"Good enough for a Prince"

1 night Arrived 4 Oct 2015
"We had room 6 for a single night, apparently Prince Harry had room 8 in July. Good enough recommendation for anyone??

Our second visit (7 years on) was just as enjoyable as the first time. Friendly efficient service, great food and comfortable rooms.

The staff were extremely helpful, including assisting with our hire car delivery problems (see above), being very concerned about service levels they expect for their guests! Thanks to all" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 3 Oct 2015
"A charming, quirky, small hotel full of character.

We arrived hoping to watch the England - Australia World Cup rugby match so were delighted to find a big TV and cable in the room. Unfortunately it was not working but the young manager spent a large part of the afternoon chasing the cable company and fiddling with the TV in an attempt to get it to work. In the end he booked us a table at a nearby bar/restaurant where we were able to watch the match with locals, and the atmosphere was much better than watching it in the room anyway!

The room itself was huge - in face calling it a suite is probably more accurate, and some lovely touches such as port and chocolates left in our room for us to come back to after the restaurant. A good central location, ideal for a last night in Namibia before flying home." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia

"Great overnight stop and excellent dinner"

1 night Arrived 14 Sep 2015
"Room 10 was spacious with a large and unusual 'concrete' bathroom. It was on the ground floor and quiet, even though it opened onto the bar terrace. Very comfortable and well-equipped room, helpful staff and good location.

Decided to have dinner in, as menu looked good and we were feeling too lazy to go out. Excellent food, well presented and served. Breakfast was also good, though the buffet was a bit chaotic. Perfect stop for one night or even 2." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in Zimbabwe; 4n in Botswana
