Travelling with a wheelchair
When we were offered the opportunity to stay in one of the brand new cabins at Reflections Holiday Parks Seal Rocks I have to admit to not knowing much about the area. Seal Rocks is a sleepy coastal town which has kept it’s charm and avoided the development which often ruins such a gem. Reflections Holiday Parks Seal Rocks is set across the road from
I love Melbourne. I’ve explored the city with the family many times and I’ve been lucky enough to visit on my own too. I don’t know what it is about exploring Melbourne but it brings out a carefree me. So you can imagine I was excited to have the opportunity to stay in a hotel in an area of the city I was yet to
I have to admit we hadn’t stayed in holiday parks prior to having this website but over the years we’ve had the opportunity to review several and we’ve found they have some fantastic accessible facilities. Many of my preconceived ideas were proved untrue. Recently It occurred to me that it would be great to put them all into one document to make it easier for
After hearing many positive reviews from our readers about Byron Bay Rainforest Resort I was keen to check it out. So when we were in the area at the end of last year I popped in to take a look at the accessible facilities. I literally ran in to take photos while leaving the family in the car with the air conditioning on. It was
Lake Macquarie is only a 90 minute drive from Sydney and has plenty to offer visitors looking for an accessible getaway. First stop for us was our home for two nights, a poolside accessible villa at Swansea Gardens Lakeside Holiday Park. The wheelchair villa had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and a great location for accessing a lovely walk along the waterfront. POOLSIDE
Reflections Holiday Parks Bonny Hills was one of our favourite cabins we stayed in during our road trip. The accessible cabin is spacious and the holiday park has some of the most modern amenities we’ve seen in our travels. Bonny Hills is located about a 30 minute drive south of Port Macquarie and provides visitors with the best of both worlds, the quietness of the
Driving from Sydney to Ballina we decided to travel via the inland route. We wanted to break our journey part way and given we’d visited Coffs Harbour (check out the great cabin we stayed in at Urunga on that trip) earlier in the year we fancied somewhere different. The Tamworth area was our pick so we stayed with Reflections Holiday Parks Lake Keepit. Lake Keepit
Reflections Holiday Parks Evans Head is just an hour from Byron Bay and provides an ideal holiday location for people looking for a quieter town. Evans Head is located in the Northern Rivers region of NSW and is a small coastal town with a population of around 3000 residents. Reflections Evans Head is ideally located directly behind the surf beach and river. We stayed in
Reflections Holiday Parks Shaws Bay is our pick for being one of the most comfortable stays we’ve had in an accessible cabin. Not only that, the accessible cabin has prime position in the holiday park,providing guests with gorgeous views of the Richmond River from the verandah, lounge room, kitchen and main bedroom. So, if you’re visiting the Ballina area, or looking for a holiday destination,
Southbank is my location of choice when we visit Melbourne. I love the easy access to the heart of the city, being able to walk or wheel along the level paths beside the Yarra River and dining at the many restaurants. On our recent trip to Melbourne we only had one night in the city and I had a long list of things of things
When we planned to return to Hamilton Island in April this year we booked into the same apartment we’d stayed in on our last trip. Unfortunately, Cyclone Debbie had other plans and the apartment needed major repairs resulting in us not only altering the time of year we would travel, but also where we stayed. Hibiscus Lodge 1 was described on the Hamilton Island Holiday Homes website as single-level and
WARNING – This review contains unbridled enthusiasm, a touch of envy and many gratuitous photos of opulent accommodation surrounded by stunning scenery. I’ve declared many times I’m a five-star loving gal, so you can imagine it took no more than a nanosecond for me to agree to visiting qualia, a six-star resort on Hamilton Island. qualia is often featured in celebrity Instagram posts so I knew to expect
When visiting Cairns recently I was keen to see a variety of accommodation options because we know our readers have varying needs and budgets. While it’s lovely to be staying in accommodation on the Cairns Esplanade, it’s a prime location and you pay more for it. For this reason I thought I’d check out an apartment a short drive from town. Situated close to the centre of Cairns, Tropic
Recently I found myself visiting Brisbane for the second time in a month. Although in town for a conference, I was keen to take the opportunity to review a hotel with accessible accommodation in a good location. Swiss-Belhotel Brisbane immediately stood out as a great pick for our readers. Not only is it located on the edge of the popular South Bank Parklands, but it’s also opposite
Have you ever phoned a hotel to make an enquiry and immediately felt confident they truly understood your accessibility needs and enquiry? It’s rare, and that’s why when it does happen it immediately makes the hotel stand out from the rest.
