The Bellarine Peninsula in Wadawurrung country is a naturally beautiful part of the world. The owners of Claribeaux on the Bellarine have created their own pocket of wheelchair-inclusive beauty within it among the attractive Curlewis golf course.

Captain’s Cove Apartments was a great place to start our road trip, and we spent two nights and days surrounded by the gentle clink of ropes swaying against sail masts on the many boats and yachts docked around us. This inclusively designed two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is a joy to stay in.

Disability-friendly Basils Farm on the Bellarine Peninsula is a charming, rustic restaurant with magnificent views and is retrofitted to be wheelchair and mobility aid accessible both inside and around the beautiful gardens. I enjoy their food and service and that they have used common sense and some ingenuity to make Basils Farm dining as inclusive as possible.

A picturesque waterfront accessible roll/stroll leads to the historic promenade area and one of the most accessible restaurants/cafés I've ever been to – Pavilion Geelong. The kiosk and outdoor dining area greet us with the happy sounds of seagulls, mingling people, and bright piped music.

This nearly century-old California Bungalow-styled former home has been beautifully converted into a modern, accessible restaurant. The key historic elements have been cleverly retained such as the stained-glass windows and fireplace which have integrated perfectly with completely flush wide entrances, room for a wheelchair to navigate and an accessible bathroom.

This is possibly the best accessible accommodation where we could socialise as well as have space for the ever-necessary assistive tech that we’ve stayed in. After a 2 year gap Gaz and I met great friends that are travelling around our fair land.

As I need to bed height clearance to accommodate my transfers via a lift hoist, Ray, the manager, was very understanding and immediately accommodating. He purchased brand new legs that gave us a clearance of 14cm. Now future travellers can be assured of great bed clearance.

Quest Frankston on the Bay staff are committed to fully accommodating people with all abilities, and it shows. The service from the friendly team was wonderful, and certainly helped increase the Christmas vibe that we were all struggling to attain as Covid fallout was still stinging.

It’s great to know that even with the use of assistive technology AKA mobility equipment and a readiness to adapt and overcome we can spend a comfortable wheelchair user accessible night at Quest Glen Waverley.

After 20 months of rolling lockdowns our extended family of 13 were excited to be together again, and even more so to celebrate our much-loved Grandma/Mum’s milestone birthday.

After striking out on finding an accessible holiday home anywhere in Victoria to accommodate 14 of us the RACV Healesville came to the rescue. Set in a naturally beautiful and serene area of Victoria with local natural attractions our stay was a winner for our whole party.

We loved everything about Countrywide Cottage’s pet-friendly and accessible holiday accommodation. 4 beautifully furnished and maintained cabins with 1 extensively designed for inclusive living.

Time with my adult daughter is always a treasured activity and I had the joy of sharing a weekend not only with Amy but my sons’ partner’s and their Mum’s too. Talking, roller walking, eating and window shopping were high priorities on this beautiful Winters weekend. Wheelchair accessible 100 Hitchcock was the perfect base for such a relaxing time .
