Accessible hotels and motels
<--- return to Hot Topic index
Q: I want to take a trip from Sydney as far north as Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast and can only travel up to 300 km before needing to stop and spend the night. Can you provide me with a list of accessible accommodation at various points along the way, say around Forster, Coffs Harbour, Byron Bay, the Gold Coast and finally the Sunshine Coast?
A: Our Google Earth overlay, RollAwayz, shows the location of accessible properties around Australia. Using it you will see where you can stay on your journey. CLICK HERE to get your copy.
Also, we can provide a list of accessible accommodation according to various criteria including whether you require accommodation which is: in the central business district or within a certain radius of a state or territory capital; in or near a specific town; and self-contained, hotel/motel or youth hostel-style accommodation. We always recommend that you contact the accommodation prior to booking and speak to someone who knows the features of the accessible accommodation and other facilities such as the reception area, restaurant, parking etc so that you can be sure your needs will be met.
We can provide the information in whatever form you need—email, fax, in the mail.
