We have been staying at Parker Cottage for the 4th time. It is our number 1 place in Cape Town. A home away from home. Staff is absolutely fantastic and always helpful. Breakfast is awesome. We will definitely come again. Thanks for everything.

This was my third stay at Parker Cottage. As always the staff is friendly and the breakfast delicious!! The guesthouse is in a very central and safe location in Tamboerskloof near many nice restaurants and bars. The staff can help with tickets for certain attractions or help with reservations for restaurants. They also offer private tours to Cape Point or the Winelands with an excellent local guide which I highly recommend booking if you do not want to drive yourself. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. I also love the patio and the garden to have breakfast in. I will definitely be back.

I arrived late and left early. I had a complimentary beer, hot shower and a good rest in a clean and well designed room. Easy access to wifi. They accommodated my late arrival by having a staff member on hand to recieve me and show me the ropes. ....

Absolutely delightful. The breakfasts are awesome. The room was perfect. Nice size and very clean. The staff are ALL amazing. Nothing is too much effort. The only concern I would have is that you need to be careful in the shower. The tile is not a non slip tile and I fell quite hard, which was not pleasant. All they need to do is put a non slip mat in there. We will definitely go back.

We were a bigger group and stayed here for 5 nights. An absolute wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are modern and provide shampoo, shower gel etc. Breakfast was served in the garden (when weather allowed) and was delicious and generous. All the staff incredibly helpful and friendly. Laundry service also fast and reliable. The location is also ideal. Easy to use Uber to get around locally. An hours walk, via Bo Kaap, to the Waterfront, and a variety of amazing restaurants within 3-7 min walk. All in all, a highlight of our stay in SA.

As ever a fabulous place to stay in Capetown. This lovely old villa set in a leafy street in the suburbs of the city is a haven of peace and tranquillity. Within walking distance of the city and many restaurants. The staff are wonderful and look after you so well…friendly and professional. Breakfasts on the veranda are excellent. We look forward to our stay next year again.

Wonderful little Hotel in the heart of Cape Town, we were welcomed super nicely by Tomas who explained everything we needed to know very quickly, so we even made it to Camp‘s Bay in time for Sunset. The room was very nice and cozy, altough being a bit short of storage areas. The breakfast on the veranda has also been abslotuely outstanding, very tasty and varied. All the employees we met were super nice and charming, we will definetly choose Parker cottage again for our next stay in Cape Town!

Marian and Tomas were very thoughtful and helped my Mum and me have a great, safe, lovely stay. The accommodation is very cute, good location and lovely breakfast included. Near lots to see and do. I would stay again. Good restaurants close by too.
