Distances are measured in a straight line from the nearest part of the street. Places may be near different sections. Areas use an interior point, not an entrance. These are source records, not unique venues or walking distances. Activity is not corroborated: records come from the September 2026 map snapshot, and an object's edit date does not confirm that a venue operates.

Questions about this street

Where is Olifantshoek Street?

The mapped section is in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

What is the closest mapped public transport to Olifantshoek Street?

Tafelsig Primary is approximately 170 m in a straight line from the nearest part of the mapped street. This is a source record within the 1 km search radius, not a walking route or confirmation of operating services.
