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.

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

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.

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.

We travelled overnight return on the Spirit of Tasmania ship, Spirit 1, between Melbourne, Vic and Devonport, Tas. We chose to sail to Tasmania as taking our modified car with my equipment was the only logical economic and convenient choice.

This was our first wheelchair-using, equipment-requiring trip to Tasmania, and despite a fantastic accessible booking process, I was still a little nervous as to how the experience would go.

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.

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 .

I have always enjoyed visiting our nation’s capital and have explored it with our young children and sans wheelchair a few times over the years. Canberra’s political and cultural history, the planned beauty of the city and suburbs, the symmetrical town planning of buildings and spires and gardens is enjoyably unique .

We chose the East Hotel nicely located in the Manuka Shopping Precinct through recommendation and proximity to the central city location. Of course everything’s close to Civic in Canberra.

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. I was very impressed by what I saw as a truly accessible room yet disappointingly, as I found out later, this is the only one they offer in their 359 room establishment. That’s less than .3% accessible accommodation available which is a long way under the percentage of disabled travelers of around 10%-15%.
