Wheelchair Accessible Accommodation in Cape Town: Epic Guest House, Noordhoek

Finding genuinely wheelchair accessible accommodation can make or break a holiday. In Noordhoek, a peaceful village at the foot of Chapman’s Peak on Cape Town’s south peninsula, Epic Guest House was designed from the outset for wheelchair users, while being just as welcoming for able-bodied travellers. It’s run by the team behind the accessible safari specialist Epic Enabled.

About Epic Guest House

The guest house combines a relaxed, homely atmosphere with practical, step-free design:

  • A small number of guest rooms, each with a roll-in shower and non-slip tiles
  • Spacious family rooms with a sleeper couch, plus double and twin rooms
  • An open-plan kitchen, lounge with a fireplace, and dining area that’s easy to manoeuvre in
  • A large veranda deck with views over the wetlands to the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean
  • A pool and braai area overlooking the wetland, rich in birdlife, where you might hear the call of the African fish eagle
  • An accessible vehicle for day tours and transfers, on request

Room configurations and rates change, so we confirm current details when you enquire.

Why stay in Noordhoek?

Noordhoek is about 35 km from the city centre, roughly halfway between Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope, which makes it a perfect base for exploring the peninsula. Highlights nearby include:

  • Long Beach: eight kilometres of white sand from Noordhoek to Kommetjie
  • Fish Hoek: a family beach with an accessible promenade
  • Boulders Beach: boardwalks for viewing the African penguin colony
  • Simon’s Town and Kalk Bay: historic harbours, cafés and galleries
  • Chapman’s Peak Drive and Cape Point: spectacular coastal scenery
  • Constantia and Kirstenbosch: wine estates and botanical gardens, each about 30 minutes away

In winter, add whale watching from the False Bay coast. See our southern right whale season guide.
