"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 21 Mar 2022
"The room was very much OK, except for the fact that it lacked screens behind the windows. For people who love fresh air at night, this is an absolute no-no. They also have a nice patio.

Dinner was average and nothing to write home about, but the breakfast was fine.

As far as parking is concerned, it’s easy to park your car, but as soon as there is more than one other self-driver, getting out of the premises is a nightmare." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 15n in Botswana

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 3 Mar 2022
"The staff were extremely welcoming, our room was great (we had booked the executive suite) and the food of very high quality. This makes a very good place to stay for the first and / or last night of any holiday in Namibia as it is close enough to the airport for convenience but with a very personalised service. There were 3 choices for both the starter and main course at dinner, and two choices for desert. All the food was freshly cooked and of high quality at a reasonable price.

Our room had all we could ask for (except wi-fi did not reach the whole space) and the tv, although not particularly necessary, had no channels to view as it relied on internet connections (YouTube, Netflix, Amazon)." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Fabulous accomodations and food!"

1 night Arrived 25 Jan 2020
"Lovely boutique type lodge, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms. Had dinner at their restaurant and it was excellent.

Located N end of town so easy access coming from airport, but located among other houses so not a lot you can walk to in the area.

We did have a little trouble locating it so get some good directions before going." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
