We were so happy to try a guest house instead of a traditional hotel. Outstanding, affordable experience! We will definitely come back to Olafs on our next trip.

Great place to stay in Capetown if you want to be close to the ocean walk, restaurants and in a neighborhood, instead of a big hotel. Great bed and Breakfast at a reasonable cost. Loved it!

I absolutely loved everything about Olaf's Guest House. From the moment I arrived and was greeted by the warm & welcoming staff I knew I was in for a wonderful stay. My room was spacious and bright with excellent bedding, nice toiletries, fruit basket and wooden(not plastic) hangers. The room and air conditioning was whisper quiet...you awoke to birdsong. The breakfast is the BEST I have ever had in any guest house that I have stayed in. Olaf's is ideally located just sets away from the seafront and near numerous restaurants and shops. Do not hesitate for a moment to book this special place. Enjoy!

Our expectations were much higher for a 4-star guest house. The room was old and outdated. The breakfast was moderate, nothing special. The pool is small and not very clean. However, the location was very good.

This is a great plae to stay. If you stay in Cape Town, this place is ideal to discover that area. Clean rooms, good breakast and super friendly people. Especially Hazel is an absolute asset to this place. She "runs the show". I come back.

A lovely relaxing stay in a surprisingly quiet part of bustling Sea Point. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast, safe and secure. Only a couple of minor quibbles: during the day there seemed to be a lot of shouting between management and lower-ranked staff. I don't know who was the perpetrator, but it was uncomfortable to hear. The bed was very comfortable, but the wooden headboard was set c.2–3 inches away from the wall, meaning that the slightest movement caused loud banging on the wall. Easily fixed by stuffing a cushion between wall and headboard, but something of an oversight. Despite these two issues, I'll still give Olaf's five stars because it was such a lovely stay overall.

A very comfortable and friendly guesthouse in a quiet area close to the sea. I am a 64 year old woman traveling alone wanting to see Cape Town. This was a perfect place for my taste, not being interested in the night life scene. It is close enough to the city center to take a reasonable taxi ride if wanted but far from the noise. Accommodations were very cleaning aesthetic, excellent breakfast and an area to pick up munchies (on the honor system) at night.

I'd arranged a late arrival and had a warm welcome even though it was 11pm. The room was large and comfortable and the whole building had a welcoming atmosphere. I was on my own and never felt awkward in the house and felt safe in the area. The breakfast was excellent and in the summer could be eaten on the terrace, which was pleasant to sit on after breakfast when it was in full winter sun. I left early in the morning and breakfast was left in the fridge for me. I have already recommended Olaf's to friends in Cape Town who don't have a spare room for visitors.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying 1 week at this Guest House. Owner and staff looked after our every need. Lots to do in and around Cape Town - vineyards, Cape Peninsula, Kirstenbosch Gardens, Chapman's Peak - all stunning scenery. We found this guest house a friendly and pleasant base for our holiday activities.

I stayed 3 nights initially and a single night two weeks later. I loved it- great location, quiet, great staff. They go out of their way to accommodate. For example, after a cab he called for me did not show up, Raymond gave me a ride to the waterfront so I could catch my tour. Not going to see that at a hotel. I highly recommend.

This place is perfectly located. There are 4 Myciti bus lines, the beach, and the citysightseeing hop-on-hop-off bus all within 5 mins walk. Lot's of restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmarcy on the mthe main road. The staff was great. And the house was very quiet even though it was at full capacity. We will definitely stay here if we visit Capetown again. Note, there's no electrical outlet in the bathroom. So bring cordless shaver or ask for extension cord.

Olafs Guesthouse is a lovely, cozy place to stay. Raymond was a helpful host and the breakfast was quite good, but it was rather lonely at the house in the winter season, with very few other guests and no one around at all most of the time. The neighborhood is fine, but it is quite a bit farther from the city center than I had estimated, so getting back and forth without a car meant taking taxis (about 60 Rand each way into downtown) or the Hop-On/Hop-Off bus (170 Rand for the day; 270 for 2 consecutive days--though you can save 20 Rand if you buy your tickets online ahead of time and bring a printout).

I had the front room which was a bit noisy with all the coming and going. Would recommend a room at the back or upstairs and then everything else would be perfect.

Room also had private table for breakfast on the porch. Unfortunately this is one of the noisiest rooms being in front and you hear everyone coming and going and the staff preparing for breakfast. Would recommend a room upstairs or in the back. Other than that the place is great.

The room we stayed in was at par with that of a good hotel. The bathroom was clean and seemed to be newly renovated. The door lock & safety box were of old design, but these were well-maintaned and functional.
