    Resthaven respite cottage, Aldinga House, is available for older people looking for a ‘seachange’ near the beach.

    Managed by Resthaven Community Respite Services, this respite house is available for overnight respite. Bookings are essential.

    Day and overnight respite care is offered. Two well-equipped bedrooms offer an opportunity for a short break of up to two weeks, ideal when a carer needs time out for themselves.

    Whether you’re longing for an overnight stay, or a social day out, Aldinga House is designed for the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    This quiet home setting is just a short drive to iconic Aldinga Beach, where you can enjoy the sea air, walks or drives on the beach, and call in to a beach front café on your way back.

    Subsidised overnight and day respite is available for carers of older people through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme. Private and Home Care Package options are also available.
