We are hoping to exchange in the Gold Coast / North NSW Area from one week up to a couple of months if suitable. We have exchanged in the Gold Coast in 2017 and the Sunshine Coast in 2022.
Myself and my husband Graham are both retired from Social Services and now let properties as well as this gorgeous wee holiday cottage. We have 4 adult children; the youngest now 25 has just returned from a year in Australia. Our daughter lives nearby and our two oldest boys live on the Gold Coast and work in Caring Professions.
My daughter Tara wants to spend time in Spain in July 2023 for her friends wedding. She hopes to stay in Costa Brava/ Girona area for the month of July 2023 as she has holidays from her mental health nursing degree.

We loved staying in Portrush, felt very at home in the cottage and neighbourhood restaurants. It is a place of great natural beauty and we loved exploring the Causeway Coast and taking day trips into Derry and Belfast.
