We understand that going on a holiday when having a child going through treatment and therapy for a life-threatening illness can be financially difficult. It is also difficult when families have recently experienced the bereavement of losing a child.
The Kyle Andrews Foundation provides a week of complimentary holiday accommodation for eligible families with children.
This cottage is also available to nursing staff working in the Oncology Ward at the Perth Children’s Hospital for a minimal cost.
Respite for families and carers is so important for the health of everyone.
We want the families to be able to have the option to go on a holiday, escape the day-to-day stress, to have a break and recuperate. Often children who have been on Kyle’s Camp share photos, videos and stories of their exciting trip and want to return with their family. Kyle’s Cottage was set up for this purpose, to support unwell children with a family holiday in Broome, or for families who have suffered a recent bereavement.
The cottage is a large, modern, fully furnished and tastefully decorated three bedroom, two bathroom, open plan living residence with facilities for people with a disability. Of course, we have a swimming pool because we think that’s an important element to having a great holiday!
The cottage can accommodate up to 8 people and is self-contained; all you need to bring is your personal clothing and toiletries and provide your own food on arrival.
We’d like to thank the tremendous support from local Broome businesses and people that donated their time, money, materials, and goods to the development of the cottage. The Broome community are incredibly proud of this cottage and what it provides to Western Australian families.
Families in need of respite accommodation are welcome to apply for a seven-night stay.
To apply for a reservation please use the request form on this page.
Our team of volunteers will review each application and booking allocations are confirmed from these online requests. First visits will take precedence over families requesting subsequent bookings.

We will consider applications for a holiday lease of Kyle’s Cottage at a nightly rate when the house is not being used by families for support. This revenue supports the ongoing costs of the property. The Cottage will be based on availability, although peak periods such as school holidays are not available for general holiday bookings.

We’ve created our donation page and provided a range of different ways you can donate, from regular debits to a one-off contribution.
The smallest donation helps us bring joy to a child experiencing a serious illness.
Our volunteers celebrate (high-fives) each and every donation. It’s incredibly special for us because we truly know the difference it makes for the kids and their families.
