Use the access levels to find a property matched to you: Assisted Walking, for guests who use a walking frame or cane or have limited mobility; Independent Wheelchair User and Assisted Wheelchair User, for manual and powered wheelchair users, including those who need a hoist; and Sensory Assisted, for guests with hearing, vision or other sensory needs.

You can also filter by the specific features that matter for your stay. For mobility, these include step-free entry, step-free and roll-in showers, fixed grab rails, glide-under vanities, height-adjustable beds, ceiling and mobile hoists, room under the bed for a hoist, and accessible parking. For sensory needs, look for features such as sensory rooms, hearing loops, visual and vibrating alerts, and service dog provisions.

Greater Melbourne is served by an extensive public transport network, with accessible low-floor trams, trains and buses across the metropolitan area, plus free tram travel in the city centre's Free Tram Zone. The flat CBD grid is easy to get around, while the suburbs range from bayside beaches to leafy parklands. Accessible stays across the region put you close to city attractions such as the Yarra River promenades, Federation Square and the arts and sporting precincts, as well as suburban and bayside options.
