"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 1 Jul 2024
"We had a very large suite which we appreciated and the bed was super comfortable.
Olive Grove seems a bit pretentious. The rooms were dark b/c of the darkened color of the walls and with concrete floor, walls and ceiling, the room was an echo chamber. The toilet area had no privacy.
Staff were not particularly engaged but were helpful when needed." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Great last night (&day) in Namibia"
1 night Arrived 25 Jun 2024
"After 3 weeks in the Bush and on gravel roads, the 4 of us very much enjoyed the luxury & peace of the rooms and baths of Olive Grove before taking our flight home.
Dinner was excellent and the chief of staff was kind enough to organize a birthday cake overnight for our eldest. Olive Grove established the connection for a 3 hours city tour of Windhoek, including main landmarks of the city, Katutura, a local market at Katutura (impressive) and a visit at the Penduka women's development project crafts center. We paid N$2800 for the four of us.
Our guide & driver Gary did just an OK job, really just driving us around & taking care of us. These tours of Katutura & the city are probably good business; the more knowledgeable the guide, the better your tour will get." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 21 May 2024
"Very comfortable room in a lovely guest house in the suburbs. Helpful service too.
If we were to stay more than one night, we think we would have looked for somewhere that was closer to restaurants and the centre of Windhoek. However, it was ideal for the one night we stayed here.
We also appreciated that it was only around 45 minutes from the airport." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

1 night Arrived 18 May 2024
"Easy check-in to this well appointed guesthouse - very pleased with the room and staff very friendly.
After our long flights we decided to dine in house and we were very pleased with the delicious meal in lovely surroundings. Excellent breakfast too.
Car parking was very tight but the staff member who assisted us was brilliant.
There are a few awkward step at this property to both rooms and restaurant which might be a problem for some people." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Stayed here on our first night in Windhoek and chose it to return to for our last. Staff were welcoming and remembered us and gave us the same rooms.
Would definitely return if we ever returned to Windhoek." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
