At the historic Brisbane Powerhouse, 17 metres or four stories above the Brisbane River diners are seated at tables for two strapped to the outside of the building. Guests are escorted to the roof, lowered into their seats with a safety harness to an elegant dining setting, tethered to the table. And the best part? It is wheelchair accessible! 

Gold Coast resident Dr Dinesh Palipana loved the Access Vertigo experience, “It’s like nothing I’ve ever done and was one of the best experiences of my life.” High praise from the quadriplegic who advocates for doctors with disabilities and works in the emergency room at the Gold Coast University Hospital.   

Access Vertigo uses a special chair designed using aircraft grade aluminum to winch thrill seekers to the dining platform. A special sling moves guests from their own chair to the Vertigo chair which is locked in place. Patrons can enjoy brunch or a gourmet Italian dinner with wine while enjoying the atmosphere of this part of the city.
