PARKER COTTAGE
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
in Tamboerskloof Cape Town,
Western Cape, South Africa
Parker Cottage is in fact two Victorian cottages (Nos. 1 and 3 Carstens
Street) designed by renowned Cape Town architect John Parker in 1895, now joined
into one grand house. Our goal at Parker Cottage is to combine luxurious
hospitality and accommodation with active concern for the society and the
environment. We're Liz and Phil, both academics by profession, and came to Cape
Town in 2008. We'd love to welcome you to our guesthouse!
We've decorated the house in an eclectic mix of Afro-Colonnial, European and
Middle Eastern influences and each room has its own individual style - we
encourage you to pick the décor you prefer! All rooms are en suite with either
bath or shower rooms.
At Parker, our aim is to prove that we prove that luxurious accommodation does
not have to cost the earth: by 2011, Parker will be totally 'off-grid' for water
and power and recycling 90% of our waste. We have a free WiFi network, legendary
breakfasts, free garaged parking, and free use of a PC or laptop. Parker has two
gardens (one shady with a Koi pond and one sunny with a sun deck), two guest
lounges and a wonderful veranda for breakfasts and sundowner drinks.
We've a range of rooms to choose from, each one as distinctive as the next.
Parker boast three types of room: firstly our Fantastic rooms, which are our
largest and most impressive rooms. They have freestanding ball-and-claw baths,
original mantelpieces and working fireplaces, two deep armchairs each and
stunning, purpose-made beds. They also have separate showers. Next are our
Beautiful rooms which have either baths with showers over or shower rooms and
air conditioning. Lastly, our Cosy rooms, which have smaller shower rooms and
one of which looks out onto the garden. We also have a Family Suite, a private
two-bedroom apartment with a shower room and a private courtyard and its own
lockable corridor to access the suite, which can sleep up to five in comfort.
You'll be amazed at our breakfasts: every day sees a different fruit salad, also
influenced by African, European and Middle Eastern cuisine. Or perhaps you'd
prefer a freshly baked croissant or bagel? Of course, we also serve the most
fantastic full English breakfasts and have a wide range of cold meats, cheese
and fresh bread to choose from too. You are welcome to eat outside on the
veranda or in our grand dining room.
