Our son accompanied hubby & I for a weekend attending a Surf-Ability event at Ruakaka. He had no trouble accessing Carol's place in his power chair. There was plenty of room for him inside the unit. We didn't use the shower for our son as there is a little lip to negotiate, but we coped without the shower. Really enjoyed the peaceful park-like setting outside the unit, where we were able to walk alongside the river on the grass and chat to locals as they fished or went about their business. (Not w/chair accesible). Carol's place is spic & span, with lots of special touches - if you've forgotten anything, you can guarantee she has supplied it! Plenty of reading material & games for adults and children. Our young man enjoyed the fact that he had internet - a MUST for him!
