ACCESSIBILITY REVIEWS
Sharing and reviewing my accessible travels through a disability lens
YAMBA GETAWAY - YAEGL COUNTRY - YAMBA, NSW~Accessibility Review
Nestled in the heart of Yamba, this one-bedroom renovated garage radiates a quirky charm and a warm ambience, offering a unique retreat just a short 10-minute drive away from the bustling tourist shopping and dining hub, as well as the sun-kissed beaches that define the coastal town. Attached to the main house, this unit provides direct access to a shared backyard deck area adorned with a barbecue, creating a perfect setting for relaxed evenings and casual gatherings.
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). In Australia, fully accessible holiday homes are a rarity, making 7 On Merindah a unique find. Coochiemudlo Island is largely wheelchair accessible, and will suit many people with disability

Ingenia Holidays Broulee - Yuin country - NSW~Accessibility Review
We arrived to the tantalising sounds of waves on the Broulee Rocks beach behind the dense scrub that separates it from Ingenia Holiday Park. The somewhat tired yet accessible unit has been modified for those using wheelchairs and requiring mobility assistance. However, it wasn't a comfortable stay as there were too many adjustments and workarounds to be made for my situation.
Captains Cove Apartments – Gunaikurnai country – Paynesville, Vic ~Accessibility Review
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.
Pier St Cafe Portarlington - Wadawurrung Country - Vic ~ Accessibility Review
Pier St Cafe Portarlington is refreshingly wheelchair accessible and in a beautiful part of the Bellarine Peninsula. With plenty of accessible parking in front, a smooth step-free path to a wide flush entrance and plenty of internal space, Pier St is one of the most disability-friendly dining venues around.
Hyatt Place Melbourne Caribbean Park ( Wurundjeri & Bunurong country) - Accessibility Review
Equal-access accommodation for people with disabilities is very hard to find. It's even harder to find lovely accommodation. Hyatt Place Melbourne Caribbean Park in Melbourne's outer Southeast suburbs is a great option for this mobility equipment wielding gal when visiting family and friends.
Huge Apartment, Moonee Ponds, Melbourne ( Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung country ) - Accessibility Review
I really enjoy doing accessibility reviews. This really large disability friendly and apartment only a few kilometres from Melbourne CBD and Tullamarine Airport is a welcome inclusion for those travelling with a disability and their families and friends. Moonee Ponds is a historic part of Melbourne with a buzzing community vibe. The paths and roads surrounding this huge accessible apartment are a dream to roll on. Inclusive Queens Park is a five-minute easy roll stroll too.
MACq01 Hotel, Hobart, Tasmania ( Nipaluna country) - Accessibility Review
After despairing that we may never find accessible holiday accommodation in Hobart my sister-in-law suggested the swanky Macq01.
As my physical abilities diminish due to LGMD ( Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy) Gaz and I are even more elated to find that rare combination of beauty, elegance, and accessibility that the Macq01 offers. These aesthetic factors are so often overlooked when accommodations are made for physically disabled people who wish to travel. Macq01Hotel takes inclusiveness seriously
Quest Frankston On The Bay (Bunurong Country)-Accessibility Review
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.
100 Hitchcock, Barwon Heads, Victoria ( Wathaurong Country)-Accessibility Review
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 .
National Aboretum Canberra (Ngunnawal Country)- Accessibility Review
I enjoyed the first day of my visit to our Nation’s Capital, wheeling around Canberra's more recent attraction - the National Arboretum - currently 250 hectares of around 100 types of tree vegetation from all around the world arranged and planned so beautifully.
