1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2010
"Very good breakfast. Best of holiday. Very friendly service.
Downside is design of guest house with rooms next door to dining area. Not good if you need an early night, following a 22 hour journey from UK." See all these reviews: 3n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 17 Sep 2010
"Whilst the room and bedding were clean, we found the place a little austere and not as welcoming as we would have liked.
The pool looked dirty and not very inviting." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 16 Sep 2010
"This was our first stop in Namibia. The accomodation was very comfortable, staff very professional and friendly and dinner was excellent - Great place to start the holiday after a long journey from Ireland.
We didn't take part in any activities at Olive Grove so that is why I have ticked 'no comment below'." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 15 Sep 2010
"Great place to start or end your visit to Namibia.
Found the jacuzzi most relaxing after a long flight - especially with the complimentary glass of champagne! Unfortunately no time to sample the spa. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Free internet access was also a bonus." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia

"Ideal last stop"
1 night Arrived 21 Aug 2010
"Unfair to comment as this was our last night and after Okonjima nothing would compare!
However this is a nice place to end the holiday, convenient for the airport and they serve dinner if you don't want to go into Windhoek. Excellent breakfast choice with selection of home made breads etc however dinner was slightly disappointing.
Olive Grove was a relaxing place and the staff were very helpful and friendly - they helped to confirm our flights etc." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia

"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

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: 10n in Namibia; 1n in Zambia
