After 31 days in Bay Leaf Cottage in Observatory near Groote Schuur Hospital we felt like genuine Capetonians leaving their home. Our home was large for only two persons (2 bedrooms) with a guaranteed parking space in front of the house or even behind the gate on the premises. A pleasant sheltered and private back garden with table, chairs, parasol was perfect for breakfast and evening meals. Observatory has the perfect location to get everywhere in Cape Town or surroundings within the shortest time possible. Observatory itself with its unique venues is worth a visit. The kitchen demands a special comment as it is superbly equipped with utensils and provisions.
