Parker Cottage Bed and Breakfast in the Cape Town City Bowl is in fact two grand Victorian houses completed by renowned Cape Town architect John Parker in 1895. They are now joined into one grand guesthouse, where Liz and Phil, the owners, offer a full luxury experience to their guests. Parker Cottage is a little different to the usual hotel/guesthouse/bed and breakfast experience. Rather than being just a conventional ‘place to sleep’, we offer a very much unplugged, urban retreat. So although we offer free and fast wireless internet, most of our rooms don't have television (except by request) or radios or hifis. We also don`t do minibars, piped music or even reception desks! Parker is a social place too, our legendary wine evenings occur at least twice a week and there’s no ‘cut off’ time for our gourmet breakfasts either. And there`s more: at Parker Cottage Guesthouse, we are striving to combine luxurious hospitality and bed and breakfast accommodation with an active concern for the society and the environment. We want to show that a bed and breakfast does not have to cost the resources of the earth or its people: by 2015, Parker aims to be ‘off-grid’ for water heating, electricity, water and sewage and recycling 90% of our waste.
