Practical facility information for Australian road trips
Reststop.com.au is a free national directory built to help travellers quickly find public toilets, rest areas, showers, water, accessible facilities, dump points and other useful places to stop.
Why Reststop exists
Essential travel facilities are often spread across council pages, government datasets and general-purpose maps. Reststop brings that practical information into one searchable website so travellers can make faster, clearer decisions.
Who it is for
Reststop is designed for everyday drivers, families, people with disability or reduced mobility, older travellers, truck and delivery drivers, caravan and motorhome travellers and people moving through regional Australia.
How information is handled
Listings are compiled from government, authoritative and open-data sources. Missing information is kept as unknown rather than being guessed. Source and update details are shown where available, and corrections are reviewed before a public listing is changed.
- Unknown does not automatically mean no.
- Drinking water is not assumed unless the source supports it.
- Overnight stopping and road access should be checked against current signs and local rules.
- Facility information can change between source updates.
Free access and funding
People can search Reststop without an account or subscription. The website may use clearly labelled advertising to help fund hosting, data maintenance and continued improvements. Advertising does not determine which facilities are listed or how corrections are reviewed.
Help improve the directory
Travellers, councils and facility operators can report incorrect information or suggest a missing public facility. Submissions are checked and are never published automatically.
