A good lodge in the city
The room was quiet and the restaurant was very good.

We spent one night here on arrival in Windhoek. Olive Grove was easy to find, with the benefit of the Expert Africa marked map, and one's car is parked within their secure gates. Our room was on the ground floor in the courtyard (don't remember room number) and was very comfortable. We ate lunch, dinner, and breakfast at the Olive Grove and food was excellent.
The only very minor snafu (which may have been our jet-lagged/traveling misunderstanding) was that we heard that dinner was 6 pm onwards so when we arrived around 7 pm we were surprised that everyone else was just finishing at it appeared that it was a firm 6 pm start. This was not a problem and they served us an excellent meal. We walked into town, which is very straight forward, around 20 minutes I think.
Perfect first night stopover
The rooms were comfortable, well proportioned and well equipped.
The food was excellent. Both dinner and breakfast menus offered a good choice and watching chefs prepare the meals in the open plan kitchen was really interesting.
Everyone was happy to answer questions and provide recommendations on activities and travel in Windhoek.
Olive Grove review
The staff were very friendly and did an excellent job.
Our room was constructed entirely of polished concrete with nothing to soften the effect. The building is surrounded by a high fence and electronic gates and has a penitentiary feel to it.
Our first night.
This was a perfect place to spend our first night. It was about 40 minutes from the airport and a 20 minute walk into town.
The room was large, a huge shower and comfortable bed. The room opened out onto a shared terrace. The service was very good and we had a lovely meal here in the evening outside. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We would come here again.
Olive Grove review
Fine for an overnight stop. Helpful staff. Swimming pool out of action - limited swimming pool area.
Dining 'deck' overlooking car parking area not especially appealing. Luckily, the lovely Olive Exclusive next door has a wonderful restaurant - worth walking around to! (We'd have paid the extra $$$'s to have stayed there!)
