"Boutiquey Olive Grove"
Fantastic room, fab bathroom. Biggest bath I have ever seen, unfortunately there just wasnt enough hot water to get it filled above a puddle.
Dinner was superb, expensive but worth it.
We had to ask for a packed breakfast because we were leaving so early. We had high hopes for it because the dinner had been so good , and because we had watched them baking bread the night before. Very disappointing, stale packet sandwich and packets of sweets. It was like a Macdonalds happy meal.Had to buy something at airport instead.
A very nice way to relax at the end of a long trip, good access to the city ( not really walkable though). Had a SPA room with treatments so you could really wind down before travelling." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Relax at Olive Grove"
They offer spa treatments, which we did not try out as we only had a couple of hours there in the afternoon and wanted an early night before an early transfer to the airport." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

We visited the Geological Survey in the Ministry of Mining and Energy (near Eros Airport) - interesting and well presented." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Olive Grove review"
We had in our first night at Olive Grove the best food we had in our trip to Namibia (we would rate it as excelent), but in the last night dinner was average. And as other places in Namibia, they face some problems with hot running water when there are many people using the shower at the same time, problems which the staff will be glad and quick to solve.
We reccommend the place." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Olive Grove review"
A little bit of style over substance in that the two washbasins and shower looked great but didn't function entirely successfully.
Lovely breakfast but the dinner tried a bit too hard. That said, we would definitely stay here again - and it was 100% nicer than any hotel." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
