Exquisitely decorated (materials, colors and art) comfortable large rooms. Breakfast is served outside under umbrellas with a lovely view of the city, dietary needs catered for with care. The in-house restaurant was of far better quality than the top restaurants we tried in the city - stay in and enjoy. I would return to Windhoek just to stay at this... More

The Olive Exclusive is located in Klein or Little Windhoek, which is a five to ten minute drive from the centre of Windhoek. It sits on a hill in a lovely and very quiet suburb, with a pleasant view across a small valley and into some nearby hills. Upon arrival we were greeted personally by the owners/operators and were escorted... More

Outstanding rooms and decor, which are very well designed. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent. Service is friendly, but sometimes a little slow in a quaint way. I would highly recommend this hotel.

After a 2 week safari which was wonderful but dusty it was like an oasis of calm to check into the Olive Exclusive for the final night of my holiday. From the initial welcome to the final goodbye the stay was perfect. My suite was enormous, very comfortable and nicely private and it was great to be able to relax... More

I have visited The Olive Exclusive three times and it just gets better. I have been in three different suites and each has been unique. As a business traveller it is very relaxing and energizing to come back after a long day to the tranquility, friendliness and comfort of The Olive.

We spent the last night of our honeymoon in Windhoek which also happened to be new year's eve. We had a lovely dinner that also tasted AMAZING and fresh and the service including hanging out with the chef a bit was delightful. The atmosphere was intimate and laid back but very high quality all around. The room itself was quite... More

Arrived here after camping in a tent for a week, what a wonderful surprise! The price had indicated that the suite should be impressive, but the suite exceeded my expectations, it had a calming elegance (if that is such a thing!). The service was brilliant - not overt, but very efficient and welcoming eg the turn down service at night... More

We only stayed one night and I would have liked to stay longer. The Olive exclusive is located a 5 minute drive from central Windhoeck, a drawback since I would not want to walk to town from here. But otherwise excellent after 35 hours on the road. Wonderful suites, with small kitchen and dining area, coffee machine, mini bar etc.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
This intimate boutique hotel in a tranquil corner of Windhoek embodies the very essence of chic comfort.The Olive Exclusive – the first ultra-luxurious sanctuary of its kind in the Namibian capital – is cool, contemporary and stylish but with a warm heart and authentic African soul. Its sleek, modern lines are complemented by organic textures, natural furnishings, an eco-friendly approach and dedicated personal service.Simple elegance is key, from the organic rough-hewn wooden benches and side tables, through the sculpted chunk of granite that serves as a coffee table in the guest lounge, to walls clad in abstract Namibian landscapes by well-known South African photographer Micky Hoyle.The seven suites are individually decorated so each reflects a different region in Namibia, and each has its own lounge area with fireplace and dining room, for private dining. Wide glass doors open onto spacious decks where you can relax on a shady daybed, enjoy al fresco lunches or, if yours is a premium suite, take a dip in your own private plunge pool.Such are the creature comforts that you may find it hard to leave: sink into an extra-length bed dressed in crisp, pure-cotton linen, or indulge in a bubble bath in a freestanding tub with sweeping mountain views. Air-conditioning, satellite TV and iPod docking stations are standard, as is a computer with WiFi access. Then there's a fully stocked mini bar, complete with a premium wine selection, so you can toast the setting sun in fine style.The Olive Exclusive boasts a quality restaurant featuring a seasonal menu, with inventive signature dishes. The fully stocked bar also features a classic selection of fine whisky. ... more   less
