Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Olive Grove is a small upmarket accommodation establishment situated close to the city centre in a quiet, peaceful area. Big Sky’s first property in Windhoek and bordering The Olive Exclusive, the guesthouse takes homely atmosphereto a different level. Recently completely refurbished, each room has been decorated and painted with new colourschemes allowing a different feel, but with the same elegant and simplistic emphasis on décor.The newly renovated, open-plan kitchen allows guests to see how meals are prepared, while they enjoy a drink in the lounge. The menu was also reinvented and is now fully a la carte, quite unique for a guesthouse. Home-style food is rounded off with great presentation, pushing up the level of the guesthouse dining experience. The upper deck hasbeen revamped into a private dining corner, with two Moroccan-style sections, for guests to get comfy on the large pillows and enjoy the ambience and view from the top.The on-site Wellness Room offers a selection of professional services, to assist guests on their journey towards inner and outer well-being.Whilst each of the ten rooms and one suite cater for every need of the most discerning traveller, the emphasis remains one of simplicity and elegance. ... more less

“ugly room, very over-priced”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Travel agent booked us here for 3 nights. We left after one. Guesthouse is in a leafy suburb several kms from the City. We had room 8. Large rectangular room with white walls and ugly huge open grey-black-brown painted concrete bathtub/shower in the middle, with matching wing along the wall with 2 wash basins. Supposed to resemble stonework no doubt.... More

Problem with this review?

We appreciate that the beauty of Trip Advisor is that the comments are entirely the guests’ subjective views. This particular review is so obviously the reviewer’s personal taste and subjective opinions, that we do not believe there is any point in trying to ‘defend’ ourselves. From our side, these guests arrived quite late in the afternoon, and came down to... More

“An oasis of calm after a long flight”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

The Olive Grove Guesthouse (and the next door Olive Grove Exclusive) is a delightful oasis of understated elegance and calm, just perfect for a stop-over in Windhoek. We stayed for a night after a long journey to Namibia and before setting off on our self-drive safari tour. After a massage, delicious dinner and wonderfully peaceful night's sleep, we felt completely... More

“Never stay in room #7! Awful!”

Reviewed 11 April 2013 via mobile

My review would have been a lot more positive, except for the particular room I was assigned to. Room #7 was very smelly (just above the open kitchen) and very noisy (I could hear the staff talking loudly all afternoon). My romm and clothes stank of the cooking smells all night. My advice? Do stay at the Olive Grove as... More

We would like to thank these guests for bringing this problem to our attention. Olive Grove has an open-plan kitchen where all the meals are prepared in full view of our guests, but we have never before had a problem with food smells. We have therefore immediately had both our extractor fans in the kitchen serviced – we have 2... More

“A drop of Olive Oil in the Sea of surrounding sands - most satisfactory”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

A very pleasant over night stay in Windhoek and after a very bumpy flight from Kasane I needed it! Fantastically big rooms, wonderful food and a great host who was always around when one needed a question answering. Home from home in a home which has its quirky modern bits to it. Sadly I don't get to Windhoek very often... More

“Excellent welcome at the OliveGrove”

Reviewed 1 March 2013

The jacarandas were in full bloom as we arrived at The Olive Grove after the short drive from the airport. Our large fully equipped room was very comfortable though the colour scheme, olive, took a little getting used you. We were made very welcome here with nothing too much trouble. We decided to eat in and sitting in the courtyard... More

“Short but Sweet Stay”

Reviewed 20 February 2013

We stayed at the Olive Grove for one night in August 2012 at the beginning of our Namibia tour. We stayed in 2 guest rooms across the garden. The rooms were simple but comfortable and had a cool design edge with concrete bathrooms! The food in the restaurant was lovely and the breakfast was great.

We stayed here on the first night of our self drive. The Olive Grove is a small oasis in the middle of Windhoek. As we dined on our excellent meal on the outdoor patio we found it hard to believe that this quiet and peaceful spot was actually sorrounded city.
