"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 21 May 2024
"Very comfortable room in a lovely guest house in the suburbs. Helpful service too.

If we were to stay more than one night, we think we would have looked for somewhere that was closer to restaurants and the centre of Windhoek. However, it was ideal for the one night we stayed here.

We also appreciated that it was only around 45 minutes from the airport." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 18 May 2024
"Easy check-in to this well appointed guesthouse - very pleased with the room and staff very friendly.

After our long flights we decided to dine in house and we were very pleased with the delicious meal in lovely surroundings. Excellent breakfast too.

Car parking was very tight but the staff member who assisted us was brilliant.

There are a few awkward step at this property to both rooms and restaurant which might be a problem for some people." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
