"Great food at Olive Grove"
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

"excellent location for a stop over"
"Very pleasant stopover."
"A good lodge in the city"
"Exremely comfortable, good service"
The only very minor snafu (which may have been our jet-lagged/traveling misunderstanding) was that we heard that dinner was 6 pm onwards so when we arrived around 7 pm we were surprised that everyone else was just finishing at it appeared that it was a firm 6 pm start. This was not a problem and they served us an excellent meal. We walked into town, which is very straight forward, around 20 minutes I think." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
"Perfect first night stopover"
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"
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
