Introduction

In August 2022, Casa iLanga Guest House joined our "Accessible Cities South Africa" platform to not only promote there Wheelchair Accessible Guest House and improve accessibility and inclusivity for persons with Mobility Impairments traveling in South Africa but also by becoming one of the first Guest Houses to not only advertise on the DiSA information Service but also leading the way by becoming accessible and joining our Accessible Cities Platform so that we can build a network of Accessible Accommodation and travel destinations to not only accommodate persons with various disabilities.

DiSA would like to congratulate and thank Geertje Van den Broeck  from Casa iLanga Guest House for joining  our "Accessible Cities South Africa" platform and for becoming an "Access Warrior" to assist us to create this much needed awareness.

The Casa iLanga Guest House is owned by Geertje Van den Broeck has recently been completely renovated, boasting a modern and elegant ambience with a touch of contemporary African décor in all five bedrooms and is now fully accessible by wheelchair. Casa iLanga has also been tastefully transformed to accommodate guests with special needs in all en-suite rooms, leisure spaces and communal areas.

In August 2022, The Casa iLanga Guest House joined DiSA and became a member, by not only providing Accessible Travel Accommodation, but also by supporting us financially through the membership that they purchased in 2022. By Joining our Accessible Cities platform, Casa iLanga has also become an "Access Warrior" helping us to create awareness for the needs of persons with disabilities.

Casa iLanga Guest House & DiSA Partnership

Disability info South Africa (DiSA) was started in 2015 by Alan Downey when he realised that there was still an urgent need for a free information service to assist and support persons with disabilities and their families. Through the support over the years from companies and clubs such as the Paws4life Training Academy, we have been able to create a link between persons with disabilities and the companies, clubs and organizations that are available to assist them.

Casa iLanga Guest House

The Casa iLanga Guest House is located in a safe and tranquil neighbourhood in Somerset West, the intimate “House of Sun” guesthouse is nestled close to the impressive Helderberg mountains on one side and the wide open beaches of False Bay on the other.

The owner of Casa iLanga is 53 year young lady Geertje. After doing voluntary work in Zambia and an overland trip from Cape Town to Vic Falls she fell in love with South Africa. Waiting for many years she turned her dream into a true story. As a caretaker in Belgium it was logical to do something with that background. And so was Casa iLanga born. A wheelchair friendly guesthouse.

Casa iLanga has recently been completely renovated, boasting a modern and elegant ambience with a touch of contemporary African décor in all five bedrooms.

Apart from now being fully accessible by wheelchair, Casa iLanga has also been tastefully transformed to accommodate guests with special needs in all en-suite rooms, leisure spaces and communal areas.

Casa iLanga is only 30 km from Cape Town International, about 10 minutes’ drive from the world-famous Cape Winelands, and right next to the N2 national road to the Garden Route.

We take pride in ensuring that our guests all leave with wonderful memories of their stay in Somerset West.

Casa iLanga Accessible Rooms and Bathrooms

The Casa iLanga Guest House has a number of Accessible Rooms and Bathrooms to ensure that all persons with Mobility Impairments, including persons who use Mobility Aids are catered for.
