Some Home Base Holidays members really know how to entice interest in their home exchange offers with detailed descriptions, often drawing readers in by encouraging them to envisage themselves relaxing in the home, perhaps enjoying a quiet drink on a patio overlooking a beautiful view at the end of a busy day. It helps, of course, if a location has a lot to offer visitors but even an area which those who live there may take for granted can be interesting, even exotic, to others who live somewhere completely different. From the description she gave of her home and area, a new member in Cairns, Queensland, Australia, certainly has reason to end her offer with: 'If you want to put the first footprints on the beach each morning then tempt us!' 'We offer a 3 bedroom villa in a 4 star resort, just 100 mtrs to beach. The resort has great facilities: a gym, sauna, tennis court, 2 pools, lap/beach pool, BBQs, children's playground and front office tour desk. A cafe provides fully cooked English or American style breakfast for $9 if you wish to have a morning off cooking.' Do read the full, very detailed description of this home exchange offer which includes many suggestions for local tours, independent trips and activities. 'David and I enjoy fine restaurants and the beach. We are very open to offers from around the world as we believe experiencing cultures and wildife add to our own personalities. We recently went over to Borneo and throughly enjoyed the culture and wildlife. Neither of us smoke and Callum is a well-mannered and mature 10 year old who, although he enjoys sport and the beach, can often be found with his nose in a book. We are not party people, and we would look after your home as though it was our own. Although we are tied to the Australian QLD holidays, the world is our oyster. We are needing a UK swap 30/6/08 for 3/4 weeks to attend a family wedding.'
