    TESS’ Retreat

    Overnight & Community Respite Care in Mornington Peninsula

    Respite care comes in a number of forms.

    Tess’ Retreat offers overnight and day respite support in a cosy and welcoming three-bedroom cottage. We work with you to arrange respite tailored to your requirements, with overnight respite, up to 3 or 4 nights at one given time.

    Our customised cottage is nestled on the boundary of our beautiful Village Glen retirement village in Capel Sound, on the Mornington Peninsula.

    Tess’ Retreat guests will also enjoy the beautiful, spacious, private and secure outdoor garden areas.
