Description
This stunning and completely accessible holiday home sits on a sand dune overlooking the ocean in the beautiful, friendly and unspoilt seaside village of Noordhoek.
With four double bedrooms (three of them ensuite) and an additional separate ensuite double studio flat, its flexible accommodation will meet all needs. One fully accessible suite is located on the ground floor and has a lift to access the rest of the house.
The house has been designed to accommodate a wide range of disabilities and is the only holiday home with this level of adaptation in Cape Town.
Accessibility
The owners have designed, converted and adapted the house to be as accessible as possible.
Adaptations include
- A wheelchair lift
- Ceiling track hoisting system between bedroom and wheelchair-accessible bathroom (please bring your own slings)
- Open-plan roll-in shower
- Attendant shower heads at bath and shower
- Accessible basin
- Comfort-height toilet
- Support hand rails
- Low wardrobe hanging rails
- Widened doors, step-free entrance
- Ramped decks
- Pool hoist
- Ramped garage
- Step-free access to pool area
- Dining table chosen for ease of wheelchair access
- Rifton Blue Wave toileting chairs
- Portable hoist

The kitchen, living and dining areas are all in one room - completely open plan and therefore barrier free. The adapted bedroom has furniture spaced to make it easy to manoeuvre a wheelchair. For those who need it, the flat above the garage has been designed to be a self-contained carer’s area giving privacy to the family holidaying together, if desired.
Accessible suite
The accessible bedroom and bathroom has a continuous, level polished concrete floor from the hall for ease of use with a wheelchair. The double doors open out to a ramped deck with further ramped access to the pool area where a pool hoist is located.
The ceiling hoist goes right from the bed to the bath, passing over the toilet (although there are Rifton Blue Wave toilet chairs available). In the bathroom there is a wheelchair-accessible basin with a large handle tap and roll-in-style wet room shower with large-handle shower controls and rails to aid standing. Both the bath and the shower have additional attendant shower heads.
In the bedroom the wardrobe doors all open in front of a wheelchair user and the hanging rails have been lowered. The furniture is positioned to allow ease of access with a bedroom mirror that tilts down.

Outside
There is a step-free garden that wraps around the house. The pedestrian door from the garage is ramped and leads to the brick pathway (over 1.2m wide) going to the front door. If you follow the path round, it takes you to the pool, which is on the ocean side of the house. The pool area is paved with plenty of space for safe access. There is a removable manual pool hoist so everyone can swim.
By the pool there is another ramp to directly access the adapted suite, lower deck and the rest of the house. Also on the lower deck is an outdoor shower (hot and cold water) and a dining area.
In front of the house the beach has a wooden boardwalk through the dunes and is ramped at the end (a little steep but manageable). Fish Hoek beach (5 km away) is also ramped. The fabulous Noordhoek Farm Village has accessible restaurants and a central disabled toilet.
