Your Host Raymond McGovern’s Top Cape Town Activities
Cape Town, South Africa, has established itself as one of the top destinations in the world—and for good reason. Located in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, Cape Town and its surrounding areas offer a wide variety of activities that cater to the different types and tastes of travelers.
Sea Point, a seaside suburb of Cape Town, sits along the Atlantic Ocean and provides guests at Olaf’s the perfect opportunity to stroll along the beachfront Promenade and take in the ocean air. Cafés and shops are within walking distance, and our bed and breakfast is a 30 – 45-minute drive from almost all activities, scenic routes and mountain trails, golf courses, and the beautiful winelands of Stellenbosch.
Cape Town is a great place to try out new things, such as kite boarding and shark diving, or to look at the world from a different perspective (touring Robben Island.)
Your host Raymond McGovern has lived in Cape Town since he was young, and he and his staff are happy to help guests book activities, tours, and day trips, and recommend the best shopping and dining Cape Town has to offer.
