Our organisation has created, and continues to acquire, patient accommodation for the express purpose of assisting cancer patients and their families who need housing during their period of treatment. The accommodation offered by Cancer & Bowel Research Trust is an Australian first and is quite unique. All properties are self contained, 2-3 bedrooms, and of high standard, to provide not only comfort to the patient and their families but also a degree of respite during their treatment period.

Testimonials
I found the unit to be exceptional as it was within walking distance of the Royal Adelaide Hospital and it was central to shopping on Rundle Mall and Hutt Street.
- Graham Jolly, Naracoorte.

It has proved far more than we anticipated in aiding our well being during a challenging time. The extra bedrooms,space and homely feel has enable us to be surrounded by the love & support of family members and friends. The market, parklands, Botanical Gardens & nearby church have provided stimulation, beauty and peace. The cleaning service has been an added bonus. We can not impress our gratitude enough for this amazing provision.
