Rest, recharge, and reconnect with comfort, care, and purpose-built support.
At Holistic Me, our Respite Accommodation services provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for individuals with disability, while offering their families and carers a much-needed break.
Whether it’s a short stay, weekend away, or part of a longer-term plan, our holistic respite model supports both the participant’s goals and the wellbeing of their loved ones.
We offer more than a place to stay—we provide a therapeutic, enriching experience. Our accommodation settings are inclusive, welcoming, and tailored to individual preferences, routines, and support needs.
What makes our approach unique:
Holistic Lifestyle Support
Physical, emotional, and social wellbeing are all prioritised
Experienced, caring staff
Qualified team members support participants 24/7 with empathy and skill
Fully Personalised Stays
Activities, meals, routines, and care tailored to each individual
NDIS-Approved
Our respite services are claimable under NDIS Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life)
What Is Included in Our Respite Services?
Every stay at Holistic Me is tailored to be both relaxing and meaningful. Participants receive:
Comfortable, accessible accommodation
Nutritionally balanced meals and snacks
Daily personal care and medication support
Optional therapeutic or wellness activities (e.g., mindfulness, sensory play, movement)
Opportunities to build social and daily living skills
Routine that reflects home preferences and personal goals
1:1 or group support as required
Whether it’s one night or several weeks, we work with participants and families to make respite feel like a true break, not a disruption.
Proud Supporters of SANAR
We’re proud to stand with SANAR in their mission to protect and rehabilitate native wildlife. As certified advocates and supporters, we actively assist in the rescue and care of injured birds—helping them heal, regain strength, and return to the wild where they belong.
Respite at Scott Creek: Nature, Peace & Connection
Nestled in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, our Scott Creek respite accommodation offers a tranquil escape surrounded by the natural beauty of Scott Creek Conservation Park. Guests can unwind among stringybark forests, seasonal creeks, and rolling hills. Animal enthusiasts will love the mix of local wildlife and gentle animal interactions — with wild kangaroos, koalas, and native birds often spotted nearby, as well as friendly chickens, bunnies, and rescue animals being cared for on-site before their return to the wild.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or a chance to reconnect with nature, our Scott Creek accommodation offers the perfect setting to relax and recharge.

I cannot speak highly enough of the incredible service we've received from this dietitian business. The team here has done a phenomenal job assisting my primary school age child, who now thrives thanks to their guidance. We previously tried an alternate provider, which unfortunately proved to be a waste of time. However, the exceptional staff here turned things around.
Their approach is both professional and welcoming, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere that has truly engaged my child. This supportive environment has been pivotal in achieving excellent results, allowing my child to focus on and benefit from the outcomes.
Moreover, they have been invaluable in providing recipes for meals that ensure the correct nutritional balance, addressing dietary deficiencies effectively. We are grateful for their dedication and expertise.
I highly recommend this dietitian business to anyone seeking top-notch support and results.

I found dietitian Rachel friendly and helpful. She didn't say what I must do. She advised me on research and diet to help my medical problems. I am more aware what food choices help. I have more energy now too
