We stayed here on the last part of our South African Honeymoon, and had a lovely relaxing couple of days. Raymond was a very good host (he kept my husband busy with lots of interesting chat about football), and runs a very charming, well located guesthouse. It was clean and tidy and offered an ideal location for exploring the City. More

This guesthouse is very well located nearby the mainroad/weg, nearby the boulevard and walking distance (40 min) from Waterfront. The room we stayed in was okay and the staff was very pleasant and eager to assist. It was a great place to be! More

We stayed here whilst visiting South Africa for a family wedding and I cannot think of a single negative thing about it. Raymond who owns and runs Olaf's was charming, attentive and made us feel totally at home whilst we stayed there for the 4 days in the run up to the wedding and found space for us to return... More

I stayed at Olaf's Guest House for 10 days in July 2011 with a friend. We shared a comfortably spacious room. I especially appreciated the attention to aesthetics in the decor. Olaf's has happy colors but is not too harsh. I LOVED the fireplace, which warmed me up on the cold days of my visit. I spent hours reading by... More

The staff really make this place special - the owners, hosts, even the cleaners are contagiously friendly. It's tucked away in a quiet street, just a short stroll to the beach and a quick bus/taxi to all the major attractions Cape Town has to offer. A buffet breakfast plus custom hot breakfast is included which makes it great value- I... More

Stayed here during the World Cup and loved that it was a 15 minute walk to the stadium. It's a very short walk to the beach and many restaurant options close by. The only thing that went wrong was they did not wake us up and we were late for the tour as a result. Overall a nice place. More

We were very pleased with the friendly and helpful staff. They brought us into contact with Anika, a female guide that guided us through the slums, an unforgettable experience. Safe area. Nice rooms. We didn't use the pool because too cold in september. More
