NDIS

Short Term Respite for NDIS participants

A calm, supported place to recharge while your carers take a break. We offer Short Term Respite stays for NDIS participants who have respite funding in their plan and receive significant daily support from informal carers.

A peaceful setting and a gentle routine give you room to rest and reset, while your family or carers have time to look after their own wellbeing. Every stay is anchored in your NDIS goals and disability-related needs.

What a stay includes

  • Somewhere calm to sleep

    Overnight accommodation in a calm, sensory-considerate, self-contained cottage in the heart of Kyneton.

  • Support with the day

    Help with daily routines in line with your assessed needs: getting ready for the day, gentle prompts around meals, and bedtime routines.

  • Room to settle

    Light support with emotional regulation, such as guided breathwork, quiet time and gentle grounding practices, where appropriate.

  • Meals

    Simple, nourishing meals and refreshments, either as part of an all-inclusive daily rate or as a clearly separate, self-funded extra, depending on your plan.

  • Independence, at your pace

    Chances to practise independence in a safe setting, for example managing your own morning routine with soft support from our team, as agreed beforehand.

Funding

What NDIS funding covers

  • What it covers

    Eligible accommodation and support, in line with current Short Term Respite guidelines. Short Term Respite isn't funded for holidays, tourism or luxury travel.

  • What is self-funded

    Spa rituals and specialised therapies usually aren't NDIS-funded, and are offered as self-funded additions if you'd like them. Leisure activities, shopping trips and tourism experiences are self-funded, and only included if they suit your goals and risk profile.

  • Who we can take

    Self-managed and plan-managed participants. Stays can be funded from your Short Term Respite or Assistance with Daily Living budget, if it's in your plan and meets NDIS criteria.

  • Before your stay

    We work with you, your support coordinator or recovery coach, and your carers to agree a support plan that meets the NDIS reasonable and necessary criteria.

  • How it is invoiced

    NDIS services are invoiced when they're completed, on 7 day payment terms. Balances unpaid after that are charged a fixed $25 late fee plus interest at 3% a month, charged daily until paid.

Paying less

Rebates and concessions

  • Health fund rebates

    On remedial massage, myofascial cupping and lymphatic drainage with our remedial massage therapists, Inta (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and Tracy (Sundays). Please check with your fund first: not every fund recognises their qualifications.

  • Concession card holders

    $30 off

    If you hold an eligible health care card or concession card, you get $30 off all our services.

Yesterday I had the most amazing facial and massage with Claudia. From the moment I walked in I felt instantly nurtured, the whole experience made me feel taken care of. What an amazing place, the products used are beautiful and the ambience throughout was so relaxing. I would definitely book again the next time I am in Kyneton.

My husband Gary and I went to Maiaveda for a Panchakarma, an Ayurvedic cleanse. We were welcomed with a lot of warmth and reassurance. Each visit was filled with genuine love, support and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Both my husband and I could not recommend it more highly.

The moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so calm and welcoming. The massage itself was exactly what I needed, easily one of the best I have ever had. Claudia was highly skilled, attentive, and made sure to check in at the right moments. I cannot wait to book my next appointment.

It was my husband's birthday and we booked massages for my family. They even had an option for our 7 year old daughter. Clean rooms, clean towels, great ambiance. Claudia made sure I was comfortable throughout my massage. My new favourite spa.

How lovely that my two hour experience was a purely selfish indulgence. I was kept warm the whole time and even drifted off to sleep. Cannot recommend Pam or the service I experienced highly enough.

From one tired and sore mum, the pregnancy massage was beyond incredible. Marye welcomed me with such warmth. Claudia's massage was amazing, I actually walked out feeling like I was floating. It was not just a massage, it was a whole mind and body reset.

I have been visiting Maiaveda for the past six years, and it continues to be my absolute sanctuary. During my current pregnancy I had massage with Claudia, and she was incredible. I always walk out feeling lighter, calmer, and genuinely cared for.

Thank you Marye and Pam. 90 minute massage, scrub and reflexology treatment. Gentle, warming and restorative. We are very fortunate to have this business in Kyneton. You will be in very good hands.

Maveida Spa is such a beautiful experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into the space. The massage and facial was a truly sensory and holistic journey and I left feeling wonderfully restored, relaxed and nurtured. I would highly recommend Maveida Spa. ✨

I attended the Women's Embodiment Retreat at Hepburn Springs. It was a beautiful peaceful setting. Mayre has a warm, generous, nurturing and healing spirit, as does her team that assist her, and makes the whole weekend flow effortlessly. A beautiful balance of yoga, meditation, life lesson wisdom and different workshops to try eg drumming and shigong, hammam experience, massages on offer, hot tub and cold plunge, a firepit circle at night, delicious food. This is a soul nourishing retreat, no pressure, welcoming, with other like minded women sharing a weekend together, looking for sustenance to continue with our busy lives. A weekend of self care. All I had to do was show up. Mayre took care of the rest. Highly recommended.

I had an incredible time at Maiaveda. Each of the treatments I received were so wonderful and Pam had me feeling so relaxed and held. The attention to detail, and the in between treatment moments are where I especially noticed just how much care was put into the experience being wonderful. I definitely recommend!

Marye has created a true sanctuary. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt completely enveloped in a sense of peace. Marye radiates a genuine, warm and nurturing energy that is incredibly rare to find. She took the time to listen to exactly what my body and mind needed, tailoring the experience with such profound care and kindness. During the treatment, I felt completely safe to let go and deeply rest. If you are looking for a place to heal, unwind, and feel genuinely nurtured from head to toe, this is it. I cannot wait to return.
