My home is serene and peaceful and about ten years old. It is located 80 kms south of Sydney, the most vibrant city in Australia. So I benefit from proximity (max 90mins by car or train) to a huge city, yet have the peace and tranquillity of my home between, the magnificent unspoiled south coast beaches and the escarpment behind which are wonderful bush trails and lookouts. My "villa" condo (one story town house) is in a group of only four.

I have two good size bedrooms (each with a double bed) and the garage has been converted into a carpeted home office (computer/ high speed internet) and storage area. The lounge area has leather lounges - the largest opens to a QS bed. There is an additional parking space outdoors.

The unit is open plan (timber laminate floor & tile floors) with a good size kitchen overlooking the defined dining area, which in turn looks out on my lovely garden. The kitchen is well equipped except there NO dishwasher.Bedrooms have new carpets. Separate shower. Only 3steps so easy access but not wheelchair accessible.

My secret garden is a delight. It features gardenias, a magnolia, ornamental plum, bougainvillea, azaleas, camellias and lots of orchids in pots. The orchids will be in bloom by August usually. There is an area for my outdoor furniture and umbrella, but I have to stay out of the sun so it is kept indoors and placed out as needed.

Destination wanted:
Vancouver, Halifax on same trip within Jun-Sep'09 Italy, France Jul-Oct'10
Additional information:
Corrimal is one of the northern suburbs of Wollongong (pronounced "wool-on-gong"). It is set between the magnificent ocean beaches of Bellambi and Corrimal and the escarpment backdrop. The escarpment was the sight of the coal seams which provided the original impetus for the city - but these days, while coal mining and the steel industry still exist, tourism is the draw card to this beautiful area.

My favourite walk takes me about one kilometre to the surfing beach, then along the bike trail around the Bellambi lagoon (rich with bird life) and home. It is the perfect start to my day - especially when the galahs (native bird) are trying to outdo the kookaburra's laugh.
About Home Exchange Owners :
I am a retired (professional) Australian/Canadian returning for a long visit to try and see a bit more of my dear friends in Vancouver and take in northern parts BC/Alaska and maybe get across to the Atlantic Provinces. My last swap was right downtown Vancouver (Winter 2006) and I’ve decided that as a retiree I no longer need to be right in the heart of the night life. I desire a swap to an apartment close to downtown (West End close to Denman & Stanley Park/Kits/Yaletown etc.). I may be joined for part of the time by a friend - retired teacher from Germany.

My last swap was supposed to be for 2 adults but ended with way more family and my power/water bills and wear & tear were beyond my expectations. So this time I want no more than 2 people for 80% of the stay. However, of course occasional visitors would be welcome.
