"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 2 Oct 2012
"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." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Lovely welcome at Olive Grove"

1 night Arrived 14 Aug 2012
"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." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia

"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." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
