Hi, we're Dave and Kirsty - the people behind HouseSwapHolidays.com.au (formally HomeExchange.com.au) which we launched in 2009. We're two friendly Kiwis who hopped on a plane to Australia, fell in love with the place and decided to stay!

With years of world travel under our belts, we are right at home here in Melbourne - and we're die hard fans of the home exchange vacation!

After all, there are only so many dodgy hotels, disappointing motels and tacky resorts one can endure - and we've had our fair share!

Chances are you have also!

Our dissatisfaction with traditional accommodation is what lead us to exploring home exchanges - and what a journey it's been! Once we tasted home exchange success for ourselves, our lives changed for good! We're enjoying more and more quality vacations that don't involve disappointing and unnecessary hotels - and we're helping others do just that!

In fact, we've combined our passion for travel and home exchanges to help make the home exchange dream a reality for people the world over!

And that's how HouseSwapHolidays.com.au was born! So why not explore the site today and experience the true vacation alternative!
