Testimonials
"I couldn't recommend Gerdien and Jamie more if I wanted to.
The positive impact they've both made on our son's life is incredible.
He had his first ever respite stay on the farm, and the work around that was so thorough and extensive with a casual visit first, then a few afternoon visits before the first overnight stay.
There is great effort put into developing goals and meeting needs..and I believe this is the best care he's ever had away from home, for which we're eternally grateful. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
The farm and accommodation is an absolute delight and Gerdien's experience and knowledge in the disability sector in particular, is of the highest standard.
Reading this I should maybe be keeping them to myself, because you should all beat a path to their door."

"Our daughter Kate spent many happy stays at Live Live Hive. Gerdien and Jamie have created a wonderful and safe environment.
They always made her stay special with lots of activities such as feeding the farm animals, fishing, bowling, cooking and art craft project.
The accommodation is very comfortable and has a lovely outlook over the property.
Live Live Hive is a credit to both Gerdien and Jamie.
We have now moved interstate and Kate still misses her happy times at Live Live Hive.
