ADELAIDE HILLS EXPERIENCE

Best Life Experiences allows you to explore the Adelaide Hills with accessible accommodation and carers who will support your needs. Please note that, as per the NDIS respite guidelines, this package does not include accommodation, activities, meals, and transportation.

Best Life Disability Services believes that your experiences should allow you to build capacity by exploring and learning about the places you visit. As such, you will receive a welcome pack with a travel journal at the start of your respite. Here, you can record your adventures with instant images taken by your support worker to look back on.

During your weekend away, you can participate with fellow traveller's in gathering information and collecting mementos of your trip with our Scavenger Hunt.
