Totally totally totally different to any other hotel in Windhoek.....or anywhere else in the world for that matter - put together with love and joy by enthsiastic owners no doubt! The rooms are all different, and each is a real surprise - jaw-dropping actually (at least the 3 we saw). The breakfast is heavenly - the blinis are fantastic. Coffee... More

We spent a couple nights here recently on the tail end of our Namibia trip. Like Olive Grove next door, it is in a very nice location - very close to downtown yet outside the hustle and bustle. The rooms are great and each one is unique and large with plenty of amenities (plunge pools, outdoor showers, fireplaces etc for... More

Stayed for 2 nights at the beginning and end of our tour of Namibia. Close to the city centre but in a residential area it manages to still have good views out to the mountains. The main reception and lodges are quite new but the thing that strikes you is the quality and thought that has gone into the place,... More

The Olive Exclusive is just a few doors away from the Olive Tree Guesthouse. The suite which we stayed in was luxurious and extremely comfortable. It even had a coffee making machine - with instructions! Service is impeccable and the food in the restaurant excellent. The chef came out of the kitchen during dinner to introduce himself and to check... More

I can't recommend the Olive Exclusive more - the staff were endlessly helpful, cheerful - the food was amazing and diverse (brie salad = amazing) and the rooms are breathtaking. I wish I could hire the interior designer to do my own house. Anyone on business or leisure would do well to treat themselves to a few nights at the... More

This property, a new addition to "The Olive Grove Guesthouse" has blown us away. The "room" is a veritable interior designed African showpiece with all modern mod cons down to the Nespresso machine.. But mainly it is filled with African treasures but doesn't feel crowded, just lived-in. Breakfast served on the was divine. Carol, the manageress, was outstanding and so... More

We were passing by Windhoek to start a self drive holiday through Namibia and after safari in Botswana and were amazed by this place. We even wanted to stay an extra night but couldn't because of our travel arrangements. We were supposed to stay in their sister B&B the Olive Grove but on arrival we discovered that we were upgraded... More
