"Fabulous accomodations and food!"
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
"Olive Grove review"
The rooms were air-conditioned and attractive. The food was good but not awesome. The overall feel of the place was welcoming and busy, partly because it is close to down-town.
Compared to our experience in the camps, the service wasn't quite as good, but by then we were setting the bar pretty high. Never did figure out how to work the safe." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
"Olive Grove review"
I have to add that it is not the fault of the guesthouse, but there were 2 dogs continuously barking all night from the private house next door—this did not improver the atmosphere." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Ideal overnight"
The rooms were charming and the meals absolutely delicious (possibly the best we encountered in Namibia).
A very welcoming first stop and one we would not hesitate to return to." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"My stay here"
"A good base for the end of our trip"
They were very accommodating and let us leave our car there on the morning of departure, so that we could explore the city centre ahead of needing to get back to the airport." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
