Accessible Friendly places in NZ

We've been doing our homework!  Through our own personal adventures around our beautiful country we have started compiling a list of accessible places for Pompe patients.  If you have any you would like to recommend, please let us know!

​If you have any that you DON'T recommend let us know that too!


​

Hotels

Rotorua - Sudima.  No accessible toilets on the ground floor in the public area.  They are however fixing this problem.  Also putting a new ramp in the restaurant which looks like it will be really good.

Napier - Blue Water.  Accessible bathroom in room 1.  Also has a double bed and single bed.  Almost unheard of to get more than one bed in an accessible room!
​
​Taupo - ... Room 8.  One of the best wheelchair accessible rooms I've ever stayed in!  Really great non-slippy flooring!  Room 8 has a queen bed and another room with 2 single beds.  They also have a studio with an accessible bathroom.  I haven't tried that yet.


​Attractions

Masterton - Pukaha Mt Bruce bird sanctuary.  Mostly wheelchair accessible.  I think I only missed 2 aviaries through not being able to get to them.  So on the whole it was really good.

Rotorua - Hell's Gate.  I could get around the shorter walk on my mobility scooter but needed a little help to stop my scooter tipping over.  I didn't try the longer walks due to time restraints.
Thank you for visiting us @ NZPN
