"Olive Grove"
"Olive Grove Guest House"
What is very bad is the swimming pool area. The surrounding smooth tiles had, we were told by the manager, been freshly "varnished" that morning. As a result they were extremely slippery when wet with water.
My wife duly slipped and fell, breaking her arm. We advised that a sign should be placed to warn of this hazard. Upon our return two weeks later no action had been taken, and the manager was unconcerned. The tiles surrounding this pool are of completely the wrong type." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Great Windhoek base"
Incidentally we went walking down to Windhoek town center the day we arrived and were told by the Namibia tourist police to stop walking and go back to our hotel. We sensed someone had been following us. So travelers should be aware of this - particularly on quiet days." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Olive Grove was a lovely welcome to Namibia"
We were only there for one night, but it was a nice way to start our trip.
Nice little touches, such as complimentary port before bed time." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"See previous review "
We were allocated room 11 on our last stay and we would like to mention that the TAPS in the bathroom are STIFF and it is almost impossible to turn them on or off. You might like to feed this back to the property." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
