"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 11 Feb 2024
"The Olive Grove Lodge is an excellent overnight stop.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The food at dinner and breakfast is excellent with a good choice of dishes.

My only small issue is that the courtyard tends to have a lot of mosquitos so remember to use the bug spray." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

1 night Arrived 30 Jul 2023
"We had an enjoyable overnight stay on arrival in Namibia. This was what we needed - a convenient city centre hotel with welcoming attentive staff and good food on site.

There is a good supermarket a short walk / drive away to stock up for car journeys." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
