A Charming Cape Town Gem with Exceptional Value
Parker Cottage is a beautifully restored historic home, elegantly decorated and perfectly situated close to everything Cape Town has to offer. The rooms are thoughtfully designed with exceptional attention to detail, providing every comfort needed for a relaxing stay. Tomas was a warm, attentive host who made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. The delicious breakfast was another highlight, adding to an already wonderful experience. Offering both comfort and outstanding value for money, Parker Cottage is a fantastic place to stay and one I would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our first stay in Cape Town.
A stunning old heritage house built by an architect ex-mayor of Cape Town. Glimpses of the mountain from the patio and some rooms. The breakfast is a lovely start to the day - cooked to order, a wide choice and a daily special in addition to the standard menu. Delicious fresh orange juice. We were met late at night at the airport by Keith which was arranged by the hotel and he got us directly into our room quickly. Not the cheapest transfer but worth every rand. Parking was easy once we picked up our hire car and although it was on the street outside the cottage it seemed to be safe enough. Plenty of local residents were parked there too. Provided umbrellas, offered advice and bookings, dinner recommendations were all excellent. Honesty system bar for soft and alcoholic drinks downstairs. Ubers very easy to find - usually at the door within a minute of ordering. Driving quality of ubers rather less reliable but we survived. Had the weather been hotter the tables outside would have been lovely. Good wifi.

- • Nothing. It's obviously not the sparkling new bustling busy V+A waterfront which is a few km away but we liked the more residential location. They don't recommend you walk home even from very local restaurants although it's well lit and we never felt unsafe in the area. We did in fact walk home (under 5 mins) once. Ask for a downstairs room if you have any mobility issues as the stairs up are steep. If you are a TV addict note that it is in the communal living rooms not the bedrooms.
Great location, beautiful building tastefully decorated and lovely garden area. Quiet yet walking distance to many great places to eat. Attractive surrounding neighborhood which felt safe walking around. Very clean and comfortable and friendly, accommodating staff. Excellent offering for breakfast and tasty.

Wonderful Stay @ Parker Cottage
Our stay at Parker Cottage was absolutely fantastic and truly exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with their warm, attentive, and genuinely kind hospitality. What stood out the most was just how accommodating everyone was. They went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable at all times. A particularly thoughtful moment was when my wife wasn’t feeling well—they took the time to prepare a special tea for her, which was such a simple yet meaningful gesture that really speaks to the level of care they provide. The atmosphere of Parker Cottage is charming, peaceful, and perfectly suited for a relaxing stay in Cape Town. Combined with the exceptional service, it made for an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Parker Cottage to anyone visiting Cape Town and looking for a place that offers not just comfort, but truly personalized hospitality.
