The Ridge Homestead
Special Needs Resort
About
Bendigo Central Goldfields Victoria is the ideal getaway. it's just an hours drive from Melbourne's Northern Suburbs, set amongst a tranquil bush environment, with native wildlife and birds. I organise package holidays which are all inclusive. Accommodation, Linen, All Catering Organised, and Activities. If you prefer to run your own holidays I offer Bed & Breakfast, Bed only, or Full use of The Ridge and The View at affordable prices. I have worked and cared for families with special needs for many years, and now I live and enjoy country life. I believe I can offer you a unique opportunity to have a wonderful holiday designed around your needs. The Ridge Homestead is a fully self contained 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom house ideal for people with special needs, we can cater for high dependency people. Bendigo Attendant care service is available. The View is a similar house which caters for families and smaller groups and has the capacity to sleep from 2 to 12 people. Both homes are within walking distance of each other. The homes are set on a 100 acre cattle farm 15 minutes from Bendigo. Ideal for groups, carers retreat, family get togethers or respite. My vision has been to share this with my special friends: hence I have set out to organise these holidays. Please browse my website for images of the homestead, with the affordable package rates on offer.

Testimonial from Vision Australia Foundation Dear Jan, I am writing to you on behalf of Vision Australia Foundation and the group of vision impaired women who attended a holiday with you from the 8th to the 10th of May, 2001. I would like to extend to you my appreciation for the special time you provided us. I feel that you are able to offer people with special needs something particulary unique and rare. I spent a great deal of time searching for accommodation that was suitable to the needs of elderly people who have a vision impairment. These efforts were tiresome and quite unsuccessful until I located your service on the internet. the fact that you were able to coordinate the complete holiday package was an absolute bonus. The networks and relationships that you have established within the tourism sector of Bendigo ensure that people with disabilities visiting tourist centres with you, are treated with kindness and that any special needs that they may have are catered for. Jan, I am often getting inquiries from community service providers and individuals with a disability about accessible accommodation within Victoria. It will be with confidence that I recommend Jan's Special Needs Travel to anyone interested in visiting Central Victoria.... ...Again I would like to thank you very kindly for the most enjoyable experience that you provided our group. Please extend this appreciation to others that we visited like Beryl from the Beeswax Cottage, the potter at Bendigo Pottery and or course the tour guide at the Chinese Museum. Keep up the good work. Yours in Appreciation. Rachel Barbara Recreation District Officer Vision Australia Foundation
