We think Homelink is fabulous and we are off to Oz again in March this time for six months. It is wonderful to travel 10,000 miles to be only 20 minutes from our family. Thank again for all your help.
Mr & Mrs S, High Wycombe, August 2011 (from Facebook)
We love HomeLink and have have had fabulous holidays!!
Mr & Mrs W, Bath, June 2011
Caroline, I have not had the oportunity to thank you enough for all the excellent organisation you provide for us homelink members. This is the best thing that has happend to all my family.
Ms S, Mexico, May 2011
This year we have arranged exchanges in New Zealand for RWC 2011, followed by Melbourne and Tasmania. This is a great way to see the World and make new friends!
Ms McG, Troon, May 2011
We are very pleased with our membership, we are off to Paris for an exchange in July and have had over 100 offers this year. I sing your praises to all my friends as I just cannot see any drawbacks, I only wish I had known of it when my children were small, and once my husband retires I know we will be able to use it even more, so thank you.
Ms L, London, May 2011
We've just come back from a fantastic Easter exchange in Devon - as ever NEVER dissapointed with Homelink exchanges.
Mr B, Liverpool, April 2011
We are so happy we joined HomeLink as it has made our retirement one of the happiest experiences of our lives and we have mande many friends in all the different countries.
Mrs H, Coventry, April 2011
The children and I had a great exchange to Sydney for 3 weeks last summer and had the most amazing time. Homelink enabled me to realise a dream and I have gained so much from our adventure Down Under. I couldn't have done it (and actually didn't want to) do it any other way. It was great to 'live' in Aus all be it for 3 weeks!
Ms C, Surrey, March 2011
What a great site Homelink is! We have had six happy exchanges in Australia and New Zealand so far and plan more.
Mrs S, Bury St Edmunds, March 2011
I thought that I would update you on our first week of joining homelink, thanks to your wonderful site with have already organised an exchange with a lovely family in Portugal for 3 weeks this summer, we were very lucky in finding a family with lots of experience in exchanging. We received offers from different parts of Australia, France, Portugal and Germany.
Mrs W, Canterbury, February 2011
Hi from us two. We only joined you a couple of months ago... we are retiring very shortly and felt that we wanted a gap year , but then started to worry about our grandios ideas matching with the budget available........... so a friend mentioned house exchanging. I researched it on the net and very soon found your site. It was far the best one for ease of use and interest and I was quickly hooked. I,ve had real fun sorting all this out and amazingly have arranged 4 (possibly 5) exchanges for a 9 month trip to Aus and NZ. I think you can say that we will be members for many years to come - USA next!!
Mr & Mrs M, Newcastle upon Tyne, February 2011
We have had three swaps so far and they have all worked out so well. We are off to California this summer. We are always telling people how great swapping is and directing them to your website. It's one of the best things we've ever done.
Mrs R, Falkirk, February 2011
We had had three fantastic exchanges visiting family and friends in Australia over Christmas and New Year - they seem to get better and better!I have been singing the praises of Homelink to all.
Mrs K, London, February 2011
We think that your organisation is wonderful and we have been very grateful to have been able to use it.
Mrs P, Suffolk, January 2011
I am thrilled with Homelink. We have done 9 swaps in the last year all hugely successful.
Mrs D, London, January 2011
I am your organisation's keenest fan !! I wish I had found you 20 years ago, but am trying to make up for it now. Happy Christmas.
Mrs H, Henley on Thames, December 2010
Thank you for all the help you gave me all through the setting up of my registration. I am just learning to use the computer and I could not have managed without your help and patience. I look forward to many happy exchanges.
Mrs D, Brighton, November 2010
We have been having the most amazing time travelling the world with Homelink, in December we are off to Bequia, St Maarten and Palm Beach! We keep making the most delightful friends and the best thing is when we exchange again and we find this really easy and much more social.
Mrs I, London, November 2010
We became members in early May and have no previous home exchange experience. In mid June we had completed arranging a 16 week trip including exchanges (8 in total) We fly to San Francisco and drive to Los Angeles - staying 2 nights en route with an exchange partner. After 8 days in the USA we head to 2 months in New Zealand and this includes 3 home exchanges of a week each. We then head to Australia for 5 weeks, 4 of which will be spent in 3 exchange homes. Our final stop is a 1 week exchange near Cape Town. On our return we will change our web entry to show "experienced" !!!
Mr O'N, Cheshire, October 2010
I would just like to say how very good your organisation is and how much we have enjoyed our various trips through HomeLink. Every single exchange has been a complete joy, many thanks.
Ms B, France, August 2010
Thought I would just let you know that we have just returned from LA, where we stayed in a beautiful home in the Hollywood foothills arranged through HomeLink, it was fantastic. I have no hesitation in recommending HomeLink to anyone else.
Mr F, London, June 2010
We are currently enjoying a penthouse apartment in Sydney and have been here for 3 months. We have made 8 exchanges so far (NZ, Alice Springs, etc.) and have our 9th one booked - Canada. We are delighted with your website as it enables us to both travel and see our son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren regularly - they live in Sydney. Were it not for Homelink, we would not have a relationship with our grandchildren because the family live in a small, two-bedroomed flat and there is simply not enough space to accommodate us.
Mrs T, South Glamorgan, May 2010.
