"Olive Grove review"
"Olive Grove - quality accommodation"
All staff members were professional and pleasant to deal with and the manager had a good rapport with her staff. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated with Namibian touches. Wi-fi access was good in the room. The food was excellent both at breakfast and at dinner. The Olive Grove team successfully managed to create a laid-back atmosphere for guests, while providing a very high standard of service.
We did not take part in activities at this location so cannot comment on this aspect of the accommodation." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Comfortable Stay in Windhoek"
Everyone was very helpful; our room was very pleasant; we walked into town to change currency and visit a few shops; our dinner and packed breakfast, prepared for our early departure, were excellent." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 14n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Olive Grove review"
It was a bit difficult to get out for our very early flight (e.g. the front door had a large bar across it which I had to remove, but no one had warned me about it) and all the lights were off on the stairwells. They did pack us a bag of snacks as we missed breakfast." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
