Step-free routes connect major guest areas, including reception, dining and parking. Our team is also happy to assist with luggage.
If there is anything that would make arrival or moving around the property more comfortable, please let us know before you arrive.
Dining, Dietaries & Wellbeing
Risby’s Restaurant and The Mill offer flexible dining arrangements wherever possible, including for guests with mobility requirements.
Our culinary team can accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements, allergies and food intolerances. Advising us before arrival allows us to plan ahead and tailor menus and dining experiences where possible. Large-print menus are also available on request.
For quiet moments, guests can enjoy guided meditation, First Nations sleep stories and other wellbeing experiences in the privacy of their suite. The peaceful waterfront setting and private outdoor spaces offer opportunities to slow down and reconnect at your own pace.
Experiences, Tailored to You
Many Risby Cove experiences can be adapted to suit individual needs, subject to the nature of the experience and external operating conditions.
Our concierge team can discuss mobility, sensory or other accessibility considerations before arrival and help identify experiences that may be suitable. Where possible, we will work with our experience partners to make arrangements that allow you to participate comfortably.
Your Stay Begins Before You Arrive
Our pre-arrival concierge service is available to help you plan a stay around your individual needs.
From discussing the suitability of your accommodation to planning dining, arranging assistance or exploring accessible experiences, our team is here to make the details feel simple before you arrive.
Assistance Animals
Certified assistance animals are welcome at Risby Cove.
Guests travelling with an assistance animal are encouraged to contact our team before arrival so we can discuss any arrangements that may be helpful during your stay.
Our Commitment
Accessibility at Risby Cove is guided by the same philosophy that shapes every aspect of our hospitality: personalised care.
While our historic waterfront setting means that some aspects of the property cannot be changed, we are continually looking for ways to improve accessibility across our accommodation, services and digital experience. Your feedback helps us understand where we can do better and where thoughtful changes can make a meaningful difference.
