"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 8 Oct 2024
"Great lodge. The rooms were large and clean.

The steps leading up to the rooms could prove a problem for anyone with mobility problems but there are ground floor rooms.

The staff here are just lovely and very helpful. The meal was probably one of the best we had during the entire holiday - just superb.

I would definitely recommend this place." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 6 Oct 2024
"A really comfortable and welcoming guest house which is ideal for a first or last night. It is within walking distance of the city although taxis are easy and cheap.

Great service and comfortable rather than uber luxurious rooms.

The service is really good as is the food." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
