Wheelie's Rest is run by Muscular Dystrophy Australia as respite holiday accommodation catered to those with physical disabilities, primarily wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

The house can cater anything from a single client and their carer to a large group, with the maximum sleeping capacity of 13.

Wheelies Rest is perfectly situated on Smiths Beach Road, only minutes away from both the beachfront and the shopping and dining strip of Thompson Ave. The main areas for both eat-in and takeaway are located at the top of the island, about 6 to 8 minutes’ drive up Smiths Beach Road. While Wheelies Rest is intended to be a relaxing home away from home, there are tons of fun things to do around the island if you wanted to add a little sparkle to your respite!
