Big 5 Fort can be found at the Big 5 at the end of Frederick Street... a fort-like building! While it looks inaccessible from the street, Big 5 Fort actually meets an important need! For wheelchair-bound folk who travel to Grahamstown for events such as the National Arts Festival, the Sasol SciFest, Rhodes University graduation and other events, this accommodation facility provides clean, tasteful, self-contained accommodation that is accessible! It is CERTIFIED Disabled Friendly: Certificate of Accessibility from Disability Options - more info from Tony Webb at barndans(at)yebo.co.za / +27-41-368.3707<br />Big 5 Fort is located on a hill overlooking the town, 1.5 km from the centre of Grahamstown and 2 km to Rhodes University. It is set up for self-catering, for 1 or 2 people sharing. Situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac, it is ideal for the visitor who wants a quiet retreat away from TV and other distractions, to relax, meditate, or work in peace. Non-smoking.<br />The two single (twin) beds have firm mattresses, sheets, blankets & duvets. The fully equipped kitchenette has a fridge, kettle, filter coffee machine, toaster, microwave, two-plate stove, kitchen utensils, crockery & cutlery. Bath & hand towels are also provided. An exclusive, en suite bathroom is completely wheelchair accessible, with wide turning circles and a roll-in shower. <br />In winter, a gas heater & 'hotty' bean bags keep guests warm and comfortable, and in the hot summer months, a ceiling fan provides a refreshing breeze. <br />The semi-detached flat has its own separate entrance via a private courtyard. It is adjacent to a large indigenous garden (with excellent birdlife). There is off-street parking, either in an open carport or a lock-up garage.<br />Payment can be made by cash or cheque. Pets are welcome by prior arrangement. <br />Wir sprechen Deutsch!<br />For info and bookings, visit <a href="http://www.grahamstown-accommodation.co.za/SC.asp">http://www.grahamstown-accommodation.co.za/SC.asp</a> - then scroll down and click on Big 5 Fort.<br />(Also listed at http://www.grahamstown.co.za/accomodation_bed_and_breakfasts.asp)<br />GRAHAMSTOWN HOSPITALITY GUILD RECOMMENDED <br />Member: Makana Tourism<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4517239125534392428-3248308559943084885?l=nikki-kohly-big5.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Big5http://www.blogger.com/profile/09590181842719809702noreply@blogger.com
