The Guesthouse
Olive Grove Guesthouse
Olive Grove is a boutique guesthouse on a quiet street in Klein Windhoek, about five minutes from the city centre and 45 minutes from the international airport. With just eleven rooms, it feels more like a stylish home than a hotel.
The rooms mix African art and natural textures with comfortable beds, cotton linen and air-conditioning. Most have a deep stone bath. Five Classic Rooms are on the ground floor, five Terrace Rooms are upstairs, and there is one large Terrace Suite.
The restaurant is a highlight: an open kitchen and a full à la carte menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, using Namibian produce. There is a small plunge pool on the patio, and massages can be booked in the small wellness room.