We are getting on really well. We have been inundated with wonderful offers and it is terribly tempting just to pack our bags and head off around the world! We already have an exchange to the north of Spain in the first week of July and will exchange in New Zealand for a month in October. Now we are also waiting to decide what to do about an exchanges in Australia and Ireland in 2011. We still don't really know what to expect but we are excited by the prospect of it all! Thanks for your help and support.
Ms R, London, May 2010
I would like to say how pleased we have been with our first year as members of Homelink and are looking forward to another successful year. Overall we think the site is really good and the organisation well run.
Mrs S, Bury St Edmunds, April 2010
We've just renewed our subscription after 4 exchanges in our first year with you. We're now dedicated exchangers and have two more booked for this year already. Would definately recommend homelink and having looked at other (cheaper) sites it's worth paying a bit more!
Ms A, Lincoln, April 2010
Homelink really is a first class organisation. I have been houseswapping for years and have been with three different companies, but Homelink is head and shoulders above the rest.
Ms A, London, April 2010
2010 we have San Francisco and Cape Town lined up (both big houses with pools in smart suburbs) and Easter 2011 a very smart apartment in the Alps. So big fans as ever.
Mr R, London, April 2010
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your time when we spoke a couple of weeks back (we're the ones with the 5 month old who want to go back to Australia at short notice!!) and also to let you know the amazing response we've had. We've been lucky enough to get 3 great offers and are working with a lovely lady to exchange. She's experienced so is showing us the ropes; she's been great and we had a long conversation on the phone so I feel quite comfortable about the exchange. Her house looks beautiful and she's happy for Ben's mum to join us there so we're going to have a great family holiday over there. Without this we would have been either staying with friends or in some tiny self contained appartment!
Ms M, Berkshire, March 2010
We will renew [our membership]. It is a brilliant organisation and we have had some marvellous holidays.
Mrs H, London, March 2010
Thankyou for helping me get my proposed first exchange. I am so pleased i joined.. i am having fun just talking with others ... there's a big wide world out there!! Once again thankyou for your ongoing support.
Ms L, Suffolk, March 2010
Wonderful website, wonderful people - can't praise you guys enough!
Mr C, Brighton, March 2010
I have had a fantastic first year and am one of the individuals who must wonder why 'they did not do it years ago'. Last year we saw Philadelphia, New York and Perth. Planned for 2010 are Nice, Majorca, Seattle and Vancouver (with the hunt still on for our xmas venue). I am a strong advocate for the organisation as it has opened up so many affordable options for me.
Ms B, Sheffield, January 2010
We agreed a fab swap in San Francisco for this summer: In 12 months we will have had swaps in Hong Kong, San Francisco and Cape Town. As I have always said, we are big fans of Homelink!
Mr R, London, January 2010
...have had 2 offers already, one from USA and Germany and both houses look fab, it hasn't even been 24 hrs!
Ms C, London, January 2010
It wouldn't be New Year if we couldn't daydream about a home exchange.
Mr S, Colcehster, January 2010
We've found the Homelink service first rate - both the overall methodology and your own assistance. We have arranged two swaps. In particular, an exchange with a charming Italian couple with a wonderful villa directly on Lake Como has resulted in great friendship.
Mr S, Tunbridge Wells, December 2009
We wished we had joined years ago because we are thoroughly enjoying ourselves, thanks to you.
Mr D, Dorset, October 2009
I am delighted to have renewed my Homelink membership and would like to thank you once again for making our lovely exchange holidays possible. In the process, we have also made some lasting friendships (and, as we need reciprocal pet care, have met some very fine cats!)
Ms T, Bath, October 2009
Many thanks and we had two more successful exchanges this year two weeks in North Carolina and two weeks in Washington DC we can’t really understand why more people don’t do this!
Mrs W, Monmouth, October 2009
We have had a fantastic exchange year, being away from home in all for 3 months... Many, many thanks for all your help, support and understanding during the past year. You have been marvellous.
Mr & Mrs C, Devon, October 2009
Thanks for helping me to have spectacular holidays over the last 2 years!!
Ms C, Cumbria, September, 2009
We have just completed our 18th exchange, with car in Newport Rhode Island and thoroughly enjoy each one. Its a great way to see the world. We have exchanged in Costa Rica, South Africa, Provence x 3, Rome, S.Italy, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Vancouver, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Carmel, Florida, S.Carolina, Mexico and Ireland.
Mrs B, London, September 2009
We are having a fabulous time here in Florida and today we have been in Miami which was fabulous. We have already been on Skype to our next exchange partners in Queensland Australia in Feb/March next year. That will be our 4th exchange to Oz. Also we have had 3 exchanges to Vancouver. Wonderful.
Mrs H, Coventry, September 2009
Thanks Caroline, another great year with Homelink, more friends to see in the future.
Mr & Mrs H, Aberdeenshire, September 2009
We have had a great time and spent nearly three years away on exchanges since 2004, truly value for money.
Mr B, Stirling, August 2009
I just wanted to drop and email to say thanks for the advice on how to boost the advertising of our house on the website. It obviously worked as 2 days later we received an email from a family in San Francisco and we are now organising our first Home Exchange!
Mrs H, Devon, June 2009
We much appreciate your care in checking that things are going OK. We are due to go to an exchange home in Florida in June and have 3 consecutive non-simultaneous exchanges in New Zealand for January. Not bad for beginners!
Mrs H, Cumbria, May 2009
We experienced our first exchange over Christmas and are now addicted!!!.
Mr G, London, April 2009
It only took about two weeks from re-joining you to us having our next exchange worked out. Thanks to you and Homelink we are on our way
