Some Home Base Holidays members can offer non-simultaneous exchanges or offer exchange guests use of either a main home or holiday home in another location. Others, without such options, can still widen their exchange offer appeal by being as flexible as possible on dates and destinations.
A member from Lyme Regis, England, has found a way to help friends in Australia (also Home Base Holidays members) find an exchange in London by offering one of her own holiday apartments as another option to the Australians’ Gold Coast home. In this way, Londoners who aren’t able to consider a long haul trip to Australia, will still be able to consider the exchange offer, and enjoy a break closer to home in the lovely town of Lyme Regis in Dorset.
Here is a summary of the exchange request:
Special request from Australian members, (HE20951): We would like an exchange to London (or nearby, near good public transportation) for a large enough two bathroom home to accommodate five adults and one baby. Open dates.
And the choice of homes available in exchange:
Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia - Spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom beachfront unit with 180 degree sea views from all rooms. Located on the southern end of the Gold Coast, famous for its good weather and white sandy beaches. See the full exchange offer and more photos, HE20951.
Lyme Regis, Dorset, England - This property is set on the famous Jurassic Coast, well known for its many fossils. We have a choice of a large ground, or a penthouse apartment (with wonderful coastal views). The property is situated very close to the harbour in Lyme Regis. There is a level walk to the shops, wine bars and many restaurants. The sandy or pebble beach are a few yards away; it is easy to join the coastal foot path which runs in front of us or walk out on the cobb where the French Lieutenants Woman was filmed. See the full exchange offer and more photos, HE17121.
If you live in London or nearby, feel your home would be suitable and are interested in exchanging with the Australian family, please log on, access their listing, HE20951, and let them know which home you are interested in. Not yet a member? Join Home Base Holidays today!
