"A good relaxing place to start and finish"
Rooms that open directly onto the dining area are okay but not perfect especially when other guests get quite noisy especially later in the evening. Had one very noisy night there.
Otherwise loved it and on our return journey we were upgraded to an upstairs room, which was wonderful and we were really grateful. And would go back." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
I loved that it felt like we were staying in a friend's country home, with the kitchen immediately adjacent to the dining area.
Quiet for being so near to the heart of Windhoek. We only went into Windhoek on our last day but found it to be pleasant and easy to explore - especially the Craft Centre. We happily spent the last of our Namibian dollars there and felt it was very good value." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Olive Grove review"
It felt like we were in a little oasis of calm that got us ready for our adventure ahead. The staff were very informative and positive which again reinforced our feelings of excitement of what was to follow in the coming weeks." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
