We stayed at the this well run and excellent guest lodge. From the personalised welcome we received to the lovely room to the fresh coffee, tea and divine biscuits available all day!!!! The entire experience was one of the best we've ever had. The breakfasts are to die for!!! :):) Phil and Liz are charming, friendly and entertaining hosts -... More

We had been warned by Andrew & Sen that Parker Cottage was likely to steal our hearts. I hate it when I am so predictable but what a lovely way to be predicted. After a tedious flight it was great to be met at the airport by Chris with my name on a card!! No car required when staying here... More

A personalised message welcoming us, a glass of wine in hand seconds later, from the moment we stepped through the gate we were welcomed like old friends. Phil booked us straight into a local restaurant for a lovely dinner saving us the hassle having arrived fairly late. The one thing I can truly say about Parker Cottage and all who... More

Although so much has already been said about Parker Cottage on this site, I still feel inclined to write a few words about our wonderful stay at this absolutely lovely guesthouse. We stayed 3 nights in the Paterson room over Easter weekend and loved every minute of it. We can recommend the Cottage's transfer service from the airport (seems to... More

From the minute we arrived Phil and Liz saw that we made the most of our stay in Cape Town. When we arrived Phil immediately opened a bottle of wine, sat down with us in the garden, and helped us plan our week's schedule of activities. Parker's recommendations for restaurants, sights, day trips, and transportation gave us insider knowledge of... More

We've stayed at Parker Cottage for 5 nights in Feb and a night in March 2012 during our visit to South Africa. We were made to feel most welcome with all the little things that makes one feel special and valued. From the sign to welcome you by name, to the hot cappuccino with cinnamon brown sugar on top and... More

Lovely clean charming place, good location to feel the bustle of the city. Close to great restaurants. Liz and Phil were the perfect hosts and also informative about life in Cape Town. Breakfasts were the best we had, the wine tasting introduced us to beautiful pinotage vino and was great fun.

Arrived late the first night, but nice welcome, tour, and introduction by Chris. Holly really enjoyed the sign welcoming us. Loved the wine and snacks in the room, it was nice after the long trip. Breakfast was great everyday looking onto the garden. Phil was great with directions and insight to the area. Wish we could have stayed longer. Holly... More
