"Olive Grove review"

2 nights Arrived 16 Sep 2016
"This is a very nice, traditional structure outside the center of the city.

The city center is about a 25 minute walk away and to go anywhere, one needs to take a taxi. The food is outstanding at this guest house and the service excellent.

Highly recommended for a one or two night stay in the Windhoek area." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Olive Grove"

1 night Arrived 8 Sep 2016
"Tucked away in an almost business area this Guest house was a bit surprising in it,s quality and presentation . Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were terrific.

As we were a bit later arriving we ate dinner 'in house ' and it was fantastic. Buffet breakfast was also of a high standard.

The rooms were ver very comfortable and a little side note -- Prince Harry stayed there a couple of years ago !

There was ample parking for the vehicle .

I would most certainly stay again ." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
