Today is Mother’s Day in Australia.

And today — we’re on the road in Bali.

Morgan is unwell.

Quiet.

Trusting.

Finding comfort the only way she knows how.

This is motherhood for Jodi.

And for so many mothers like her.

It doesn’t pause for holidays.

It doesn’t look like the cards.

It doesn’t always feel like the celebrations.

It looks like early mornings and late nights.

Like advocating in rooms where no one understands.

Like planning every detail of a trip so your daughter can experience Bali.

Like giving up a rare night away to come home because she needs you.

Like sitting on a sofa at a family celebration — Morgan resting beside you, both of you smiling — and feeling like everything is exactly as it should be.

Jodi is Morgan’s mother.

And Morgan’s carer.

And Morgan’s greatest advocate.

But she is also Sydney’s mum.

And Halle’s grandmother.

Three generations of women.

Three different kinds of love.

All of them extraordinary.

Jodi has never once asked for recognition.

She just loves her family.

Completely.

Unconditionally.

Without limit.

But today — on Mother’s Day — we want to say it out loud.

To Jodi.

And to every mother of a disabled child reading this.

You are seen.

You are heard.

And the love you give — even when it’s hard, even when it’s lonely, even when no one else understands — matters more than you will ever know.

Happy Mother’s Day to every mother in our community. 🤍
We see you.

We honour you.

Today and every day.

From Daniel, Morgan, Sydney & Halle 🌴

For years — getting Morgan into her delta buggy meant the same thing.

Jodi on one side.

Daniel on the other.

Lifting her by her arms and legs.

Every. Single. Time.

It worked.

But it was hard on our bodies.

Hard on Morgan’s dignity.

And honestly — hard on our hearts.

This trip to Bali we did something different.

We brought the Perfect Lift

It’s a lightweight portable lifting harness — designed to allow 2–6 people to safely and comfortably lift and transfer a person anywhere.

Chair to wheelchair.

Sofa to buggy.

Anywhere to anywhere.

Here in Bali — Daniel and Morgan’s cousin Michael used it to lift Morgan into her delta buggy for the very first time.

Smooth.

Dignified.

Safe.

And so much easier for everyone.

Morgan was completely relaxed throughout.

We all were.

The Perfect Lift was created by an American family who have a disabled child — people who understood this problem from the inside out.

We purchased ours through Beachwheels Australia

If you’re a carer family who lifts your loved one regularly — please look into this.

Your body will thank you.

So will they.

This is not a paid partnership — just a family who found something that works and wants every carer family to know about it. 🙏🏻

Morgan remains completely relaxed and calm throughout the entire process.

Part 3 of our Bali arrival series — and this one is important.

We need to talk honestly about our villa.

Bayshore Beach House in Sanur is a beautiful property.

We know the owner.

We’ve stayed here before.

We love it.

But is it wheelchair accessible?

The honest answer is — it depends entirely on your situation.

Here’s what we found…

❌ The front gate.

Morgan’s delta buggy is 64–70cm wide.

It does not fit through the front gate.

Not even close.

We use the carport entrance instead — which is wide and easy.

✅ The carport gates — wide and accessible.

✅ Wide front door — small lip.

✅ Interior — mostly step free throughout.

✅ Wide exit door to private pool area.

✅ Pool surrounds — completely step free.

⚠️Bedroom doors - not wide enough for Morgan’s chair.

⚠️ One small step down into the en-suite.

⚠️ No grab rails in bathrooms or toilet.

⚠️ Pool entry — single handrail only. Not independently accessible.

So why does this villa work for us?

Because Morgan can transfer.

She can walk short distances with both hands held.

Daniel can assist her through the front path.

We can manage the en-suite step.

We can assist her into the pool.

This villa is NOT suitable for independent wheelchair users.

It IS suitable for families like ours — where the wheelchair user can transfer with assistance.

That distinction matters.

And it’s something most Bali villa listings never tell you.

Bayshore Beach House isn’t advertised as an accessible villa.

But with the right planning and the right needs — it works beautifully for our family.

We’re sharing this because accessibility isn’t one size fits all.

What works for Morgan may not work for your family.

And you deserve to know the difference before you book.

After Part 1 — the aircraft, the airport, Lola — we had one more moment that stopped us.

Walking out of Bali’s international terminal.

Exhausted.

Morgan overwhelmed.

Us running on empty.

And there she was.

Smiling.

Holding a sign that said Daniel.

From Bali Access Travel.

We’ve used this service for years.

And every single time — it changes the arrival.

A fully wheelchair accessible vehicle.

Rear lift.

Proper restraints.

Space for Morgan, her wheelchair, and all of us.

No lifting.

No squeezing into a regular taxi.

No stress.

Just dignity.

From the airport door to our villa.

Most families planning a trip to Bali with a wheelchair user don’t know this exists.

Now you do. 🙏🏻

We’ve been travelling to Bali with Morgan for years.

But every single trip — the airport still takes everything we have.

Morgan has cerebral palsy, autism and is legally blind.

Getting her from our front door to Bali requires planning most people will never have to think about.

This trip we documented the whole thing.

Because somewhere out there is a family wondering if this is even possible.

