There is an accessible parking space in the secure parking area.
Northpoint Apartments provide secure parking for guests with a car park height restriction of 2 metres. Access to the water is via steps.Ī large outdoor entertaining area with barbecues is available for guest use. Ramp access is available to the fenced pool area. There was room around the pool for BJ and I to sit comfortably to watch on. Please note there is only one accessible apartment and it’s 806.īJ wasn’t keen on having a dip in the pool but AJ and our friends had a great afternoon swimming. In this case it was both! I also get the room number wrong in the video walk through. Excuse breathless me narrating the video, I’m always in a hurry with either the family or hotel staff waiting at the door. VIDEO TOUR OF NORTHPOINT APARTMENTS’ ACCESSIBLE APARTMENT & PENTHOUSEĪ video usually provides a better idea of the layout of an apartment so I’ve provided a walk through tour of both the accessible apartment described above and the penthouse three bedroom apartment we stayed in. There’s no lip to the balcony and the verandah door has a 1.2 metre clearance.Īn internal laundry in the apartment allows guests to keep on top of washing while away. It’s rare to find an accessible apartment with an accessible balcony, let alone one with a view.

The third bedroomĪ full size fridge, oven and microwave makes self-catering easy in the well equipped kitchen. The toilet height is 44cm and 43cm to the pan. The bathroom sink is a little high at 93cm but does have room underneath for access.
Lever taps, lightweight grab rails, a shower chair and commode is provided in the main bathroom. Bed height and clearance is the same as the main bedroom. A wheelchair user would need to use the main bathroom.Ī second bedroom is close to the accessible bathroom and is furnished with two single beds. The ensuite is not wheelchair accessible with a narrow doorway and a glass enclosed small shower. Bed height is 61cm and an under bed clearance of 13cm.Ī large walk-in/roll-in wardrobe and ensuite is attached to the main bedroom. 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.Ī large main bedroom has a king-size bed and good circulation space. By the marks on the door I’d say many a power wheelchair has just scraped in the 745mm wide doorway. 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. I’m sharing a glimpse of the penthouse apartment in the video below but writing the review on the accessible apartment. It was such a great stay we tried to book again for the next holidays but sadly, ‘our’ apartment was already taken. Early on in our stay we discovered one of our Have Wheelchair Will Travel readers, and her husband, live in the apartment block which resulted in wine, nibbles and great laughs on our balcony one evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Northpoint Apartments, not only is it in a fabulous location, but the units are equipped with all we needed for a week’s stay.
We booked last minute and only secured accommodation by being flexible in dates and increasing our budget to stay in the three bedroom non-accessible penthouse apartment (BJ prefers a bath) but we took the opportunity to check out the accessible apartment while we were there.ĪCCESSIBLE THREE BEDROOM APARTMENT AT NORTHPOINT APARTMENTS Located right in the heart of town and an easy level walk or wheel to the waterfront and shopping, makes it our new favourite place to stay.
Finally we had the opportunity to stay there earlier this year and what a great spot it is. I’ve always been keen to stay in Northpoint Apartments because of its ideal location and incredible views but it’s usually been booked out well in advance. We’re regular visitors to the Port Macquarie region and we’ve stayed in a variety of apartments and houses in the area over the last 20 odd years.
