Accessibility

Providing accessible travel opportunities to all travellers is important to us here at BIG4 Renmark Riverfront. We have implemented an accessibility program to improve our accessibility and create an inclusive customer experience for all travellers.

Download our personalised BIG4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park social script here to aid in the preparation of your trip.  Our Two Bedroom Family Villas are easily accessible for wheelchairs and prams with ramp access, a large bathroom with handrails, and seating within the shower area. The Family Bathroom has handrails, easy access showering, and an accessible toilet. We also have a Sensory Room that has been developed for use by families with a child or children on the Autism spectrum. *Participate in a Deakin University survey to help Occupational Therapy researchers learn more about sensory rooms in public buildings.  We offer a large print and braille park handout for guests with vision impairments.  We can accommodate early opening times for our pool and other accessible facilities when requested.  BIG4 teamed up with Emma from The Wiggles to create a social script, an essential tool for autistic people and their families to prepare for a holiday.

At the 2019 and 2018 South Australian Tourism Awards, our park was awarded the Excellence in Accessible Tourism award, recognising a tourism product/service that is welcoming for all people of all abilities.

“We are so excited to have won the Excellence in Accessible Tourism award. We’d like to thank The Good Scout Travel Co for their support and encouragement on entering the category this year, without that we wouldn’t have made a submission! Winning this award has encouraged us and given us even more inspiration to continue the development of our property, services and facilities to be more inclusive.”

Team training has been completed with Autism SA and in Auslan, and recent articles written about the Sensory Room include:

• The Good Scout Travel Co: SA Awards Make History.
• BIG4 Holiday Parks: Ground-breaking sensory room at BIG4 Renmark enhances holidays for those with autism.

Feedback about our Sensory Room has been extensive and very rewarding to read:

• "Wonderful inclusive initiative. Congratulations on leading the way in the tourism industry". Judy S.
• "Thank you, you just made my year. We've never done any travelling really because it terrifies me that my son wouldn't cope, and also that the noises he makes would possibly annoy others and ruin their holiday. I have been too scared to try it because I'm terrified we would be asked to leave. This gives me hope. I am buying a tent tomorrow, and will work towards a family trip here someday". Fiona S.
• "Well done to this park and we will hopefully visit here soon". Corriene B.
• "This initiative from your management team has left me gobsmacked! I feel so thankful that there are such people who think to cater for all types of families who love to holiday together. I cannot wait to stay at your park for the 1st time one day soon. My 8 year old autistic boy will make GREAT use of your thoughtful sensory room". Nicole K.
• "I'm a special education teacher in Adelaide and I am absolutely loving this. Well done BIG4 Riverfront Renmark". Alice J.

We are proud to be part of The Reilly Room Project with an aim to increase the number of sensory rooms available in holiday accommodation in Australia.  Find out more here.
