Sorry to disappoint, but our profile photo has not been taken on the staircase of our home....(wish it was).

We have a modern nearly new sunny, 3 x bedroom town house by the sea on sunny east coast of Tasmania. As Swansea is our second home, so we are open to non-simultaneous house swaps. We are only 90 minutes from Hobart airport and 90 minutes from Launceston airport, and are situated in the middle of the east coast. Freycinet National Park is only a 40 minute drive where the famous Wine Glass Bay and the Hazards are located.

Our home is sunny, airy and open plan and there is a large balcony with outdoor furniture and a BBQ that is accessed from either the lounge or dining room. There are three main bedrooms, ensuite with spa and another 1 1/2 bathrooms. We have a secure fenced back garden and if required, we can supply a port a cot and high chair. We also have a professional cleaner available so you can have a really relaxing holiday if you prefer.

We both enjoy cooking, wine and travelling.

John spent his life in the Merchant Navy as a Radio Officer and then as a lecturer at the Australian Maritime College and retired in January 2014. Jackie still works part time at the local hospital, so we spend one week at our home near Jackie's work, and the other week at Swansea. We have the best of both worlds. We have currently been travelling throughout the world, and would consider any exchange in Australia or overseas.
