Meet one of our partners: Gippsland Holidays, a family-operated business in Paynesville. Owners Amy and Will Geisler have supported StepUP! for Down syndrome in recent years with generous donations.
Amy and Will made the big move away from their hometown in South Gippsland five years ago with their three young children. “Running this business has given us a great understanding of a wide variety of guests, including families with children with disabilities and special needs – something that is particularly close to our hearts, having both attended a high school with a specialist school section that we were fortunate to interact with and grow up alongside.”
Their luxury accommodation is suitable for all the family and includes pet-friendly and accessible apartments. There’s also plenty to keep everyone busy with kayaking, outdoor games, a swimming pool, bikes and e-scooters. The Donald Duck pedal boat has been a huge hit with kids.
Amy and Will love supporting DSV and enjoy hosting our families at their resort. “It’s been very rewarding to see guests relax, explore and make the most of their time here in the Gippsland Lakes.” Thank you for your generosity, Gippsland Holidays
ID: Two tiles that both read "Partner profile: Gippsland Holidays". The first has a photo of the Donald Duck pedal boat on the water with some cabins in the background. There is a young boy wearing a life-vest standing in front of the boat with his feet in the water. The second has a photo of the Geisler family posing for a photo together under an inflatable Christmas arch.
