An online accommodation and activity guide has been developed for anyone with mobility issues.
 
Access4all is an accomodation and activity guide intended for use by anyone with mild to major mobility difficulties, and an undiminshed desire to travel. It has listings of motels, apartments, holiday parks and activties in most of the major NZ destinations. More are being added all the time.


Every property listed includes an option of 1 or 2 bedroom accommodation for travellers with family members and/or caregivers
It is a graphic guide - its aim above all is to give impaired mobility vacationers confidence by showing what need to know places (especially bathrooms, entrance areas, bedrooms, surroundings) and activities are like. When people using the guide find what suits, bookings can be made directly from the site.
