Stay With Comfort and Confidence in Our Mobility-Friendly Stays

Looking for mobility-friendly short stay accommodation in Melbourne? You've come to the right place.

At Melbourne Furnished Apartments, we've launched a dedicated category of Mobility-Friendly Stays — a curated selection of fully furnished, low-barrier apartments designed for guests who value comfort, independence, and ease of movement.

Whether you're an elderly guest, recovering from surgery, using a mobility aid, or just need a little extra space to move around, these apartments are thoughtfully designed to make your stay easier.

♿ What Is a Mobility-Friendly Stay?

Unlike fully certified accessible accommodation, our mobility-friendly apartments focus on practical ease of access and everyday comfort. These properties are ideal for guests with mild to moderate mobility needs, such as:

Seniors looking for step-free access

Guests with walking frames, canes, or crutches

Post-operative or medical recovery stays

Families with prams

Each apartment in this category includes some or all of the following:

✅ Step-free internal layout

✅ Ground floor or lift-accessible entry

✅ Wider walkways and doorways

✅ Easy-access bathrooms (many with walk-in showers)

✅ Supportive, height-appropriate furniture

✅ On-site or easy-access parking

Please note: these apartments do not feature grab rails or roll-in showers unless specifically stated in the listing.

These apartments are designed to improve ease of movement but are not certified accessible under AS 1428.1. If you require fully accessible accommodation (e.g., grab rails, roll-in showers, specific wheelchair turning space), please contact us directly to confirm suitability before booking.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Mobility-Friendly Accommodation

🔹 What is mobility-friendly accommodation?

Mobility-friendly accommodation refers to properties designed for guests with mild to moderate mobility needs. These apartments typically feature step-free access, wider internal spaces, and easy-access bathrooms — making them ideal for seniors, post-surgery patients, or anyone using a walking aid.

🔹 Are your apartments wheelchair accessible?

While some of our properties offer wide circulation spaces and lift access, they are not certified as wheelchair-accessible under Australian Standard AS 1428.1. Most do not include grab rails or roll-in showers unless specifically noted. Please contact us before booking if you use a wheelchair or require full accessibility.

🔹 Do any apartments have step-free entry?

Yes — many of our mobility-friendly short stay apartments in Melbourne offer step-free internal layouts and ground-level or lift-accessible entry. Listings will clearly mention if there are any entry steps or thresholds to consider.

🔹 Are these suitable for NDIS participants?

Absolutely. While our properties are not officially NDIS-registered, they are frequently used by NDIS participants, carers, and support coordinators seeking convenient short-term or medium-term stays during medical recovery, home modifications, or respite periods. We’re happy to provide documentation or details on request.

🔹 Can I book on behalf of a patient, parent, or client?

Yes — we regularly work with family members, case managers, and health professionals. If you're booking on someone else's behalf, feel free to reach out for help choosing the most suitable property based on their specific needs.
