Suitability

• wheelchair inaccessibleNot really the place for wheel-chairs given the 300m distance from wharf to cottage. But potential for disabled person(s) to be transported via ATV if they're up for a bit of adventure. Once at the cottage wheel-chair access is possible but the place is not set up for easy wheel-chair access e.g. no oversized doors or ramps - so would need some lifting etc.
