This newly renovated and fully accessible, eight-bedroom home has two bedrooms dedicated to supporting people with high physical needs, a large kitchen, outdoor entertaining space with a barbecue, games room and a van to explore the local community and go on weekend adventures.
“Short term accommodations provide a safe and inclusive space for people with disability of all ages to have a short stay when they need a break from the everyday as well as helping to build independence,” a spokesperson said.
“It can be anything from an overnight stay to a weekend getaway or holiday, and it provides families and carers some time to relax and rejuvenate.”
First short-term visitor Matilda said: “It’s amazing! I love everything about the new house.”
Sunnyfield started as a family-built organisation 70 years ago thanks to Hazel Whiddon, a determined mother who wanted a better future for her son.
She put an ad in a local paper and discovered 18 other parents who all wanted to make a change for their children with disability.
Together they built Sunnyfield into what it is today.
“Sunnyfield has become like a second family for many clients, customers, and staff over the years and we’re hoping it will be the same for families in Greenacre,” the spokesperson said.
