Accessible Accommodation Options: Where Comfort Meets Accessible Functionality

BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort features five thoughtfully designed accessible cabins, each designed to provide comfort and convenience. Among them are three Accessible Deluxe Studios and two spacious Accessible 2-bedroom Premium Cottage Deluxe cabins. These accommodations feature ramp entrances, extra-large layouts for easy wheelchair manoeuvrability, underbed clearance to accommodate a hoist, and accessible bathrooms equipped with essential amenities like grab rails and shower seats.

The self-contained cabins are not only functional but also fresh, bright, and styled with contemporary décor. They are completed with a deck area surrounded by a lush tropical garden to chill out.

For those requiring specific adaptations, such as guests who are blind or have low vision, there's a Deluxe Studio cabin specially designed to meet their needs. Detailed floor plans for each cabin type are readily available, ensuring you can choose the accommodation that best suits your unique requirements.

Accessible Facilities: Enhancing the Resort Experience

This is the best part of the stay. Often, accessibility is limited to the rooms. In the case of BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday, the resort goes beyond accommodation, offering a plethora of accessible facilities designed to enhance every guest's experience. Highlights include a pool hoist at the expansive lagoon pool, allowing all visitors to enjoy a refreshing swim.  The large 32m resort pool is also heated in winter, particularly helpful for those who are unable to regulate body temperature or sensitive to the cold.  The BIG, HUGE, MEGA Waterslide Park is flat and accessible, however, there are stairs leading to the bigger slides.

For convenient transportation around the resort, a customised wheelchair buggy is available, ensuring mobility is never a barrier to exploration.

Guests can also indulge in inclusive leisure activities such as movies under the stars at the outdoor cinema, which features level access for ease of use.  Families with children can enjoy the flat and accessible Animal Park where friendly farm animals await eager visitors, or the kids can engage in creative pursuits at Kermit’s Activity Hub, which is on one level with ramp access.

Furthermore, enjoy level-entry activities like the full-size tennis court, a fun oversized chess set, a playground, jumping pillows, a giant tipping bucket, outdoor table tennis and more.
