"A good place to begin a holiday in Namibia. "
1 night Arrived 5 Nov 2018
"The room was comfortable, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful (one of our bags didn't arrive from Joburg until the following morning and they were very helpful). They organised a taxi for us to Joe's Beerhouse and pointed out on the map the best mall to go shopping before setting off to Hoodia.
We didn't use the pool." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Olive Grove"
2 nights Arrived 1 Oct 2018
"We very much enjoyed our 3 nights at Olive Grove. The rooms were spacious, attractively decorated and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were good but the dinners not so good as the meat was very tough. It was game or chicken and disappointing. There were no activities as we were using it as a base at the beginning and end of our trip. and it worked very well."

"Olive Grove , windhoek. "
1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2018
"We really liked this guest house. It was very different from a European guest house, and charming.
The accommodation was excellent and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. We particularly liked the way the kitchen was open to the customers.
The dinner was lovely, Oryx steaks, beautifully cooked.
Breakfast was relaxed and extensive." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"As above, a good place to overnight on the way in and the way out of Windhoek.
Our timings were tight (very early flight) so did not give it full justice." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 14 Sep 2018
"The Olive Grove was a very convenient place for us to stay on our first night in Namibia as we picked our car up in Windhoek rather than the airport.
The room was large and comfortable and had everything we required, although the decor is a little tired. We chose to eat in and the food in their restaurant was excellent. I think for a short stay in Windhoek the Olive Grove works well.
The only problem is that the car parking is quite cramped so if you wish to leave and come back a few times during your stay it may be difficult." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
