"Olive Grove review"
The more major impact was that it was significantly colder, and the heating downstairs, plus hot water bottles in the beds, even more appreciated!" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Olive Grove review"
Both of us were tired, I travelling on to Windhoek after an overnight flight from Heathrow to Jo'burg, and Kathy on an early morning flight out of Port Elizabeth to Jo'burg to meet up with me. We therefore decided to eat at the Olive Grove and were impressed with the menu, choice of wines, and quality of cooking; the breakfast was equally good and generous.
The beds were comfortable and provided with a hot water bottle!" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
We had both dinner and breakfast there (both meals pleasant) and paid for a packed lunch on departure.
There was building work going on during our stay - whilst there was evidence of this it didn't impact our time.
We had already had a few days in SA prior to flying to Windhoek. On reflection we would have been happy to get straight on the road rather than overnighting in Windhoek as we didn't need time to recover from a long journey. That said, we're happy to have dipped our toes into Namibia's capital but wouldn't recommend an overnight stay unless rest time is needed." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
The Olive Grove was okay. The food was good, they had a lot of vegetarian options on the menu but only a couple were available.
The hotel was functional, and easy to get to the airport the next morning." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
