The breakfast was exceptional, very tasty and fulfilling. The tables were in the garden with nice views. The stuff was working fast and efficient with always welcoming attitude. The location of the property was ideal for us, it was not far from the city center but in the quiet neighborhood. It is close to the main attractions: Table mountain, Kirstenbosch botanical garden and Camps bay, which were cheapy reached by Uber. The weather was also perfect at the end of March: warm but not hot. They have arranged reliable coach airport transfer at 4:30 a.m. with nice helpful driver.
I don't have any real problems to report, may be some inconvenience of having always to carry quite a few different keys to different property doors during the day out.

Very Good
I enjoyed my stay, Bartwell / guest support was fantastic. Breakfast was great. The guesthouse has a lot of character and a beautiful outdoor area. I appreciated the filtered tap water.
I had a lot of luggage so the room was very small for the price paid.

We only spent one night there on our way to the airport. It was perfect, with many restaurants on walk distance. Our room was big enough and had everything we needed. Breakfast was very good, but you have to count a little bit more time as they prepare it fresh for you. I would go back next time I am in Cape Town!

Parker Cottage was the perfect place to stay while in Cape Town. The staff is so kind and accommodating. We immediately felt at home. Our room was comfortable and met all our needs. The breakfasts were incredible. We were not expecting the level of charm and graciousness. The location was perfect walking distance for many delicious restaurants. We could not have loved our stay more.

Parker Cottage is well-located, with sumptuous finishings, professional and friendly staff, and a wonderful breakfast.
Parking was on the street, but this is typical of the area, which is a historical neighbourhood with few garages/off-street parking.

Location and the staff were simply superb. Special mention to Jameson and Tomas!
Our room was located by the bustle at the very front by the entrance. But this wasn’t a big problem as we were up and out early! And we had a view of the lovely Koi pond.
