"The Most Glorious Place to Recharge" – PJ Powers on Oxford Healthcare Retreat
The Oxford Healthcare Retreat is the most glorious place to de-stress and recharge your batteries. It’s unique in that it offers talk therapy, nutritional guidance as well as the regular spa therapies. The floatation therapy is amazing, reflexology and massage too – one could really fill your time here or choose to be really quiet and just be.

Reviews
A stunning retreat – the perfect end to our safari! Oxford Heath Retreat is a real hidden gem. The house and décor are beautiful, but the it's the grounds that will take your breath away. The staff are warm, friendly and incredibly attentive. The chef is fantastic, serving delicious food. We were in Johannesburg in transit for one night, so instead of staying at the overpriced and dated airport hotel, we decided to stay here and honestly considered changing our flights to stay longer. A truly special place and the perfect way to end our holiday. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
Such a special place with beautiful gardens. The staff are incredible.
The grounds are beautiful. The staff are all very accommodating. The food is delicious. The floatation pool and steam were great. We’d highly recommend Oxford guest house to stay.
I enjoyed my stay at Oxford. Great facilities and amazing staff.
Perfect place to stopover and recover from long flights.
Lovely safe accommodation with good healthy food and treatments and classes available with rebooking. Great place for a stopover to recharge batteries.
A lovely way to spend a 2 day stopover
Clean and comfortable with plenty of things to do to fill the time. Lovely food
A beautiful and relaxing stay with excellent food, great facilities, and outstanding cleanliness
The stay was absolutely wonderful. The food was excellent and really stood out throughout our visit. We also loved the additional facilities like the pool, the saltwater hot pool, and the steam room – these made the experience feel extra special. Everything was exceptionally clean and very well maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.
Warmth and Luxury holiday, very relaxing
Delicious and homely
I had a wonderful stay for four nights. The treatments were excellent, and now I feel healthy and refreshed. The food was very delicious, and the environment made me very happy because of its peaceful atmosphere. The staff are very caring. Truly, the Oxford Healthcare Retreat team is wonderful and safe.
We an amazingly relaxing stay. Food was delicious. Service was good and the highlight were the various treatments. We left feeling utterly relaxed.
Peace and tranquility
From the moment you walk through the door you can feel the calming energy. The setting is stunning, peace and tranquility. Any stress you are feeling will melt away in moments. The staff are beautiful, very welcoming, kind and you can feel that they love being a part of a retreat that is just bliss. The food was made with love, with consideration as I do not eat meat and there are a few things I can not have. I have been met with smiles and kindness and as this is a birthday celebration, into a new decade this has been a great start. Both myself and my husband have indulged in some treatments whilst we have been here. The aromatherapy massage was a great start to our arrival. The shiatsu journey has helped in many ways both physically and emotionally. The kahuna massage was stunning and relaxing. Today we both had reiki. Just beautiful, I feel now I am aligned and feel a better version of myself. All therapists were professional, knowledgeable and we had such a lovely experience. There is also a floatation pool and a steam room. The garden has been tendered with such love. So if you want luxury, in a beautiful and peaceful space with caring people, I would highly recommend this experience for you.

Emmaculate reception, warm and calm staff. Tranquil atmosphere 24 hours. I managed to sleep and recover from burnout that was physically and psychologically devastating.
Best place to stay in Johannesburg
If you want to make your time memorable while in Johannesburg then you have to stay at the Oxford Healthcare Retreat. This place is a real gem. Truly looking forward to staying there again.
Beautiful and luxurious safe space
A well needed, uncomplicated retreat from the real world. A beautiful and luxurious safe space. Amazing staff and therapists. Divine food. We have been lacking in physical exercise, so some were tough on our bodies, but everyone was compassionate and understanding. Would absolutely recommend Oxford Healthcare Retreat and already have. I just want to say, my deepest gratitude for accommodating us and forgetting the Easter weekend to be here for us.
Gracious hospitality and wonderful care
Thank you for your gracious hospitality and wonderful care during my stay at the Retreat. You all really took care of me. Thank you for the delicious food, the laughs and the warm smiles. Apart from all the planned activities, your care helped me to feel better, both on the inside and out. I am grateful for your help and I am blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at the Retreat.
Special Haven
This has been a special haven I never expected. What with wonderful accommodation, views of the magnificent gardens and big trees. The retreat overfilled my expectations. It is a special haven I would return to with glee. What with five star accommodation and charming staff and the most beautiful gardens. I enjoyed all of the activities and feel they were very beneficial. It has been a perfect, serene place to be. I will return without doubt if I need to and my family will agree. It couldn’t be better.
Exactly what I needed
Oxford Healthcare Retreat was exactly what I needed to help me on the journey to finding myself again.
The Retreat exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing and all of the therapists made my stay incredible. The activities and services were more than enough to keep me occupied and all were worthwhile. I would recommend the Retreat to anyone in a heartbeat.
Peaceful. Looked after. Solitude.
Beautiful house and rooms. The food was always incredible and everyone was warm and helpful. I loved the treatments. The therapy was incredibly helpful and I really enjoyed trying out the yoga and pilates.
A big thank you for holding this needed space.
