Overview

Emsdorf is a brilliant lodge and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Accessibility is fantastic - all of the doors throughout are possible the widest I've ever seen in an accessible accommodation. Homelands have an access guide with heaps of detail which I found really helpful before my visit, and it was great to be able to select some specialist equipment before our visit such as the shower chair/trolley options. I stayed at Emsdorf to put together a video, blog and social media review- socials @wheelybraw. I highly recommend a stay here!

Transport & Parking

We drove. There are two parking spaces for each lodge, including one right outside the door on a paved driveway.

Access

Hall: Huge hall with plenty of space to store and charge a scooter. Kitchen: I loved the wheel-under breakfast bar/food prep area and the hideaway oven door Living area: The huge patio doors leading out the paved patio area are fantastic. Bedroom: Both beds were very comfortable. The wheelchair-user height clothes rail in the wardrobe was very much appreciated. I don't currently use a hoist but it was great to see the ceiling tracking hoist. Bathroom: The wetroom bathroom is huge! Has a hoist, several options for shower seating, and I loved that the grab rails were chrome - definitely more stylish than others I've seen. There's also another separate accessible toilet downstairs! I did find the sink a little low.

Staff

We met Kim the general manager who was very approachable and friendly. She's so passionate about what they do at Homelands, and has clearly built a rapport with many of their regular guests. Don't hesitate to ask the team any questions you have, or to let them know if you need anything.
