Why families choose us

Two hosts. One participant. One home.

We provide a host family setting with only one participant staying at any one time, so you have our full attention for the whole of your stay. Everything about the way we work is built around one idea, that respite should feel like being welcomed into someone's home, because that's exactly what it is.

One participant at a time

Never a crowd. You have the home, the hosts and the paddocks to yourself.

Hosted by Tony and Leonie

The same two familiar faces from arrival to farewell, with no rotating roster.

35+ years of nursing

Leonie is a registered nurse with deep experience supporting psychosocial disability.

A real family home

Not a facility. Ten peaceful acres you're welcome to make yourself at home on.
