"Olive Grove review"
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
