"Olive Exclusive review"
Lovely room, very spacious. Lovely staff. Good food. Wonderful breakfast.
Downsides:
On arrival we went to the guest house next-door by mistake!
We could easily have driven to Kalahari Red Dunes on Day 1 and missed Windhoek altogether.
It was helpful to get cash & get acclimatised but not really necessary" See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Olive Exclusive review"
Unfortunately on our return we had to shift to alternative accommodation as the AC was not working in 3 of the rooms that we were offered . All the staff and manager agreed that it was not working yet the owner who chanced to be there insisted it was and that no there guests had complained.
The machines were old and inadequate for a room of that size ( a 5Ton AC is absolutely insufficient ). Contrary to her version that the machines were new. The staff were gobsmacked when she said that and confided in us that her version was untrue." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Tranquil Setting in Windhoek"
We stayed in a premier suite, which offered a comfortable sitting area, plush bed, and plunge pool, and enjoyed all meals at the restaurant, which were wonderfully prepared.
Highly recommend!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

The food was better than at Olive Grove Guesthouse, but still didn’t reach the stellar quality of some local restaurants." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 15n in Botswana
