Experience Autism Friendly Stays at Dido’s Place in Hawkesbury

“I like to play with the sensory toys in the toy room and swim in the hot tub!”
— Harry, 8

So at Dido’s Place, we have begun our quest for inclusion, catering to children and adults on the Autism Spectrum by offering them a special holiday retreat which is comfortable and has been road tested by our very own family.
