Reviews

  • "Cape Town Holiday"

    17 February 2022

    "Our stay at Bay Leaf Cottage was perfect, everything about the cottage is perfect and it has all the necessities you will need to have a comfortable stay. The best part is that the Owners of the cottage Gwen and her Husband Wayne live right next door and they are such wonderful people who make you feel very comfortable and welcomed, they are always willing to help you find your way around Cape Town. We had lots of privacy, peace and quietness throughout our stay. We found that the people of Observatory were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely consider staying at the Bay Leaf Cottage in the future."

  • "Perfect location and comfortable unit"

    08 December 2018

    "Great self catering cottage that is excellently equipped. Beds and linen were very comfy and the outside shower was popular with the boys. Gwenni was a perfect host and nothing was too much trouble for her. She communicated clearly and was involved in every step of the booking process. We needed to be close to UCT Hospital and this cottage was ideal. Full DSTV bouquet, good WiFi and secure."

  • "My home away from home"

    12 December 2016

    "This is a beautifully furnished cottage that is absolutely comfortable, and provided in all of our necessities. I was quite sad to leave Bay Leaf Cottage, as I felt completely at home. Gwen is an excellent landlady that supported me during the time that I stayed alone in the cottage, and I can only sing her praise (and very highly at that). I am looking forward to staying at Bay Leaf again! Highly recommended!"

  • "Couldn't fault a thing!"

    24 February 2015

    "Absolutely loved our stay at bay leaf cottage, Gwen was so welcoming with such warming hospitality. Really had gone up and beyond to make us feel at home. Even a complimentary bottle of wine cooling in the fridge for us that evening and eggs for breakfast! I must say, the outside warm shower sold it to me! Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to stay in the observatory area and wants to relax during their downtime. Thank you again!"

  • "Great location & good price in Winter"

    12 August 2014

    "The four of us really enjoyed our stay at Bay Leaf Cottage in July 2014. Glen was a generous and gracious host. WARNING: if you prefer to have a tumble dryer available in wet weather you will need to use the laundromat down the road. Otherwise a great stay. Good location: fairly central for Table Mountain, Signal Hill, Waterfront & Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens."

  • "Quaint place"

  • "Home away from home"

    28 April 2013

    "I must say, it was a brilliant experience staying at the bay leaf solely due to our wonderful host, gwen. A wonderful lady who went above and beyond to cater for our needs. The accomodation itself was exactly what i was looking for. The best way to describe it is "home away from home". I give the Bay Leaf two thumbs up."
