"Olive Grove Review"
"Overall good, although room for improvement"
The food at breakfast and dinner was excellent & freshly cooked.
There were some nice facilities in the room (e.g. bath as well as shower) but the general fabric of the room (polished cement) 'jarred' a little, and would benefit from a little updating and/or 'softening' to give a less 'tired' feeling." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
