"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
