Olienhoff Guesthouse is located just outside Otavi (2km from the Sentra Shopping Centre) on the B1 to northern Namibia towards Etosha National Park (161km from the Namutoni Gate). Surrounded by oil wood trees which provides plenty of shade and is home to various species of birds, the guesthouse offers a restaurant, patio and garden. All rooms include air conditioning, a small fridge, a flat-screen TV with some DSTV channels, a private bathroom, bed linen, towels and tea-and-coffee making facilities. Mosquito nets could be provided if needed. Free Wi-Fi and free private parking is available on site. Guests at Olienhoff Guesthouse will be able to enjoy activities like hiking, bird watching and sundowners by the boma fire pit.
Olienhoff Guesthouse is a small family owned business. We are very passionate and proud owners of the guesthouse and we regard ourselves as friendly and tend to our guests personally. We love nature and most of all the beautiful trees and abundant bird life. Our main priority is to provide comfortable and affordable services for overnight night tourists and business people looking for a comfortable and quick stay. We provide Wi-Fi, comfortable and clean rooms with a good healthy breakfast to start the day. Our property is in a safe and quiet area, just 2km from Otavi for shopping. It is a 20-minute walk away from a filling station which has a shop with basic goods to buy and a 25-minute walk to a local grocery store.
