About AusKiwi Adventures

At AusKiwi Adventures, we believe that travel is a human right and that inclusivity is paramount in creating meaningful travel experiences. We understand that disabilities, whether temporary or permanent, should not be a barrier to experiencing the joys of travel. That is why we have made it our mission to provide inclusive and accommodating experiences that cater to individuals of all abilities and backgrounds.

Our commitment to inclusivity stems from the belief that travel is not just a recreational activity, but an essential aspect of human life. Whether it's enjoying our carefully planned weekend getaways or delving into diverse cultures through our week-long holidays, we strive to ensure that nobody misses out due to physical challenges or accessibility concerns.

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to explore and discover new places, to immerse themselves in different cultures, and to create memories that last a lifetime.

Reviews

Congratulations to Lynda and Jodie for the successful startup of AusKiwi Adventures. The opportunity for our son to go way for weekend and week-long stays could not have come at a better time as we are preparing him to leave home and move into supported accommodation.

We have had a long term relationship with you and as such have the utmost confidence in the care that you give. For him the bonus is that he gets to see many different places and has lots of different / new experiences.

Our son has come a long way since being involved with AKA and while it was initially difficult to get him on the bus he now says “I love AKA”.

Adelaide's Best kept secret ...

Congratulations ladies for a wonderful support get away .

My son keeps coming back home with a BIG smile and talks about his time away until the next trip.

I know he is being well looked after and having a happy time.

Which gives me great respite.

Thank you

Lorraine

Wow, Jodie & Lynda are amazing, caring girls. Can’t believe that accommodation, meals, ( and our son is celiac) everything was paid for by them for the adventure. The care was excellent & Jack was very happy. Every detail with Jack was attended to. I was astounded by the bill, it was half what others charge. Cannot recommended AusKiwi Adventures highly enough.

Renata

Both these ladies are awesome and have been a great support for both myself and my daughter.

my daughter loves them. She feels safe and I don't have to stress knowing that she is well cared for and safe. They also cater for her difficult dietary requirements. I can not boost about these ladies enough. I would be lost without them. Thank you for the care and attention you both give to us through the good, the bad and the challenging times

Trinity

Where do I start? These two Ladies are amazing ... they go above & beyond to make sure the special Humans in their care have a wonderful, fun filled adventure every time they go away. It’s more than job to them , they genuinely care about each & every one of their clients. Our Judy comes home so happy & excited telling us every little detail about her weekend & saying “I want to do that again , can I ? I can’t wait to do that again” ... The best bit is the great big beaming smile on her face

Jo

Absolutely perfect weekends for my 2 boys They enjoy interacting with the other clients & all activities & destinations arranged by Lynda & Jodie are just fantastic! Would have no hesitation in recommending AusKiwi Adventures

Morticia

My daughter just returned from a 2 day trip to Carrickalinga with AusKiwi Adventures. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. She has been on a number of trips with different organisations and said this was her best trip ever.

You won’t find any better caring women to look after your loved ones.

I would thoroughly recommend them.

Thank you to Jodie and Lynda
