Olaf's offers great value for money. The location is good on a quite street, with many restaurants near by. The staff is friendly, and the rooms are small but nice.

I enjoyed staying at this guesthouse. The staff is friendly and the place is conveniently situated near the main road and the hop on hop off city bus tour stop. There are numerous good restaurants situated up the road. The rooms are a decent size and the owner interacts with you.

If you are tired of international hotels, all looking alike, then it is great to find a place like Olauf´s guest house. Quiet location, close to a beachpark and the ocean, 10 min. by taxi to Down Town. Freindly staff and owner, good service, would love to come back. R. Nielsen Skagen Denmark

Everybody was very friendly and helpful. We liked to have our breakfast on the terrace. It is a nice quiet place though it is in the middle of the town.Like a little oasis. Not far from the city center .

Olaf’s Guest House is easy to find. Our guest house is conveniently situated on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, right below Signal Hill, between Beach Rd. and Main Rd. in Sea Point. Olaf’s was built back in 1937, which helps to explain our design, spacious interiors, high ceilings and wooden/tiled floors. And has more recently been renovated and enhanced with touches of up-market African style and charm. We’re just a stone’s throw away from the city center of Cape Town. As well as the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town’s shopping Mecca. ... more   less
