At Barney Creek Vineyard Cottages, our commitment to supporting families of neurodivergent children goes beyond hosting retreats.

We are deeply passionate about fostering a community where autism and other neurodiverse conditions are understood, respected, and celebrated.

As parents of two neurodiverse children, we have experienced first-hand the challenges and triumphs that come with raising children who think and experience the world differently. This personal journey has fuelled our mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these families.
