"Olive Grove was a lovely welcome to Namibia"

1 night Arrived 17 Sep 2017
"Olive Grove was very welcoming. It felt like a peaceful, secluded little haven in Windhoek.

We were only there for one night, but it was a nice way to start our trip.

Nice little touches, such as complimentary port before bed time." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 17 Sep 2017
"See previous ie first night

We were allocated room 11 on our last stay and we would like to mention that the TAPS in the bathroom are STIFF and it is almost impossible to turn them on or off. You might like to feed this back to the property." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Great food at Olive Grove "

1 night Arrived 5 Sep 2017
"The downside is you have to share the terrace with other guests, there is not much privacy, other guests can see you when you are in your room when they walk to their rooms or stay on the terrace.

We had two dinners there, food was great but they could change the menu which was exactly the same on our two stays.

There were dogs barking all afternoon and till late night, this is a bit annoying." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
