"Olive Grove , windhoek. "

1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2018
"We really liked this guest house. It was very different from a European guest house, and charming.

The accommodation was excellent and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. We particularly liked the way the kitchen was open to the customers.

The dinner was lovely, Oryx steaks, beautifully cooked.

Breakfast was relaxed and extensive." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"As above, a good place to overnight on the way in and the way out of Windhoek.

Our timings were tight (very early flight) so did not give it full justice." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 14 Sep 2018
"The Olive Grove was a very convenient place for us to stay on our first night in Namibia as we picked our car up in Windhoek rather than the airport.

The room was large and comfortable and had everything we required, although the decor is a little tired. We chose to eat in and the food in their restaurant was excellent. I think for a short stay in Windhoek the Olive Grove works well.

The only problem is that the car parking is quite cramped so if you wish to leave and come back a few times during your stay it may be difficult." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Overall good, although room for improvement"

2 nights Arrived 27 Aug 2018
"Fine as a stop-over in Windhoek for a night or two.

The food at breakfast and dinner was excellent & freshly cooked.

There were some nice facilities in the room (e.g. bath as well as shower) but the general fabric of the room (polished cement) 'jarred' a little, and would benefit from a little updating and/or 'softening' to give a less 'tired' feeling." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

However we were received well, even though the driver who brought us from Windhoek airport let it be known that he should have been in bed." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 7n in Botswana
