 RollAwayz opens in Google Earth to show the location of wheelchair accessible travel and tourism accommodation in hotels, resorts, motels, backpacker hostels and bed and breakfasts across Australia.
With Google Earth’s tools users can see exactly where it is and what’s nearby.
There are over 1300 properties on the map, and more are being added as they are identified.
Each location on this map has been reported as having at least one room that is wheelchair accessible. That means that there are no steps to get to and into the room, and that its bathroom has a stepless shower stall and a hand-held shower.
To ensure that your holiday and business travel won't be spoilt by an inaccessible room it is important that you check for yourself before booking. Speak to someone who has been in the room and is familiar with its access features. What suits one person might not be right for another so it’s essential to ask detailed questions.
In this map some properties that are noted to have self-contained accommodation have a minimum of a kitchenette. They may not have full kitchens or laundries.
For more information about the properties on the map contact SCInfo (61 2 9661 8855; information@scia.org.au).
