Oxford Healthcare Retreat — Hotel in Gauteng

The concept is great, however the execution lacks certain fundamental qualities one would generally associate with a retreat. After being rushed out of my room prior to the stated check-out time, with no porter service or other assistance having been proffered, I raced down the staircase with my suitcase, with the result that I tripped and fell down the last few stairs. Apparently no one heard the resultant clatter, even though there were at least two staff members in an adjacent room and the “landing ground” was a solid wood floor.

In absolute awe of this fine establishment, the reiki and yoga therapists are so kind and caring, from Naomi to the housekeeping to Josephine are all exceptionally helpful and cater to your every whim and fancy, such beautiful souls who practice kindness, the food was excellent and gut friendly and I’m ever so grateful for Julia for the psychology treatments which aided in pulling me out of despair. Arrived stressed and frazzled and after 5 days feeling far more relaxed and hopeful, the rooms are so beautiful with fresh linen and superbly clean. A heavenly oasis with sauna, flotation therapy, beautiful gardens and so much more, I could go on and on as there are countless amazing things to be said about Oxford Healthcare Retreat. Highly recommend. The epitome of peace, kindness, luxury, and relaxation in the heart of Melrose.Thank you to all for lifting me through a difficult period of my life,...

This was my 3rd solo retreat visit at Oxford Healthcare. It has become my go-to place when I need to rest, find peace and restoration. The expansive rooms, the superb service from the friendly staff, the flotation pool, the self-care activities, the beautiful gardens and the delicious and healthy, freshly prepared meals are what keep me going back. I appreciate the effort and lengths the staff go to make you feel at home, but at the same time make you feel like you're in a luxury hotel. It's absolutely wonderful. Thank you Naomi and Karen, your awesome chefs and the entire team for always welcoming me back with hearty warmth. I'll be coming...
