Accessible AccommodationThe University of Tasmania has accommodation available over the summer period (start of December to end of January) at it's Hobart site. The site is located at Sandy Bay which is about five minutes drive from the centre of Hobart. There are nine wheelchair accessible units. They are situated in six bedroom apartments which each have a wheelchair accessible bathroom/toilet. Apartments come with TV, DVD, Austar and cooking utensils. Individual rooms have a king size single bed and mattress, wardrobe and mirror, heating, desk and drawers, study and easy chairs, telephones (no rental fee),security locks and pin boards. We also have a room with a double bed and several single bed rooms in the Colleges (with wheelchair access bathroom/toilet nearby). Guests can self-cater (all cooking utensils and crockery etc. provided in self-catering Apartments) or they can buy meals as required at our on-site dining room, regardless of where they choose to stay. All public areas (including the dining room) are also wheelchair accessible with ramps, though we do not have any lifts. The accommodation centre is set at the top of the campus amidst bush (we have wallaby's on the lawn in summer!) but this does mean that a car is needed to access the site, though we have car parks reserved for guests who need close access to accommodation. The site is also a steep one, but which brings beautiful views and there are ramps for access throughout. We would welcome interest from any of your members.
