"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

"Good central Windhoek base"
1 night Arrived 2 Aug 2016
"This was the first place we stayed in Namibia and it was excellent - everything you need with attentive staff, lovely and spacious rooms, high speed wifi and a choice of breakfasts (the game sausage was particularly memorable). There's also a very small pool area to relax by, although we chose to spend our afternoon in the city centre - only a 15 minute walk away.
The Olive Grove is also close to some decent restaurants too, either a quick drive or taxi away (we were advised not to walk after dark despite the area being really nice and seemingly trouble free)." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Great one-night stop"
1 night Arrived 20 Jul 2016
"Great place to recuperate from the flight. Luxury room was spacious - and the hot water bottles they made at night were a nice surprise.
Had a lovely meal at Joes Beerhouse which was near - tried all different kind of game and crocodile! They were happy to book a taxi for us. The best breakfast we had in the whole holiday was at Olive Grove.
Didn't appear to be much parking but wasn't a problem for us as we seemed to be the only car there. The pool also didn't seem too appealing." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 6 Jun 2016
"Good enough...fine for an evening before moving on. It somewhat feels like a prison because of the security wire around it. No problem with the people, who were cordial and helpful except for the night crew who seemed to have been sleeping a bit too well...neglected to roll up the sunshades, which were flapping noisily away for most of the night."
