We specialise in weekend, overnight and emergency respite care for children and teenagers with disability. We have cared for children and teenagers with many diagnoses including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Asperger, Intellectual Disability, Global Development Delay, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Longer stays may be arranged by negotiation including public and school holidays. Care is provided in a group setting. To ensure a harmonious mix of clients we arrange a “Meet and greet” session with all new clients to assess their needs and suitability for our environment. The more information we have, the better we can accommodate your child or teenager and ensure they feel secure and comfortable. Dietary, medication requirements and any other special needs can be discussed at that time. About Linda

“Bless you Linda for the loving care given to children that others find ‘too hard’ and for the break it gives the families... Can’t recommend you enough to other parents of special kids... Speaking from experience here.” ~Arna

“As my child has a disability, I’m very particular about who cares for him. I find Linda extremely understanding of my child’s needs and he is totally comfortable staying with her. I find her professional, approachable and supportive. Her communication skills with both my son and myself are excellent. Linda’s knowledge of special needs and her regular attendance at professional development courses, makes her an ideal carer for my son. I’m very happy and very grateful for having Linda in our lives.” ~Peggy

“Our son has proven to have a few special needs including complex toileting needs and challenging behaviour. Linda has been very accommodating and supportive. She is very passionate about children’s wellbeing and happiness.” ~Carmel

Brush, ride, smile ………..what a morning!
On Saturday morning our amazing kids teamed up from the get-go—brushing horses, building obstacle courses, cheering each other on in the saddle, and even helping out at feeding time. Huge thanks to Jake and Glenys for creating such a calm, confidence-boosting vibe. The teamwork and gentle moments were simply heart-warming! 🐴😊

Ready for more adventure? Our next horse riding morning is already booked as part of a jam-packed weekend from Friday 19 to Sunday 21 December—think Christmas baking, festive crafts, and a sunny Bongaree beach morning!
Spots are limited—send us a message or give us a call to secure your child’s place today! 🐴🎄☀️⛱️
