Northpoint Holiday Apartments, Port Macquarie

The following are excerpts from Havewheelchairwilltravel.net:

"Northpoint Apartment 806 has been fitted out to be accessible within the existing structure of the building, which means the front door has not changed in width. By the marks on the door I’d say many a power wheelchair has just scraped in the 745mm wide doorway.

Once inside the apartment there’s good circulation space in the lounge area and plenty of seating for a family or someone travelling with friends.

A large main bedroom has a king-size bed and good circulation space. Bed height is 61cm and an under bed clearance of 13cm. A second bedroom is close to the accessible bathroom and is furnished with two single beds. Bed height and clearance is the same as the main bedroom.

Lever taps, lightweight grab rails, a shower chair and commode is provided in the main bathroom. The bathroom sink is a little high at 93cm but does have room underneath for access. The toilet height is 44cm and 43cm to the pan.

A large walk-in/roll-in wardrobe and ensuite is attached to the main bedroom. The ensuite is not wheelchair accessible with a narrow doorway and a glass enclosed small shower. A wheelchair user would need to use the main bathroom.

It’s rare to find an accessible apartment with an accessible balcony, let alone one with a view. Northpoint Apartment 806 has both. There’s no lip to the balcony and the verandah door has a 1.2 metre clearance."
