New Zealand is disabled-traveller-friendly, but that does not mean everything is rosy. Many public buildings, galleries and museums are accessible to disabled travellers, but as a rule restaurants and local public transport make few concessions.
Long-distance transport companies will generally offer disabled travellers help with boarding, but on-board access to toilets and other amenities can be difficult for wheelchair users. All accommodation in New Zealand should have at least one room or unit suitable for disabled travellers but the level of facilities and access varies considerably, often depending on the age of the building in question. On the plus side, many tour operators are prepared to go to that extra bit of trouble to enable travellers with disabilities to participate in activities Other useful information