It is. But here’s what it actually looks like…

We flew from Sunshine Coast Airport — and for the first time used the Aviramp to board.

No lift.

No chair transfer at the stairs.

Morgan rolled straight to the aircraft door.

We didn’t realise how much the old process cost us until we experienced this one.

Then came the moment Morgan walked down the aisle with Daniel to exit the aircraft.

Step by step.

Both hands held.

Every single time this happens, we feel it.

At the aircraft door in Bali — Lola was waiting.

Smiling.

Calm.

Already making Morgan feel safe.

Lola stayed with Morgan every single step through that airport.

She even rode the disability lift with her — while we waited at the bottom.

Immigration was the hardest part.

The queue was long.

Morgan was exhausted and the wait triggered her anxiety.

Lola knew exactly what to do.

She made it manageable.

That’s the difference between a difficult arrival and a bearable one.

One person.

One moment of quiet kindness.

Lola. 🙏🏻

This is Part 1 of our arrival series — the real, unfiltered experience of flying to Bali with a wheelchair.

Two more sleeps. 🌴

This is Morgan and her Aunty Leanne — strolling the Sanur beachfront on one of our favourite Bali evenings.

That smile says everything.

In two days we fly back to this exact place — and this time the whole family is coming. Because Aunty Leanne turns 60 in Bali, and there was truly nowhere else our family could imagine celebrating her. 🎂🌴

Bali has a way of bringing people together.

Slowing everything down.

Making the ordinary feel extraordinary.

For Morgan it’s so much more than a holiday.
It’s where she exhales.

It’s where we all do.

We cannot wait to bring you all along for this one — it’s going to be our most special trip yet.

And from Monday we’re documenting something we’ve never properly shown before — the real experience of arriving in Bali with a wheelchair. Every moment. Unfiltered. 🦽

Follow along so you don’t miss it. 🙏🏻

We have an announcement — and we’re so excited to share this with our community. ❤️

We’re going back to Bali. 🌴

Monday morning we board the plane — and honestly, we’ve been counting down the days.

There’s something that happens when we land in Bali.
Morgan exhales.

We exhale.

And everything that felt heavy… gets a little lighter.

This island has given our family more than we can put into words.

It’s where Morgan is most herself.

It’s where we remember who we are beyond the appointments, the therapy, the planning, the worrying.

It’s where we just… get to be a family.

We’ve been quiet on here this week — because honestly, we’ve been getting ready.

Preparing for a trip with Morgan takes more than most people realise.

But we’re nearly there.

And we cannot wait.

This trip we’re documenting something we’ve never properly shown before — the real experience of arriving in Bali with a wheelchair, from the moment we leave the aircraft to the moment we reach our villa.

The airport transfer.

The staff who make it possible.

Immigration.

The adaptive transport most families don’t even know exists.

All of it. Real and unfiltered.

Because somewhere out there is a family wondering if this is even possible for them.

It is. And we’re going to show you exactly how. 🦽🌴
See you on the other side. 🙏🏻

Daniel, Jodi & Morgan 🤍

Not all “accessible” villas are actually accessible…

We’ve learnt the hard way in Bali — what’s listed online doesn’t always match reality.

Now, before we book anything, we ask very specific questions 👇

✔️ Is there step-free access everywhere?
✔️ Are there any uneven surfaces or hidden steps?
✔️ Can a wheelchair move around easily?
✔️ Is the bathroom actually usable?
✔️ Is there enough space to manoeuvre?

This villa passed every test 🙌

If you’re travelling with mobility needs, these questions can make or break your trip.

Follow us for real, honest accessibility in Bali 🌴♿️

Not all “accessible” villas in Bali are what they seem… ♿️

We learned this the hard way.

What looked fine in photos turned into:
– narrow paths
– uneven surfaces
– no proper access
– and at times… carrying Morgan just to get in

Since then, we’ve completely changed how we book.

Now we ALWAYS check:
✔️ Can a car actually reach the villa?
✔️ Is the path wide enough?
✔️ What’s the surface like?
✔️ How far is it really from the main road?
✔️ And most importantly… we ask for REAL photos

Because accessibility isn’t just the villa…
it’s everything around it.

If you’re travelling with a wheelchair, stroller, or mobility needs — these details matter more than anything.

We share what actually works (and what doesn’t), so you don’t have to learn the hard way.

👇 Have you ever arrived somewhere that was nothing like the photos?

We booked this villa because it was listed as wheelchair accessible.

The moment we arrived…
we knew it wasn’t.

The only way in?
A steep hill only accessible by scooter.
Three of us on one bike.
Morgan terrified.

Then came the rest…
Narrow paths.
Uneven ground.
Steep sections we couldn’t safely navigate.

We had no choice but to carry her.

Down to the villa.
Back up again just to leave.

And even then —
that path was the only way to reach the main road.

She was exhausted.
Overwhelmed.
And honestly… so were we.

This was 2018 —
when we trusted listings that said “accessible.”

We don’t anymore.

Because accessibility isn’t just the villa…
it’s the entire journey.

That’s why we share the real side of travelling Bali with a wheelchair —
so other families don’t have to learn the hard way.

If you’re planning a trip to Bali with accessibility needs, follow along — we share what actually works 🤍
