Guest Reviews

THIERRY (10/5): EXCEPTIONNEL / MAGIQUE - Absolument TOUT. C'est un endroit magique servit par un personnel aux petits soins. Tout est beau, convivial et relaxant. BRAVOOO A tester absolument : la piscine de relaxation Je cherche encore et je n'ai pas trouvé
Janet (10/5): A lovely way to spend a 2 day stopover. - Clean and comfortable with plenty of things to do to fill the time. Lovely food Nothing
Monica (10/5): -
bertha (10/5): - Todo estuvo espectacular!
Katharina (10/5): 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. Honestly, there was nothing to complain about. Everything was very well organized, clean, and of high quality.
Mike (10/5): Warmth and Luxury holiday, very relaxing. - Delicious and homely N/A
Daniel (10/5): Aussergewöhnliche Unterkunft - Wunderschöne Anlage, sehr familiär, sämtliche Gastgeber sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Keine negativ aufgefallenen Bereiche.
Roberta (8/5): Great stay, amazing staff and house, would definitely stay again. - Staff were very welcoming, friendly and hospitable. The house was beautiful and the food was great.
Lomazzi (10/5): Amazing - Struttura super raffinata. Curata in ogni minimo dettaglio. Personale gentile e disponibile. Luogo tranquillo ma vicino a Melrose place e a strutture di alto livello turistico. Luogo indicato per persone che amano la pace. Prego i buzzurri di cercare altre strutture. Questa struttura non fa per loro Nulla
MWK (8/5): Fabulous folks. - I loved the facility but especially all the staff and treatment therapist I liked everything.
Lelo Mkhize (10/5): 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 Larger options for massage treatments and maybe adding a welcomig experience to explain to guests the value of the space. There is so much potentail at this space but there is truly no real dislikes
Wesley (8/5): -
louise (10/5): Beautiful, peaceful and friendly staff - A little oasis in the middle of Johannesburg. Peaceful and beautiful garden. Lovely rooms Nothing
Jnay (10/5): 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. There’s no central air but the staff provided a fan that blew like an ac, plus we opened the windows and it was cool enough to keep us comfortable.
Tumisang (10/5): -
Richard (10/5): If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay in Johannesburg, this is your place! - This is a beautiful and exceptional place for relaxation and rejuvenation, with an equally exceptional staff. The location is safe, private and conveniently located near the Melrose Arch shops and restaurants.
Ishmael (10/5): - Everything about the facility is just perfect!
Patience (10/5): -
Siyasanga (10/5): Rejuvenating, relaxing and restful stay. My cup is full again, i feel lighter and my skin is glowing! Thank you to the t - relaxing, serene and quiet. The food was amazing!!From breakfast to supper- made with love, healthy and fresh! The check out time is late not your usual early check out. The staff is very helpful and friendly. If you want time to unwind and recharge - this is your spot! The facilities were also of good quality and helpful. It’s also very safe. Nothing to add, i really could not find any fault
Patience (10/5): -
Lesley (10/5): We would love to stay here again ! - We so enjoyed our stay here , the staff are wonderful, and they cooked us a delicious breakfast with such care !

And wow it's definitely a retreat you even get a daily schedule with all activities you will do in the day. The garden is so beautiful and peaceful. There was nothing not to like. All was good.
Riki (10/5): - This property is exquisitely designed and immaculately maintained. The staff are warm, friendly, and attentive. They offer three meals a day, each beautifully presented and delicious. The indoor saltwater pool is a must-try; you can float in the water while enjoying soothing music from the pool itself. The room is spacious, comfortable, and cozy. A special thanks to Naomi, who made me feel right at home with her exceptional attention to detail and care for guests. I will undoubtedly return to this place on my next trip to Johannesburg. Thank you, Naomi, and the entire wonderful team!
Angelique (10/5): Elegance Personified - Everything about this is exceptional. I've stayed at world-class resorts, and although this isn't listed as such, it most certainly qualifies. Quiet luxury, supple bedding, idyllic views, memorable meals and a team that made me feel simultaeously awed, welcomed home, and that my dream life is now. Allow ample time to enjoy the many and varied amenities ... and yourself.
Julessa (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place, gorgeous large rooms with well appointed bathrooms. The most friendly staff who were so willing to help.

Everything was perfect!
Samantha (10/5): Blissful, relaxing and absolutely what myself and my husband needed. - The location is beautiful. Like a little piece of heaven.

Shane (10/5): Exceptional - A real gem, a great pity we were working as we have loved to have spent more time enjoying the space and facilities. The management were amazing, allowed for an early check in with a room upgrade. The small touches made it perfect.
Zinhle (10/5): Relaxing and rejuvenating - Food and treatments Nothing
Nozuko (9/5): Superb - The staff level of care and attentiveness to one's needs is exceptional. Lack of air-conditioner in the room given the Gauteng heat.
Jacqui (10/5): A peaceful haven with great service - The gardens and the peace were beautiful. Impossible to believe we were inside a city. The service was fabulous and the home cooked meals wonderful.
Bhekithemba (9/5): Superb -

Camngca (9/5): Superb -
Joaquim (9/5): Superb -
Myrna (10/5): A home away from home. - The service was outstanding, the staff friendly and efficient. The meals excellent and catered to my special needs perfectly. There was nothing to dislike, a pity my stay could not be extended because of personal family requests and duties.
Ms (7/5): Great escape from the city buzz. - Room was comfortable, staff very friendly and food good. Facilities advertised either not available or not working.
Cole (9/5): 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. I liked everything.
Anelisa (9/5): Superb -
Mmaboshadi (10/5): 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. The establishment is mostly wooden floors and the walls are thin, so, whether it's people talking downstairs, or it's music playing in another guest's room, sound travels easily, which can be disturbing when you're trying to sleep. Another thing is, if your room is close to the landing area upstairs, the scent of cooked food travels from the kitchen right up to your room so that too can be a disturbance.
Lelo (10/5): Exceptional -
Ausie (10/5): 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. nothing.
