Stress-Detox and Wellness Retreats

What

Option 1- Intensive wellness retreat

This specialised executive package is an intensive 4 day – 4 night treatment for those requiring an immediate sense of relief and some sustained rest and rejuvenation. This is our recommended package for those in need of immediate stress detox and health management.

Option 2 – Sustained wellness retreat

This alternate executive wellness package is available for those who would prefer a less intensive and more sustained intervention. This is a 2 day – 2 night treatment followed by 4 x half day maintenance support treatments spread over a 4 to 6 month period.

Why

We understand that you need to perform optimally in today’s fast moving ever changing work place while managing high levels of stress, fatigue, performance pressure and the competing demands of the workplace and everyday life.

We often dismiss our own self care and health maintenance until we reach a place of overwhelm and exhaustion/burnout. This will impact negatively on work, health, important relationships and your capacity to be present and engage with your partners, children, colleagues and friends.

Our professional intervention is grounded in current research and based on an integrative biopsychosocial approach that attends to your unique well-being. You will leave the Retreat with skills that will help you manage your physiological and psychological stress response, a greater insight into your individual coping patterns, options for ongoing health management and a replenished sense of optimism.

On arrival, I am greeted by the Management and Staff of the Oxford Health Retreat with such warmth, which felt like I was home away from home. The magnificent smells of log fires and the most beautiful finishes. Rolling lawns, magnificent organic healthy food, accommodation stately yet relaxed, with every detail covered for feeling utterly and completely spoilt, with every luxury imaginable. A sanctuary that feels like I was on an Island far away from the fast pace of Johannesburg. This Retreat focuses on all your senses.  It has been carefully set out by the Oxford Healthcare team, who I…Read more →

Dennis and I just wanted to thank you for the most wonderful weekend. Your care and attention made it so special. The massage was the honestly the very best I have ever had and as I “boasted” to you, I have had massages in so many spa’s in so many countries and they can all learn from you! Ntombi was just great and the breakfast muesli memorable! We can’t wait to return!

My husband and I spent a night at Oxford Healthcare Retreat. What an amazing find this place is! We loved everything about it. The location is extraordinary!

The retreat is decorated in a harmonious style. Our luxurious bedroom was spacious and like the rest of the retreat, beautifully furnished. The open log fires added a special dimension to our stay. The staff were warm and welcoming,…Read more →

I feel very privileged to have experienced a day at your wellness health retreat in Melrose North. On arrival I literally felt the unwinding begin in the clam tranquil space. Your decor is tastefully done and easy to be in. I was fortunate enough to experience a full day from the morning yoga to my afternoon relax in the music room. Yoga was perfect for me as a self-conscious person, the instructor was gentle and the class was small.  The food was very delicious and because the food was presented in the buffet type setting, it was easy for me…Read more →

Oxford Healthcare Retreat is a very special place!  An English country style house sanctuary for body, mind and soul. We were welcomed and cared for from the moment we arrived.  All the staff were friendly, helpful and competent in each of their fields. Nothing was too much for them. Our bedroom and bathroom were spacious, elegant and comfortable. The food was healthy and delicious. Lying in the warmed water of the flotation pool listening to classical music after a detoxing sauna was simply heaven! Our yoga session, on a winter’s afternoon, was in an elegant room in front of a real…Read more →

What an exceptional time I spent at Oxford Healthcare Retreat. Not only did I have everything I needed in my room, the staff were attentive and non-intrusive. The food was an absolute treat and the treatments I received were outstanding. What a pleasure this venue was. I will definitely be taking advantage again. Worth every minute!
