"perfect for a first night stay."
The stone wall at the end of the bed was easy to stub your toe against when the covers were hanging over and hiding it but not sure how you could avoid this!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Olive Grove Review"
Downside is design of guest house with rooms next door to dining area. Not good if you need an early night, following a 22 hour journey from UK." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia
"First night in Namibia"
The staff were helpful and made us feel welcome, the room was comfortable and the food excellent. We loved the bath/shower (in room 8) that felt like a very upmarket cave!
We left after one night feeling refreshed and ready for the adventure to come." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
Found the jacuzzi most relaxing after a long flight - especially with the complimentary glass of champagne! Unfortunately no time to sample the spa. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Free internet access was also a bonus." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Olive Grove review"
"Ideal last stop"
However this is a nice place to end the holiday, convenient for the airport and they serve dinner if you don't want to go into Windhoek. Excellent breakfast choice with selection of home made breads etc however dinner was slightly disappointing.
Olive Grove was a relaxing place and the staff were very helpful and friendly - they helped to confirm our flights etc." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia
"Olive Grove a tranquil haven"
The room was lovely, with some really nice personal touches. The food was also of a very high standard, our only regret was that we didn't eat there that evening as we went to Joe's bar.
Breakfast offered a very wide range and the veggies in our party were totally catered for. Transfers from one place to another ran very smoothly. An excellent start to our adventure." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
