"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.

Feedback of our stay at Retreat
Both my and my daughter's experience was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay, the treatments, the food and the kind hospitality.
Excellent Retreat - Exceptional Staff and Cleanliness
Beautiful retreat in the heart of Johannesburg. We spent an evening celebrating my birthday. We were welcomed with open arms and very friendly staff. The rooms are stunning, and spacious. The cleanliness of this property is exceptional and well managed. The food was tasty, and the massage treatments of the highest quality. We will definitely be back in 2025.
An oasis for rest and recuperation
This is a place where you can seamlessly combine work and relaxation. The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The outdoor heated pool, serene beauty massage facilities, calming sauna, and excellent restaurant service leave a lasting impression. I look forward to visiting again.
Beyond Expectations
Pristine. Elegant. Well-appointed. Delicious, customized meals. Quiet, peaceful. Glorious gardens. Total pleasure!
It was a home away from home. Secured & private. The staff is absolutely amazing, so caring, friendly and profession
Quite and peaceful
Absolutely stunning place to recuperate. My husband gifted me with a night here, by myself, after we had a baby. It was total relaxation. The massages, pedi, yoga, floatation pool... incredible. And the staff was fantastic. I had everything I needed to have the most luxurious, comfortable night ever.
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, eternally grateful 😊
Great overnight retreat and wellness experience.
What a perfect retreat in the middle of Johannesburg. I needed a space to be alone to think and write following a painful loss. The room was warm, plush and the huge fireplace a great comfort. I also spent some time in the wonderful floatation pool, and with the gorgeous view of treetops and sky. On Sat I enjoyed an exceptional facial with Bev But saving the best for last was the delicious food that felt like it was home cooked. Highly recommend this wonderful hidden in the treasure.
A home away from home
The service was outstanding, the staff friendly and efficient. The meals excellent and catered to my special needs perfectly.
Great escape from the city buzz
Room was comfortable, staff very friendly and food good.
Karen, Retreat Manager, was very helpful. Staff especially the chef , Josephine, were all so friendly and accommodating of special requirements. Therapists very knowledgeable and professional. Lovely to know that you can also pop in for certain sessions/classes such as yoga and qigong. The venue is centrally located in an oasis of calm. Gardens well kept and rooms clean with a very tranquil atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely stay!
The best stay I’ve had in a very long time
Gorgeous space, delicious and healthy food, spa treatments, holistic health consciousness, warm and inviting staff, beautiful surroundings— it really was an unexpected little paradise.
Right in the Heart of The City Melrose lives a place so supreme so magical called Oxford Healthcare retreat. Everything here is clean crisp and calm. From the welcoming staff to the beauty of the place . The healthy food and green juices it’s all part of the REST A must when you need to take a break for self. away from the city yet still right in the city , the floatation tank at night is a must, make sure to not get that water in your eyes . The trees the ambiance was just what I needed I’ll be back for more adventures !!! Thank you for creating this Gem of a Jewel
A real relaxing treat and escape
The friendly and supportive staff. The food is freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! Unlimited access to the flotation pool and sauna is priceless! The garden that is beautifully kept, made for a relaxing and therapeutic experience. The yoga room and the pool, just great! The fact that they have spa treatment rooms! Oxford Healthcare Retreat Centre is truly a place to come relax, heal and restore. It's perfect for anyone wishing to escape! I felt so blessed.
it was heavenly
Beautiful modern decor. It is so peaceful, right in Melrose. Amazing staff who cater to your every need. I was spoilt with Banting delicious treats and deserts. Very relaxing, the flotation pool and sauna included in the package were a dream. The yoga was so calming.
The home that is better than your own home. From start to finish, the details, care and space is a dream for anyone who is looking for break from the hustle and bustle of life. Every day had something for you to do, or nothing - depending on what type of getaway or rest you need. My fave part (I'm a foodie) is the meals. The perfect portions, that are filling and beautifully presented. I would definitely hurry back as I miss everyone and the care that they showed
