TAKE YOUR FAMILY ON A HOME SWAP HOLIDAY THIS EASTER

Enjoy all the comforts of home in someone else's pad!

Are you tired of squeezing the entire family into a hotel room? Or sick of having to pay ridiculous school holiday prices for holiday rental properties? Perhaps you're frustrated by the fact that accommodation typically books up over the school holidays before you even have a chance to browse.

Thanks to home exchange website Love Home Swap (www.LoveHomeSwap.com), you can swap your home for someone else's, and take the family holiday of a lifetime this Easter while saving a fortune on accommodation costs in the process.

"Home swapping offers the perfect way to escape the daily grind and experience your destination in comfort and style," says Debbie Wosskow, founder of Love Home Swap. "Listing your home on Love Home Swap is the perfect way to make your home 'work' for you and gives home owners and even renters the opportunity to holiday more for a whole lot less."

Waving in a new age of social travel, Love Home Swap is also taking home swapping to the next level with new increased security and social networking capabilities. "Facebook Connect is perfect for those new to home-swapping, making it easy to find properties of those within your social network," says Debbie. And with the launch of Love Home Swap's new Facebook app, Love Home Swap has introduced home-swapping to the Facebook audience, allowing members to like, share and swap their travel plans with their Facebook friends.

In addition, the new trust-building features allow users to find out more about the people behind the listings and their swap history, with "star badges" awarded to members with the highest 'trust' ratings.

So with Easter just around the corner, consider packing the car and zipping off to a drivable home-swap holiday destination, eliminating the expense of airfares in a double-whammy budget holiday win. Simply join Love Home Swap, list your property and "sell" it by adding photos and information about the benefits of your home and neighbourhood.

Love Home Swap offers a four-week trial for just $1 after which membership costs $175 per year for an unlimited number of home swaps. For more information, or to book your next home swap vacation, visit www.LoveHomeSwap.com.



To get you inspired, Love Home Swap suggests these six top Aussie long-weekend getaway destinations:

Katoomba, NSW Blue Mountains - Leave the big smoke of Sydney behind and head for the hills to enjoy a weekend at a quaint mountain cottage. Take the kids for a ride on Katoomba's scenic railway or simply spend a lazy day relaxing over a coffee on your own spacious balcony before enjoying a home-cooked meal whipped up by your partner.


Fraser Island, Queensland - Zoom away from Brisbane and load your 4WD onto the Fraser Island ferry for a relaxing island break. Enjoy a picnic at one of Fraser's beautiful lakes, or take your kids on a bushwalk to explore the pristine natural surroundings. Unwind after dinner with a DVD or put the kids to bed and make the most of your personal spa.


Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia - Less than an hour from Adelaide, the sleepy town of Hayborough offers the perfect coastal family retreat. Head to nearby Granite Island on an excursion to see Australian Fairy Penguins at play, or simply enjoy watching Southern Right Whales frolic in the ocean facing your perfect home away from home.


Tamar Valley Wine Route, Tasmania - Escape Launceston for the teeny township of Legana, just 12kms from the city. Use your private holiday retreat as a touring base to explore local vineyards or Launceston's Cataract Gorge, Mole Creek or the famous Cradle Mountain or simply watch the sun set over the valley while the kids play in the garden.


Mornington Peninsula, Victoria - Swap Melbourne for the "Victorian Riviera," and treat yourself to a weekend exploring the region's famous wineries, restaurants and surf beaches. Thanks to local home swappers in-the-know, you'll be equipped with the best information about where to eat, drink and unwind over the Easter break.


Wannanup, Western Australia - Just an hour drive south of Perth, the sleepy fishing village of Wannanup is an ideal location for a relaxing family retreat. Spend your days swimming, surfing and fishing before firing up your BBQ for an afternoon beachside feast, or motor another two hours south to visit the Margaret River wine region.
