Parker Cottage is a little different to the usual hotel/guesthouse/bed and breakfast experience. Rather than being just a conventional ‘place to sleep’, this Kloof Street B&B offers a very much unplugged, urban retreat.

This Cape Town City Bowl bed and breakfast is striving to combine luxurious hospitality and bed and breakfast accommodation with an active concern for the society and the environment. Parker Cottage wants 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.

Parker Cottage and the earth

Many people assume that concern for the environment and luxury were somehow incompatible terms. If you want an environmentally conscious holiday, you have to be prepared to sleep in tents, hug trees and wear funny clothes. But at Parker Cottage Guest House, they show clearly that luxury and a minimum impact on the environment can go hand in hand.

The aim at Parker Cottage Guest House in Cape Town is also to show that heritage buildings can and should be adapted for an age concerned with energy efficiency and better waste management. Of course, it’s much easier to build a new house with energy efficient designs, but older houses have several elements about them that are very environmentally conscious. For a start, Parker was made with mud bricks, partially fired to much lower temperatures than bricks are baked today, using less energy. Most of the materials would have had to have been locally sourced from what were then sustainable sources (local pine forest) and of course, there were no carbon miles in 1895! Add to that the high ceilings, big roof spaces and thick walls for insulation and you have already a pretty sound house. So there’s simply no excuse for having a heritage house and not costing the earth.

But they are not content to rest on their laurels. The aim is that by 2015, Parker Cottage Guest House will the first and only urban eco-lodge in the whole of Africa. They are going to try, if they can, to be totally ‘off-grid’ for water heating, water treatment, sewage processing, electricity and solid waste management. It’s an ambitious and fool-hardy project and that’s what makes it so exciting.

Sharks are the most commonly feared ocean creatures and are the reason behind many beautiful beaches being closed with thousands of swimmers refusing to leave the safety of the shoreline. Perhaps the most fearsome extreme sport, Shark Cage Diving takes you into the territory of the world’s scariest predator, giving you the adrenaline rush of a lifetime.

Shark Cage Diving is one of the Cape’s most popular extreme tourist activities. Shark Cage diving in Cape Town allows you to come up close and personal with these formidable creatures, whilst safely being out of the reach of their infamous jaws.

There are many reasons why sharks are feared. Their teeth and what some think evil looking eyes are perhaps at the forefront of our minds. Images from famous films of fins slicing through the water and scary music accompanying sharks have most of us cowering at the thought of them. Endless photography and video recordings of sharks moving quickly and brutally catching their prey work in our imaginations, and stories reported and passed around have told us that these creatures won’t stop at anything if they are hungry. The fear and panic sharks create in us makes the latest and possibly the most terrifying extreme activity Shark Cage Diving so compelling.

Car hire in Cape Town is a fantastic way of seeing the entire peninsula especially if you only have a short amount of time to enjoy all the tourist attractions. However one of Cape Town’s most famous landmarks cannot be properly enjoyed through the window of a Cape Town hire car. It can be argued that it can’t really be enjoyed through the windows of any hire car. But Cape Town boasts so many attractions that can be enjoyed in a blur through the window of a hire car in Cape Town it is worth taking a few days to properly enjoy the great landmark on foot. To this end there are several excellent hiking trails that cover not just Table Mountain itself but the length of the entire peninsula. These range from day hikes that take you on a circular route back to the car you hired in Cape Town to massive 6 day trails that will traverse the entire peninsula.

If you are a visitor from out of town and you are utilising a car hire in Cape Town and you are planning on taking part in one of the trails that take several days and do not start where they end arrange for your guide to drop you at the start and pick you up again at the end. Although it would seem logical to leave a car at either the end or the beginning, if you are on the mountain for several days it would not be wise to leave your car unattended in a parking lot. Most car hire Cape Town companies offer insurance, however you do not want your holiday ruined by the hassle of paperwork, and there can be little worse than returning from a three day hike to find your car sitting on bricks.

The longest of the trails, which is the 6 day hike, starts in Cape Town, car hire will be able to get you easily to the start but heed the previous advice and get a taxi. The trail runs from the city side of Table Mountain all the way down the peninsula to the Cape Point nature reserve. The Table Mountain Reserve provides excellent accommodation no matter what your tastes. There are simple covered sleeping platforms as well as proper houses with basic facilities, the longer trail however may require you to spend a few nights in each type of these as it is not possible to have fully serviced houses all along the trail. This massive trail will take you through some of the most beautiful landscapes and unique flora in the world, and will not be limited to mountains. The route takes you along the beach at one point which may come as a welcome relief after days in the clouds.

Although Cape Town and South Africa in general is a place that requires visitors to hire a car, due to its vast spaces and lack of public transport. It is not a place that should be enjoyed purely by car, to get the most out of the destination it is important to know when to park your hire car and get out and explore Cape Town.
