There simply isn't a "one size fits all"
Our three categories by which we rate an accessible property has become the benchmark for Accessible Tourism. It’s not just guests that enjoy peace of mind, but accommodation providers too. As a business, you know exactly where you stand in your accessible offering.
Because everyone’s needs differ, our comprehensive FAQ for each listing helps answer guests’ unique needs. To help make it simple, we have also categorised the differing needs of people to help make it easily identifiable. They are: Assisted Walking, Independent Wheelchair User and Assisted Wheelchair User. We classify each property or service based on the information you provide and use the icons below to clearly identify the level of accessibility of your property/service.
Assisted Walking
Walking Frame, Rollator or Cane Users. Some accessible amenities would come in handy.
Independent Wheelchair
Wheelchair users who can self-transfer to bed, shower and toilet.
Assisted Wheelchair

Our Story
Kerry and Grant Williams are the people behind Accessible Accommodation. They have family members that frequently require accessible accommodation and also own a fully accessible holiday rental. They’ve seen both sides of the importance of good information for people with disabilities, from the perspective of people needing accessible accommodation, and for people owning and managing accommodation that is accessible. Accessible Accommodation employs staff who have a disability. They understand the complex needs of people with disabilities, one of the fastest growing travel sectors in the world.
Accessible Accommodation offers tech-savvy support and intimate knowledge of digital marketing, and experience managing an accessible holiday rental, as well as travelling with a disability. These attributes are vital in today’s tourism climate. We have also launched Accessible Experiences (link HERE).
