"A good place to begin a holiday in Namibia. "

1 night Arrived 5 Nov 2018
"The room was comfortable, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful (one of our bags didn't arrive from Joburg until the following morning and they were very helpful). They organised a taxi for us to Joe's Beerhouse and pointed out on the map the best mall to go shopping before setting off to Hoodia.

We didn't use the pool." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Olive Grove"

2 nights Arrived 1 Oct 2018
"We very much enjoyed our 3 nights at Olive Grove. The rooms were spacious, attractively decorated and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were good but the dinners not so good as the meat was very tough. It was game or chicken and disappointing. There were no activities as we were using it as a base at the beginning and end of our trip. and it worked very well." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
