BELMONT LAKESIDE HOLIDAY PARK – ACCESSIBLE LAKE MACQUARIE ACCOMMODATION
As a family we review a lot of accommodation so it’s pretty hard to impress us these days. Occasionally, and I mean very occasionally, we see something that gives me tingles. That feeling comes from seeing a property which is outstanding, a place …
INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL SAN FRANCISCO – ACCESSIBLE SAN FRANCISCO
Walking into the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco I felt an air of opulence envelope me. I knew immediately I'd feel right at home and was disappointed my stay was only one night. The location near Union Square also provided a great base for …
NORTHPOINT APARTMENTS – ACCESSIBLE PORT MACQUARIE
We're regular visitors to the Port Macquarie region and we've stayed in a variety of apartments and houses in the area over the last 20 odd years. I've always been keen to stay in Northpoint Apartments because of its ideal location and incredible …

New York is filled with a dazzling number of hotels, but if you don't know your uptown from downtown, you're probably confused as to where to rest your head in the city that never sleeps. Location is key in New York. While the bus system is fully …
RILEY CRYSTALBROOK COLLECTION RESORT – CAIRNS ACCESSIBLE ACCOMMODATION
When I travelled to Cairns in October, Riley, a Crystalbrook Collection Resort, was the new kid on the block. And what a unique stamp it has made on the hotel scene. Although travelling without the family on this occasion, I was keen to check out …
THE WESTIN BRISBANE – ACCESSIBLE ACCOMMODATION BRISBANE
As a city, Brisbane has been lucky to have several new hotels with accessible accommodation open in recent years. On my last visit I stayed at the Westin Brisbane. It came highly recommended and has some lovely accessible features. Located in the …
