Accessible Accommodation

More Information

Accessible Accommodation is the go-to website for people with disabilities to look for and book highly qualified accessible accommodation. Offering accommodation for holiday, respite, and short and medium-term stays for anyone with a disability, including seniors with access comfort needs, all over Australia.

With over 280 locations Australia-wide, you can search and book accessible accommodation, feeling secure knowing what you see here is exactly what to expect on arrival—supported by a dedicated team who also have disabilities and love to travel. They get it.

Choose from houseboats, hotels, resorts, glamping, apartments and holiday houses in every state.

Their tiered rating system, adopted by the Tourism Industry is the benchmark by which tourism operators should follow for accessible amenities. Because everyone’s needs differ, they have categorised differing needs of easily identifiable accommodation.

Assisted walking: for Walking Frame or Cane Users. Some accessible amenities would come in handy.

Independent wheelchair user: Wheelchair users who can self-transfer to bed and toilet.

Assisted wheelchair user: The guest is unable to lift themselves. Requires assistance of a support person or equipment, such as a hoist or an electric bed.

This will make it easier to narrow down your next holiday destination, respite or a place to stay for a few months.

The crew can assist with your booking via the phone number.
