“A Treat Every Time”

Reviewed 11 February 2013

Hands on Retreat has become one of my favourite locations, I was also unaware that a place of this uniqueness existed in JHB. Your senses are the main parts that get treated- Beautifull surroundings, decor, spa treatments, the food. The staff are very hospitable and they are so friendly making them easy to approach. Even the team one only speaks... More

“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.

Reviewed 12 November 2012 via mobile

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 could not believe that a place so tranquil would be in the middle of JHB. It felt like we were in another province and a million miles away from the nearest town. The staff... More

The grounds and rooms are very romantic, and totally unexpected for the middle of Sandton. The room had everything that you would need for a one night stay. 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

“Groupon Voucher for my girlfriend's birthday”

Reviewed 18 October 2012

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. Which wasn't that much, as I believe their pricing is... More

Time and time again, Hands On has proven to be the best place to have an intimate celebration with your loved one, and with the great voucher deals available, its also an absolute steal. We hope to see you again soon and thanks for this great review. More
