SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION

Short Term Accommodation (STA) replaces what used to be known as respite and provides people with a disability the opportunity to have some time away from home and for their families and carers to have a break.  Our Pottsville Short Term Accommodation House is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and is beautiful blend of residential and coastal living. Compliant with Disability Service Standards, it is suitable for people of all support needs.

Bring your Beach Getaway to Life

Escape to a home away from home just minutes away from one of the Tweed Coast’s most beautiful beaches.  Pottsville is a coastal town in the Northern Rivers of NSW, serviced by a small shopping centre with takeaway food, award winning restaurants, beachside hotel, supermarkets and surf and fishing supplies.  The many creeks and estuaries around Pottsville are great for canoeing, fishing and swimming.  Pottsville Environmental Park has paths that wind through natural bushland and you might even spot a koala.
