Novotel Melbourne South Wharf Hotel

The following is a series of excerpts from Havewheelchairwilltravel.net: The accessible accommodation at Novotel Melbourne South Wharf has been well designed. It was such a joy to see a contemporary room combined with well thought out accessible features. The room is spacious with great circulation space for a wheelchair user and ample space on both sides of the bed to transfer from a wheelchair to the bed. The beds have been lowered to make transferring easier for guests using a wheelchair but it does leave little clearance under the bed for a hoist. The drawers in the accessible rooms have been fitted with handles to make opening easier (there are no handles on the drawers in the non-accessible rooms), the safe is lowered and there is two levels of hanging rack in the wardrobe.

ACCESSIBLE BATHROOM

It was a pleasure to walk into a large accessible bathroom with grab rails throughout, a height adjustable hand-held shower and flip-down shower seat. The toilet seat is fitted with a back rest and there’s a good circulation space to transfer to the toilet or shower bench. The bathroom is equipped with lever taps and a wheelchair accessible sink (the sink even has room for a toiletries bag!).
