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.
