If you are planning your first visit to Capetown one of your first considerations, we guess, will be safety. Parker Cottages is located in one of the safest areas of Capetown. We have stayed in this location 5 times now ( not at Parker Cottages before) and walked to local restaurants in the area without experiencing any problems. We always walk into the centre during the daytime but take a taxi to the Waterfront which costs around 50 rand. The accommodation itself is also very secure without creating the impression you are in a fort!
We stayed in one of the 'beautiful' rooms which was clean and comfortable. Breakfast, which can be taken on the veranda or lower in the shady garden, offers good options and friendly service.
Whether you are new to Capetown or visiting again you will find that Phil and Liz are able to to provide many suggestions on what should not be missed on this visit without dictating where you should go or insisting on making a booking for you! They are a hardworking pair who are determined to make Parker Cottages one of the best and they are getting there fast!
The building has an interesting history and an old fashioned charm but it is sufficiently modern in the areas that matter.
