"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.

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.

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.

French architecture setting that is a must when in Johannesburg

The space was amazing! We stayed in the villa, and Niomi was wonderful; she really goes the extra mile. I highly recommend opting for the full board meals, as they are more than sufficient. The villa is spacious, and if you are looking to disconnect from screens and truly connect with someone, I suggest you book now. You will not regret it! This is the best place around Sandton and Melrose to recharge and refeul

We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back next year

The property is well maintained and extremely clean. It’s comfortable and rooms are nice and spacious. They are located close to everything. Malls are within a 15 minute drive or less based on traffic. Close to the airport and they will connect you with transportation services that will get you anywhere safely.

This Retreat is AMAZING!!! Treat yourself and kick back and relax!!! They’ll take great care of you!!!

From the time we booked until the time we checked in Naomi and her team Tok all of our worries and stress away. They provide contacts to provide transportation to and from the airport (at a cost) but prices are reasonable. They are close to everything, malls (10-15 minutes away), safaris (3 hour drive) but well worth it! The zoo (15-20 minutes away) great experience for sight seeing chasers, The Mandela house 30-40 minutes away again a great experience for first time visitors. They have an onsite Chef (2 to be exact). Two pools, one outdoor, one indoor. A sauna and a separate Villa if you want exclusivity. The staff cleans your room twice a day. There’s water in your fridge and they refill it as needed. They iron your clothes so no need for an iron in your room. The bathroom has a large shower (great water pressure and warm water) an antique tub in the bathroom too. The services they offer are well worth the visit so take advantage of this retreat. They even offered to clean our luggage…WOW!! I’ve stayed at 5 star hotels and have never been offered this!! So in my opinion this retreat is a 10 star in my book! The massages are done on sight and they take great care for your body and needs. I can’t say enough about this place as they are like family to us now. The area is secure and walking distance from some luxury car dealers like Aston Martin, McLaren, Bentley and Rolls Royce. It reminded me of Los Angeles as the area is called Mel Rose. They area has security and many of the neighbors have security booths manned 24/7 which gave us comfort since it was our first time to South Africa. Thank you Naomi and your team for making this trip one of a lifetime! We will be back soon to visit and see all of your smiling faces. The food is delicious and prepared three times a day. Your dietary needs are important to them and they make each person a meal for them regardless of the number of guests. This is not they make the same food with multiple options….this is Al à cartè. You order something, I order something else and they make it. I’ve eaten more stuff I’ve never eaten before and was extremely happy and wanted more. The chef won’t tell you what she’s making you but I couldn’t wait to see and eat it! Naomi we can’t thank you and your team enough! You made my 50th a memorable experience and I can’t wait to see you all again soon!!

Oxford Healthcare Retreat

My stay at the Oxford Healthcare Retreat exceeded all my expectations. The quiet and peaceful environment was lovely, it did not feel as if I was in the city. All the staff members were so kind and helpful. The treatments I opted for were arranged and booked on my behalf. And lastly, the room where I stayed was beautiful, overlooking the garden. I can strongly recommend the Oxford Healthcare Retreat to anybody who needs rest, pampering and healthy food.

Because clarity often returns when you step away, not when you push harder 🍃  A retreat is not an indulgence, it is a reset. It is space to breathe deeply, sleep properly, reflect honestly and reconnect with what truly matters. Time away allows the body to soften, the mind to settle and perspective to return 🌱  At Oxford Healthcare Retreat, we create an environment where restoration is intentional and sustainable, supporting both mental and physical well-being .
