About this house rental
Wheelie's Rest is run by Muscular Dystrophy Australia as respite holiday accommodation catered to those with physical disabilities, primarily wheelchairs and other mobility aids. The bathrooms are large, open spaces with handrails, with commodes provided. The house can cater anything from a single client and their carer to a large group, with the maximum sleeping capacity of 13.
The property also contains a side unit which sleeps three, and contains a kitchenette and full accessibility-friendly bathroom.
Wheelies Rest is perfectly situated on Smiths Beach Road, only minutes away from both the beachfront and the shopping and dining strip of Thompson Ave. The main areas for both eat-in and takeaway are located at the top of the island, about 6 to 8 minutes’ drive up Smiths Beach Road. While Wheelies Rest is intended to be a relaxing home away from home, there are tons of fun things to do around the island if you wanted to add a little sparkle to your respite! Nothing is more than 15 minutes away, such as the A Maze N Things theme park, Panny's Chocolate Factory, and the Antarctic Journey immersive experience.
The bedding arrangements are as follows:
HOUSE
1. 2x single beds
2. 1x bunk bed, 1x single bed
3. 2x hi-lo mobility beds
4. 1x bunk bed, 1x single bed
UNIT
1x bunk bed (single top bunk, double bottom bunk)
**PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO BEDDING PROVIDED - ALL GUESTS MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN PILLOWCASES, DUVETS & BLANKETS, TOWELS, etc. There is a laundry on-site for washing bedding.**
There is a courtyard with barbeque facilities, and the house contains a fully-stocked kitchen with crockery and utensils and air conditioning in the living-dining space. The side unit contains air conditioning in the main bedroom area.
For bookings of more than five people, please get in touch directly on 03 9320 955 or [email protected].
MDA acknowledges the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land on which Wheelies Rest is situated, and we pay our respects to their elders past and present.

8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
The layout of the house was exactly what we needed and with ceiling hoist. The house had con webs everywhere in the house, crumbs in the kitchen draws, the power kept tripping. Lights didn’t work in all the rooms. The yard was not mowed or maintained at all. The beds had dirty marks on them and what i would say are dust and dirt on all beds. The ceiling fan was thick with dust. The bbq is not safe to use. The photos i have added are only the outside. But like i said early in the review the layout and the hoists were great. The bathroom is comode friendly.

I recently stayed at this lovely house near the beach and had a wonderful time. The house is equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The beach is just a short walk away, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing holiday.I’d definitely stay again!

Layout, design and feel is Institutional, and it is an older property. It would benefit from improvement on maintenance and cleanliness of property. That said suitable to needs with essential equipment and nice area.
