"Brief overnight Stop."
"Olive Grove review"
"Finale at Olive Grove Guest House"
Location was in a pleasant leafy suburb but a trip into town required a ride in the hotel's shuttle at £9 return. Although an attractive house, the minimalist decor seemed rather bleak in the winter climate though they did provide a welcome hot water bottle. Food was mostly excellent apart from a disastrous so called chicken breast which was completely uncuttable and inedible. Service was friendly and efficient" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

Thoroughly recommend Joe's Beerhouse for dinner and the Namibia Craft Centre for coffee/tea/snack." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"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
