"Olive Exclusive review"
"A haven of peace in the capital"

"Olive Exclusive - an oasis in the city"
The suite we had was close to perfect - very spacious, very well decorated and furnished with good tea / coffee and min bar facilities. There was a large private terrace which was very pleasant for sitting and watching the sun go down. The laptop in the room was a nice touch. The staff were good enough to book a massage for each of us, which they currently do in your suite. Again, excellent.
Dinner was very good - each of our courses was perfectly cooked and tasted great. The breakfast was equally good with freshly baked bread and pastries, fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese and a menu of cooked options. All individually prepared and available at any time in the morning to suit guests. Unfortunately, there was building work right next door to our suite (neighbouring property). Noisy at 7 am. This didn't spoil our stay. And even with this, we would not hesitate to recommend." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Olive Exclusive review"
The only thing which would have improved our stay even further would have been an outdoor light at the balcony for our room so we could have used it after dark." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Sinful luxury"
Everything from check-in to check-out was handled smoothly and with a personal touch. The room (Namib Suite) was stunning - Nespresso maker, candlesticks around the bath, TV on a swivel, huge comfortable bed. The food was equally good, with an excellent choice of wines. Breakfast was amazing.
Highly recommended - stay here at the end of your trip because you won't find anything to equal it." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
