Accessible Accommodation Guide

The Accessible Accommodation Guide has been produced by the Coffs Harbour City Council Access Advisory Committee after assessment of the accessible accommodation listed in the Coffs Harbour local government area.  The committee only assessed accommodation establishments claiming to have accessible accommodation.

The intention of the guide is to assist intending disabled visitors to this area to select accommodation most suited to their needs.  Due to the age of many of the establishments many do not comply with the latest code requirements, however, the level of accessibility adaptation may suit some people depending of their level of disability.

The information given in the guide was as found at the time of the assessment inspection during the period August, September and October 2004.  Coffs Harbour City Council accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the information given in the guide.

Intending visitors are strongly advised to contact the management of any establishment they choose to stay at and confirm that the described details are current and suit their particular needs BEFORE confirming any booking.
