"Olive Grove review"
"A very good overnight stay at Olive Grove"
We would recommend this guest house for an overnight stay at the beginning or end of a trip." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"very pleasant, good food, good service."
It was a very nice modern place with nice garden and a small "pool" so we kept on saying we did not feel like we were in Namibia. We ate a light meal in the afternoon after walking to the downtown.--It is about 10~15 minutes walk. Breakfast was also good.
Free internet access is in the lounge, and service was excellent." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Great food and welcome at Olive Grove"
We were taken to see the new complex which was quite stunning. Very upmarket and expensive but great to see such beautifully designed rooms.
In winter the eating area was a bit chilly though there was a patio heater which helped." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Olive Grove an oasis in the city"
The Olive Grove is a real oasis within Namibia's capital city. We decided to eat out on our last night in Namibia at Luigi and the Fish, where the food was very good. The hotel provided us with a complimentary shuttle service to and from the restaurant which was unexpected but much appreciated. Breakfast at the Olive Grove was fantastic."
