We had a fantastic stay at Bay Leaf Cottage. Gwen is lovely, even providing us with the basic necessities when moving in at first (butter, bread, eggs, coffee and tea) and was very approachable throughout our stay. The area of Observatory is great - the nearby Lower Main road has many bars, restaurants and shops and is a short cab ride or drive to the Waterfront or centre of Cape Town. The cottage was in pristine condition and Mickey the housemaid keeps it that way to make your stay even more enjoyable. All in all I highly recommend Bay Leaf Cottage - thanks for such a great stay.
