Ottery is a suburb in Cape Town, South Africa. It is on the edge of the Southern Suburbs. The Youngsfield Military Base, Royal Cape Golf Club and Cape Town's 'official' China Town are located in the suburb. Every year the Youngsfield Military Base in Ottery hosts the Cape Argus Junior Cycle Tour on 12 March.[2] The name was derived off the Otter sanctuary which was opened here in the early 1900's, but was closed down as the neighbourhood rapidly expanded later in the century.
