Accessibility at Hotel Vera

The Tourello Suite is one of just seven personalised rooms at the boutique Hotel Vera Ballarat.

Sydney artist Tonee Messiah’s oil on canvas Left Side Living perfectly complements the space’s sunset shade, instilling a sense of romance and respite.

The room features a luxe king-size bed, Bed Threads linen, Salus body products and Tekla organic cotton bath robes.

Accessibility features include an automatic door which is opened with a key access card, lever handles on tapware, shower seat, grab handles on the shower and toilet, plus toilet backrest.

You might think that due to the décor, Hotel Vera is all about style. You’d be right, but it’s also about service (and access).

The Tourello Suite is the beautifully-appointed accessible room. The old circular servants’ switch sits across from the push button for the power-opening door – tradition next to stylish innovation, which is kind of a metaphor for this property.

The bathroom really is a masterclass in how style and access can not only co-exist but compliment one another. There’s even a light that softly radiates as the sensors find you in the bathroom at night.

Elsewhere, there’s a wide hallway connecting the ground floor rooms, a stairway with handrails and tactile indicators for visitors who are blind or low vision.

If you’re looking for a luxury, accessible stay in Ballarat, you’d be hard pressed to beat Vera.
