General Information

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 Road and Main Road in Sea Point.
Olafs’ Guest House was built back in 1937, which helps to explain our design, spacious interiors, high ceilings and wooden/tiled floors. It has more recently been renovated and enhanced with touches of upmarket African style and charm.
