Thanks to SabbaticalHomes.com, we found the perfect match for us! Between Amsterdam, Netherlands - Auckland, New Zealand: since both families have young children, we could all be sure of child-safe houses and having all the baby paraphernalia. We are now fully enjoying the NZ summer in a beautiful rural house (with chickens!) which is all that we could have hoped for. Our exchange family also seems to like snowy Amsterdam so thanks again from all of us!
