Our Story
WE UNDERSTAND DISABILITY & THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURE
As parents of four beautiful, unique children we understand the importance of respite for carers, parents, siblings and people with a disability. Having lived the disability and NDIS journey for the past 22 years we get it. That is why we want to share our property and the amazing healing power of nature to help people with a disability achieve their goals and dreams and to help our participants and their families to have the respite they need.
Your loved one with a disability can participate in as many or few activities as they like. We are situated in the Hunter Valley on a beautiful 8 acre property. We have walking trails, dams, animals, birds and tonnes of other wildlife, we have an abundance of things to do, including a mineral inground pool and therapy spa. Situated only 3 minutes from the Williams River in Clarence Town.
When you go through our farm gate you feel as though you have entered a nature sanctuary, an oasis of peace and serenity with opportunities to connect and explore.
