We absolutely loved our stay at Parker Cottage. Our room, Fitzroy was spacious, comfortable and had everything we could need for our 4 night stay. Marion, Tomas, Jameson, Bartwell and all the staff couldn’t have made us feel more welcome and gave us all the information we needed to make the most of our stay in Cape Town. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious. We couldn’t recommend our stay enough - you won’t be disappointed if you book here!

Lovely stay

Only stayed here for one night but it was lovely. Upon arrival we were welcomed with a drink and good conversation and then shown to our room. The house is beautiful and the on street parking was safe. We walked down the road for dinner and felt safe during the day doing so. Would recommend and stay here again. We did not eat there but the table set ups were beautiful for breakfast.

Loved staying in this beautiful peaceful house, looked after by friendly, helpful and warm host and staff. It was a lovely haven to come ‘home’ to each day. The breakfasts are delicious, bed comfortable, and the service excellent. It combines the warmth of a home with high quality service (but without the wastefulness or anonymity of a big hotel). Will definitely stay there again someday!

Boutique hotel in quiet, central locale was a hit!

Parker Cottage is in a peaceful street in the centre of town. There are some lovely older homes in the neighbourhood - of which this is one. After a warm welcome with a drink and informative chat, we were shown to our beautiful room overlooking a koi pond. The house is furnished in cool greys and antiques, with lots of interesting art, objets and books. The bathrooms are stocked with Rain toiletries, a local brand which is delicious Breakfast is served by on a sun--filled patio, with a choice of cooked or various continental options - all top notch. The team create a happy, peaceful space from which to go out and explore this vibrant city. Can you tell we loved everything about it? We were only there for 3 nights but would definitely return and will be recommending to friends.
