"Olive Grove review"
Since we had been up all night on the flight, we were a little jet lagged but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We did not do any activities at the hotel (or that were arranged by the hotel) so I have put "no comment" in that category below." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
