A beautifully designed cabin ideally suited to the family. Consisting of both bedrooms separate to the main living/dining area, this cabin allows privacy, space and comfort for the whole family.
Within the Melbourne BIG4 Holiday Park are 2 x Two Bedroom Accessible Cabins for the benefit of those traveling with limited mobility or confined to a wheelchair. We were given access to Cabin No 123 which is a relatively new cabin located below the children's playground. This cabin has a large sealed car parking space nearby, leading to the covered deck - access via stairs or ramp.
On the deck, at the sliding door entrance to this cabin is a rubber ramp that will help a wheelchair negotiate the door tracks. This seems to be glued to the deck flooring – a wonderful idea. The ramp to the deck has a sensor light and there is an outdoor light switch for the external light when you arrive home after dark.
In the cabin you notice that the light switches are lower for those confined to a wheelchair with extra wide access to bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. Some of the power points are also positioned lower for easy access.
The living areas of this cabin are fully tiled with a large modular corner lounge, air conditioning, ceiling fan, TV and six seater dining table (top matches the kitchen bench). The kitchen is very well stocked with cups, plates, pots and pans. The upright stove has controls on the front edge and this kitchen is supplied with a dishwasher, fridge and microwave (under the bench). Dishwasher powder and dishwashing detergent are stored under the sink On the back wall of the kitchen is a lovely big pantry cupboard. The cabin has raked ceilings with exposed timber beams and plenty of natural light through the generous windows (each window has block out blinds).
The main bedroom has a queen bed with a large space on one side suitable for access by a guest in a wheelchair or someone requiring the aid of a walker. This room has a lovely large window providing plenty of light, and is equipped with a TV and ceiling fan.
Bedroom two has two x double bunks and another TV (a bonus for the kids) plus a wall fan. It looks as though the top bunks could be secured against the wall when not required. There is a deep wardrobe at the end of one of the beds and two large drawers under one lower beds. I did notice that there is an extra large space between the beds that could cater for wheelchair access.
This cabin has a lovely large 'fully accessible' bathroom for guest requiring extra space or assistance. The room has a huge shower (with shower curtain to enclose the space if required), fold down bench to sit and wash and a hand held shower nozzle that can be lowered for easy access. The toilet has a backrest and handrail. Beside the small hand basin is a trolley on wheels that holds spare towels and toilet paper. This room also has a lower power point and light switches within easy reach.
