More about us

We are Jill (43) and Piero (46), married with one child, Luca (3 and a half). I was an IT Manager before I became a Mom. Piero owns a business manufacturing handmade leather accessories. We enjoy hiking, camping and traveling locally and overseas although we have not been able to do much since our son was born. As Piero is able to run his business remotely and we have a permanent resident visa for Australia, we would like to try living in Melbourne for a while. We have not done a home exchange before and would like to correspond with prospective exchangers via email. We are looking to do an exchange for a minimum period of 6 months.

Where is it?

Neighbourhood

Our home is situated in a quiet area in an enclosed suburb at the beginning of a cul-de-sac. The garden is medium sized, mostly indigenous and borders on the Table Mountain National Park which gives us a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The lake is frequented by a variety of birds including the African Fish Eagle, Herons, King Fishers, Cormorants, various small raptors and occasionally a Cape Otter. Our garden is visited by birds including weavers & sunbirds and also by butterflies and Baboons.
We are very close to Long Beach for the most spectacular sunsets and Noordhoek beach for horse riding. We are surrounded by Mountains where Hiking trails abound. The historic Imhoffâs Farm which was established in 1743 offers restaurants and craft shops and activities for children. We have a small nature reserve (Solole Nature Reserve), close by where animals indigenous to the area are being re-introduced. We are approximately 20 mins from Cape Point Nature Reserve, Boulders Beach and many other beaches on the Peninsula.
