“A Treat Every Time”

Hands on Retreat has become one of my favourite locations, I was also unaware that a place of this uniqueness existed in JHB.

“Great little place!”

Reviewed 4 February 2013

Quaint little 'rustic' place in the heart of the city. The service was 5-star and the staff bent backwards to accommodate us, especially Karin. Great massages & treatments! We had a wonderful time and would recommend to all.

Planning my trip at the last minute was rather stressful but once we arrived at Hands on Retreat I immediately felt relaxed and at peace.

I booked the room on very short notice, and was very happy they could help me, as I would not have been able to make use of the groupon voucher otherwise. I... More

We had a very nice experience at Hands On Retreat from a groupon that I bought for my girlfriend's birthday. Karin was extremely friendly and very helpful, and the staff that performed the treatments were the same. The evening's dinner was brought to our room and was worth every cent.
