7 On Merindah – Quandamooka Country – Coochiemudlo Island, QLD ~Accessibility Review  

My latest accessibility review is on the charming disability inclusive '7 on Merindah,' nestled with charm on Moreton Bay's residential island, Coochiemudlo (the indigenous name, Kutchi-mudlo, for place of Redstone).

The Reef View Hotel on the edge of the Whitsundays was surprisingly wheelchair accessible in most ways.

I hadn’t stayed in many accessible hotel rooms since I have been wheeling and I recall this hotel being reviewed by one of my favorite accessible travel bloggers - Have Wheelchair Will Travel.

That’s less than .3% accessible accommodation available which is a long way under the percentage of disabled travelers of around 10%-15%.

Breakfast was plentiful and full of variety with a choice of dining in or sitting under a large covered patio area and enjoying the river activity.
