Travelling with a wheelchair
We’re regular visitors to Port Macquarie and we’re still looking for an ideal holiday apartment which ticks all the boxes. Finding accessible, affordable, apartment accommodation (try saying that 3 times fast!) is hard to do. We’re still searching, but we did find Beachcomber Resort which is wheelchair friendly and fitted the budget for our recent stay. The resort is a few minutes from the centre of
Hyatt Regency Sydney is the luxury hotel Darling Harbour needed. Located in the popular dining and entertainment precinct this recently renovated property (previously Four Points Sheraton) offers 892 guest rooms, including two styles of accessible accommodation. Walking into the expansive hotel lobby there’s a feeling of opulence and elegance. Although decorated with modern fixtures the hotel maintains a warmth which is assisted by the welcoming hotel staff.

When AJ and I had our girl’s getaway in Adelaide I was determine that we return with a few hotel options to share with our community. Although we loved staying by the beach in Glenelg, we are aware the city is more convenient for many people. The Ibis Adelaide is in the heart of the city, just a short walk or wheel to Rundle Mall
Recently I discovered a hotel in Newcastle which is a wonderful surprise package with a distinct advantage over many places I’ve reviewed. Not only does it have a waterfront location but it has accessible accommodation with a view! Yes, you read right, accessible rooms with a view! I barely even dare to hope for the combination of a good accessible room and a view after being disappointed so
On our recent trip to Adelaide, AJ and I loved staying at Glenelg Beach so much, I was determined to find an accessible hotel to review so I could share it with you. We popped into the Stamford Grand Hotel Adelaide at Glenelg Beach and had the opportunity to have a look at one of the accessible rooms. Located opposite the beach, within easy reach of
Waking up in Glenelg each day I found myself heading straight to the balcony. I would open the door with gusto, taking in the sea air and sounds of the water lapping at the shoreline. I relish being by the ocean and I was grateful a friend suggested we stay in Glenelg rather than the heart of the city while visiting Adelaide. The position of the Oaks
Last weekend we enjoyed a staycation at the PARKROYAL Parramatta which is located about 35 minutes from central Sydney. The hotel offers three styles of accessible accommodation, with the recently opened extension delivering particularly stylish rooms. It’s so refreshing to walk into an accessible room which has a designer, rather than clinical, feel. When I first looked at reviewing the PARKROYAL I was thinking of families visiting Sydney for specialist
Imagine staying in an accessible resort where a phone interview is conducted prior to check-in to tailor your accommodation to your needs. A place where you have a choice of mattress, a ceiling hoist in your bedroom, height adjustable features, a range of accessible recreational equipment to try and educational opportunities. Not only that, these facilities are delivered in a stylish modern beachside resort. I’m
Sydney’s my hometown so you’ll have to excuse me for being biased but I think it’s a fabulous city. I love nothing more than wandering around the harbour, visiting the Botanic Gardens, or having dinner watching the sun set behind the Harbour Bridge. Sydney has great access with wheelchair accessible public transport and plenty of level areas to explore. There are many options for accommodation
Recently I whisked my Mum away for a night of decadence for her birthday. With only one night for our girl’s escape and celebration, a stay-cation in Sydney was the logical choice. Both Mum and I are five-star loving gals so we felt right at home walking into Four Seasons Hotel Sydney. I had an extra bounce in my step because I was finally going
Last week Hubby had an overnight trip to Albury. He was staying at the Atura Hotel in Albury and when I checked it out online I noticed they had their accessible rooms listed on the website. I always get excited to see hotels sharing their accessible accommodation along with their other rooms and I’m particularly impressed when they provide good information. So, I organised for
Hamilton Island offers guests an array of accommodation options including apartments, the ultra chic Qualia Resort (in my dreams I’ll stay there one day) and hotel accommodation at The Reef View Hotel. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to stay and review the Reef View Hotel’s accessible room on the last night of our stay on Hamilton Island. We’ve seen so many accessible rooms
Last weekend we took AJ away for her birthday. Unlike BJ, AJ is an animal lover and we thought we’d indulge her passion with a couple of nights at a NSW farm stay. AJ took charge of searching for appropriate places. Her main criteria was that there was horse riding available. She found High Country Trail Rides and although there was no specific wheelchair accessible accommodation, after enquiring
Canberra’s a destination which has become a firm favourite with our family. We’ve visited in all seasons and explored many attractions and it has continued to win over the kids through their different ages and stages. A few months ago we were pleased to have the opportunity to check out the Novotel Canberra’s accessible accommodation and we think it’s a winner. One of the features
Visiting Uluru (formerly known as Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (formerly known as the Olgas) is a unique experience. Apart from Disneyland I can’t think of anywhere else we have stayed where everyone has the same agenda. It’s a remote part of Australia with the nearest large town being Alice Springs, which is at least 5 hours drive from the resort. Guests staying at the Voyages Resort are
