Excellent welcome at the OliveGrove
The jacarandas were in full bloom as we arrived at The Olive Grove after the short drive from the airport. Our large fully equipped room was very comfortable though the colour scheme, olive, took a little getting used you.
We were made very welcome here with nothing too much trouble. We decided to eat in and sitting in the courtyard in the warmth of the evening after the cold of the English autumn was a delight. The menu was not large but had sufficient choice. I opted for the kudu steak which though tasty was not the tenderest piece of meat I had eaten, kudu can be a bit like that, but full of flavour.
Breakfast as in nearly all the places we stayed in really set us up for the day with loads of fresh fruit, breads, rolls, cold meats, cheeses as well as a variety of cooked items.
We returned to The Olive Grove at the end of our Namibian tour and this time we were given a room with a bath, the first we had had for three weeks so we both had a very welcome soak!!!!!
A ten minute walk took us into the centre of Windhoek where we were able to do some last minute shopping for gifts though it is not a very touristy town and one can do far better in the craft markets in Okahandja if you don't mind the hassling.
We can certainly recommend The Olive Grove as an ideal location to start and finish a Namibian holiday.
Olive Grove review
The location is farther from town than anticipated (and using a pre-arranged car isn't cheap), but Olive Grove's peaceful garden setting is a solid trade off.
Our room was very spacious and, like the public spaces, handsomely appointed.
Olive Grove review
Overall we would say that the rooms were getting a little tired. We did stay there 10 yrs ago & their furnishings seemed little changed in style at least.

A very good, easy to find guest house. Ideal for the first and last night of trips. Warm welcome, good food, comfortable rooms.
Rooms could benefit from upgrading safes to electronic digital locks.
Lovely welcome at Olive Grove
We liked Olive Grove very much. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous, the rooms were good, clean and spacious (we had Rooms 10 and 11).
The shower was excellent, and much appreciated after a long journey. It was a cold night, and hot water bottles were a welcome touch.
We ate dinner and breakfast there, and thought the food was of a very high standard and great value. We stayed again at the end of our holiday, in more expensive rooms (5 and 6) which were huge but not worth the extra as the other rooms are great.
Olive Grove review
pretty good overall. slightly away from downtown Windhoek although an attentive service, nice and comfortable rooms and good food more than compensate for the short trip. very pleasant and relaxing environment. moreover, the sister Boutique Olive hotel next door even nicer. we had breakfast last day and was really good.
great choice.

Windhoek is a spectacularly well organised and clean city.
The Olive Grove was very comfortable and everything worked properly. Food was good and service friendly and efficient. Excellent place to stopover.
