"Olive Grove review"
Outside our room was a small table and chairs under an awning overlooking the small parking area which was nice to use while we had a cup of tea, enjoying the pleasant temperature. There was also plenty of parking immediately opposite the gate which was not inconvenient if the parking area inside the gate was full.
We didn't use the small swimming pool but saw other guests using it.
We were glad we had reserved a table for dinner in advance as the food was excellent. It included a lovely broccoli and pear soup and one of the choices for main was eland fillet, delicious and beautifully cooked although we heard later it was actually springbok as eland was unavailable that day. Breakfast was also impressive.
The location was good - outside the main area of the town but close to a small shopping mall where we were able to pick up some supplies (water and snacks) for the long drives ahead and close to the main road network so we were able to get away to our next destination promptly, although we did stop to take some pictures of the famous church in the middle of a roundabout.
The staff filled our flask with coffee for us when we were leaving but we had forgotten to bring travel mugs. However, the lovely lady who checked us out found 2 disposable coffee cups with lids for us. She also provided a packed lunch for a small extra charge."

"Olive Grove review"
Friendly and helpful staff. Tea and coffee facilities and home made cookies provided. Also sherry and chocolates.
We decided to eat in for dinner and were very satisfied with the choice of starter, mains and dessert.
Breakfast was served at the table with a choice of both continental and cooked.
The pool was very small and could be described as decorative rather than functional.
The staff were friendly and we would choose Olive Grove again if we ever returned to Windhoek." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

The staff are friendly and helpful. The food at dinner and breakfast is excellent with a good choice of dishes.
My only small issue is that the courtyard tends to have a lot of mosquitos so remember to use the bug spray." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe
