On arrival we were warmly greeted by Liz, and promptly given advice on the highlights of Cape Town. We were given an early check-in, which we really appreciated following a red-eye flight. We stayed in the Paterson Room, a large room at the back of the property with it's own little courtyard. Unfortunately there was a heatwave during our stay,... More

Parker Cottage was certainly one of the highlights of our two-week visit to South Africa. We stayed for three nights and we wish we could have stayed longer. The beautiful house is so comfortable and welcoming, and Phil and Liz’s attention to our every need was warm and unpretentious. It truly felt like we were family friends visiting for the... More

My girlfriend and I found a good deal on airfare to Cape Town and booked the trip within a few weeks of departing. We leaned heavily on guidebooks for accommodations outside of Cape Town, but arrived at Parker Cottage solely through the helpful reviews here on TripAdvisor. Every positive review here is to be believed. Phil and Liz are amazing... More
