“We had a lovely stay in this cosy home, with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The location gave us a good chance to explore the beautiful scenery and clean, unspoilt beaches of Port Macqarie and surrounding areas. Our hosts were very generous and left bread, milk and fruit for us when we arrived.”

About our home
Our home is a spacious open plan bungalow with plenty of entertaining room and a small deck with a barbecue. We have a very friendly cat and 3 chooks. The garden is very productive with vegetables and citrus fruit trees will start producing soon. There is a lovely front sunroom which offers a warm nook in winter but the back area is perfect for summer.

Tom's reviews
As a host (7)“This is the 2nd exchange we have had with Tom and Libby at two different properties. The home is very nice with all amenities on a modern estate. Country living style with fresh eggs every day from 3 prolific chickens. It is only 8 minutes into downtown Port Maquarie which has most of the attractions of many larger cities. There are nearby attractions within half an hour by car. Tom and Libby left our place spotless. Bet and Ron”
“Libby and Tom offer a unique opportunity to enjoy country living with nearby trips to beautiful beaches. We enjoyed the change from big town living with fresh free range eggs, and produce from the garden. Watching wild kangaroos from the lounge window was an additional treat. We already miss the most friendly cat we have ever met! The home is very comfortable and spacious. Libby and Tom left our home in excellent order. Bet and Ron”
“We had the pleasure of spending two weeks in Tom and Libby’s comfortable home in February this year.Such a liveable home with a wonderful outlook to distant hills by day and a massive starry sky at night, not to mention a friendly cat and fresh eggs daily from three gorgeous ginger chooks. Port Macquarie is so scenic and several beaches, town centre, wineries and attractions were within easy reach from this central location. Exploring the surrounding area meant taking some wonderful day trips to amazing countryside and the glorious ocean beaches and we found that two weeks were not enough. We look forward to our next exchange with the lovely, friendly, hospitable Tom and Libby.”
“Tom and Libby are fantastic house swappers. Not only is their home extremely comfortable, spotless and close to everything, they left our house cleaner than it was when we left. We thoroughly recommend Port Macquarie as a perfect place for a house swap.”
“Tom and Libby’s house in Port Macquarie proved a great place to stay and enjoy the region. The house was spotless and they also left a bottle of my favourite drink on the table for us. This was our first full house exchange and it was a tremendous experience. Our house was left perfect for us when we returned to Brisbane. We would highly recommend Tom and Libby for a house swap. ”
“We have just completed our first home exchange with Tom and Libby Meakin in their lovely house in Port Macquarie. Their place is very comfortable and well equipped. It is near to the city center either by car or walking. And all the suggestions Tom and Libby gave us were right on the money. Already we miss our daily walks along the beaches and through bush land! Tom and Libby looked after our place as if it was their own. We arrived home to a spotless house and glowing reports of them by a neighbours. We recommend a swap with them. Port Macquarie is a beautiful city and Tom and Libby have become very good friends.”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Port Macquarie is a large city with its own airport and nearly every shop imaginable. Our house is not far from the beaches. A main road passes nearby but we live in a very quiet street. There is a medical centre nearby and the city centre is just minutes away by car or one hour away on foot. There are numerous beaches nearby and some fantastic coastal walks. Whale and dolphin watching is common during the season and there are cruises available to get up closer. Port, as the locals call it, boasts a fantastic entertainment centre; the Glasshouse, which has the best acoustics we have ever heard. There's a beautiful Rainforest reserve. Add to this the fantastic array of cafes and restaurants and you have a recipe for one of the nicest coastal cities in Australia.
