"Olive Grove a tranquil haven"
1 night Arrived 11 Aug 2010
"As soon as we arrived we were made to feel extremely comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they were happy to organise everything for us.
The room was lovely, with some really nice personal touches. The food was also of a very high standard, our only regret was that we didn't eat there that evening as we went to Joe's bar.
Breakfast offered a very wide range and the veggies in our party were totally catered for. Transfers from one place to another ran very smoothly. An excellent start to our adventure." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 2 Aug 2010
"We chose Olive Grove as our place to recover from the flights.
It was more than just a stop-over; our holidays started from the moment we got in. Nice entourage and good food." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 1n in Zambia

"Finale at Olive Grove Guest House"
1 night Arrived 24 Jun 2010
"Please note this is about OLIVE GROVE not Okonjima which is on previous page.
Location was in a pleasant leafy suburb but a trip into town required a ride in the hotel's shuttle at £9 return. Although an attractive house, the minimalist decor seemed rather bleak in the winter climate though they did provide a welcome hot water bottle. Food was mostly excellent apart from a disastrous so called chicken breast which was completely uncuttable and inedible. Service was friendly and efficient" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"A good relaxing place to start and finish"
2 nights Arrived 22 May 2010
"Very warm welcome, extremely helpful staff,
Rooms that open directly onto the dining area are okay but not perfect especially when other guests get quite noisy especially later in the evening. Had one very noisy night there.
Otherwise loved it and on our return journey we were upgraded to an upstairs room, which was wonderful and we were really grateful. And would go back." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
