Travelling with a wheelchair
I’ve made no secret of my love for the Blue Mountains region in Australia. We will often visit on a day trip as a family but sometimes it is nice to visit minus the kids. Although Lilianfels cater well to children, I rather like enjoying the hotel’s grandeur as a grown-up experience. Last year high tea in the lounge proved the perfect treat for my
School holidays are upon us so I thought I’d put together a list of outings we have enjoyed which are accessible.
