"Perfect first night stopover"

1 night Arrived 18 Apr 2017
"The rooms were comfortable, well proportioned and well equipped.

The food was excellent. Both dinner and breakfast menus offered a good choice and watching chefs prepare the meals in the open plan kitchen was really interesting.

Everyone was happy to answer questions and provide recommendations on activities and travel in Windhoek." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 9 Apr 2017
"The staff were very friendly and did an excellent job.

Our room was constructed entirely of polished concrete with nothing to soften the effect. The building is surrounded by a high fence and electronic gates and has a penitentiary feel to it." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Our first night."

1 night Arrived 24 Mar 2017
"This was a perfect place to spend our first night. It was about 40 minutes from the airport and a 20 minute walk into town.

The room was large, a huge shower and comfortable bed. The room opened out onto a shared terrace. The service was very good and we had a lovely meal here in the evening outside. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We would come here again." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 9 Feb 2017
"Fine for an overnight stop. Helpful staff. Swimming pool out of action - limited swimming pool area.

Dining 'deck' overlooking car parking area not especially appealing. Luckily, the lovely Olive Exclusive next door has a wonderful restaurant - worth walking around to! (We'd have paid the extra $$$'s to have stayed there!)" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
