destination. Thanks for leaving us a bottle of wine to celebrate the beginning of our holiday. The beaches were lovely as was the Capricorn resort swimming pool (and bar for cocktails). Nice to experience a bit of Australian life at our house on the hill with the great views”
“We had a wonderful rural break in close proximity to beaches, rainforest and the bustling town of Yeppoon. Easy day trips to Great Keppel Island and Rockhampton. The home was very comfortable and many relaxed hours were spent on the extensive verandahs. Alison and Kerrod were generous hosts.”
