"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 4 Nov 2014
"Room & bathroom were quite nice, but the bare concrete floors were rather unwelcome. The receptionist was very helpful.

We were a bit surprised when they wanted to close the lounge area by 9pm, stopping any use of the computer. Breakfast was fine if unremarkable. Overall, a pleasant but not exceptional B&B." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana

"Good rest after a long flight"

Champagne on ice in the room on our arrival - a nice touch - the holiday was off to a good start!

Good nights sleep in a very comfortable bed after a substaintial first meal in Namibia - the steak was delicious.

Generous breakfast packs to take with us on our early morning departure." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 21 Sep 2014
"This was a nice guesthouse. They were helpful when we arrived and telling us where the restaurant we had booked was and other requests. They provided us with a fabulous early breakfast.

The room was pleasant although it would have been nicer with a door to the toilet rather than a curtain. It was perfect for us in that it was close to the arrival spot from the north relatively easy to get out for the airport and extremely close to the restaurant which we went to."

"Olive Grove - quality accommodation"

1 night Arrived 13 Aug 2014
"We enjoyed our stay at Olive Grove and would highly recommend it to other travelers.

All staff members were professional and pleasant to deal with and the manager had a good rapport with her staff. The rooms were very clean and nicely decorated with Namibian touches. Wi-fi access was good in the room. The food was excellent both at breakfast and at dinner. The Olive Grove team successfully managed to create a laid-back atmosphere for guests, while providing a very high standard of service.

We did not take part in activities at this location so cannot comment on this aspect of the accommodation." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Comfortable Stay in Windhoek"

1 night Arrived 7 Aug 2014
"We only stayed one-night, after a delay in our flight with South African, but I sure wish it had been two.

Everyone was very helpful; our room was very pleasant; we walked into town to change currency and visit a few shops; our dinner and packed breakfast, prepared for our early departure, were excellent." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 14n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
