This comfortable, high-quality guesthouse has a quiet location whilst still being close to Windhoek’s bustling centre. Its stylish architecture and elegant style is balanced by its simple décor, with exposed stone and cement combining with wrought iron furniture and comfortable sofas to give it a rustic, ‘shabby-chic’ appeal.
The tastefully decorated indoor lounge has a cosy fireplace, while the open-air seating area, sun lounge, plunge pool and tranquil garden allow you to unwind in the sun or cool off under the shade of a tree or canopy. During your stay you can expect a friendly, personal service from the efficient staff, who will be happy to make recommendations for your free time.
Olive Grove is one of our favourite options for a stay in Windhoek. It鈥檚 a great place to relax, but still close to the buzzing town, whose shops, restaurants and other attractions are well worth exploring.
