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!

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

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.

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.
