Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In February, I spoilt myself to the 6-Night Detox Retreat at Harmony Hill, set on a beautiful, tranquil Land for Wildlife property in the scrubby mountainous rainforest of Tasmania ⭐️
Every massage treatment that Whitney gave me was absolutely divine, just magnificent ~ I felt she healed not only my body, but my mind, soul and spirit ⭐️
All the meals were delicious and beautifully presented, with no fake meat but always with side salads, herb garnishes and pretty flowers ⭐️ I was however surprised to discover a dollop of honey in my breakfast fruit jar as the website mentioned "we only serve all-vegan food". Ami, the owner, explained it was ethically-sourced honey and spoke about its health benefits, which I am aware of, but still I was disappointed it was included and I wasn’t warned.
I was also disappointed that my villa wasn’t cleaned regularly. Often I had to request housekeeping services, as well as replacement rolls of toilet paper (except once when Whitney replaced them, after I asked her) and also grab clean, dry towels from the sauna and disabled toilets. I found the wet bathroom floor to be a bit dangerous (twice I slipped in the shower!). I believe a clean room that has “erased” the time before is imperative at a health retreat. I was the only guest (which was a privilege, if not a bit eerie at night) and was told that the cleaner was absent that week, however I still paid the same price as guests who would have received regular housekeeping services and wasn’t offered a partial refund, nor any discount on future stays.
Most disappointing was that the spa jets in my villa spat out black particles, algae, hair and debris. I showed Ami who said it was “fine”. I wasn’t satisfied so told Whitney, who apologised and ran a cleaning solution through the spa. That however didn’t solve the problem. I again told Ami and she again dismissed it. Cleansing in water was a major factor in choosing a health retreat, so I was dismayed that I couldn’t enjoy a spa.
After I returned home, I emailed Ami about all this - she didn’t respond.
All in all, these factors unfortunately overrode the good aspects of this retreat.

Ami and her team go above and beyond to provide a safe, healing space. The accomodation is incredible, the highlight being the spa! The food is prepared lovingly and is plentiful. The treatments are a highlight, with a skilled practitioner delivering personalised therapies, each building on the last. Leaving feeling clearer, lighter and ready to continue to healthy habits.

It was so lovely meeting you and enjoying all the amazing treatments you offer.
I especially want to say thank you for the Shiatsu massage. I was free from back pain for a whole 1 week.
Thank you

I attended for a six-night detox. It enabled me to recharge especially where my diet was concerned. Ami was an amazing host with the vegetarian food provided absolutely delicious and very filling. Ami was very knowledgeable on herbal and plant medicinal qualities with many many years of study.
Whitney’s massages and treatments were so relaxing, everything was thoughtfully prepared, twigged and customised to my own personal needs. There are only two separate accommodation apartments (mountain and water apartments) so it’s very peaceful with undivided attention. Really enjoyed my stay there and in particular, my health and body thanks you.
Thank you so much for everything Ami & Whitney.

The services were bad- I was ignored on the table more than once. Very expensive treatments that were very poorly done!!! I feel ripped off. The grounds and idea of the place are nice- but they need to step up the services. Charged the most and gave the minimum.

When I came I feel really tired and stressed after a busy year. Their focus on me was amazing to get me feeling better. Ami seems to get to the knots and bolts of what I needed and what would help me to get better. The therapies and massages are really amazing, I feel like a hundred percent better than when I came. The hard part is gonna be maintaining it. I've been to a couple of retreats before but they are not as focused on the individual. Here I feel I got more individual treatment and what worked for me.

Fantastic place to reconnect with yourself and heal. I loved my stay here. Both Ami and Dr. Laya were amazing - very nurturing and knowledgeable and made sure I was comfortable. This retreat addresses your whole being.

I hate posting negative review but I don't want other people to be deceived by this woman. My boyfriend booked a package experience for my birthday at this place and I had a terrible experience. When I arrived the lady asked to get changed to get into the sauna then I said it would not be possible because to get into a sauna you need to have your body and hair wet, anyway I just asked to skip that part as I wasn't comfortable to get into the sauna with my hair dried.When I got into the change room I was shocked to see that the disposable underwear that was available for the to wear was dirty from dust and for my feet there were two options a pair of dirty slippers or a old green thongs and to make things even worst the robe was humid and smelly. this things ruined my mood and I got very disappointed with these encounters however hold it inside as I didn't want to disappoint my boyfriend.When I got to the massage room and laid down in bed and it was also smelly and the thought of being there for 2 hours really made me anxious and from that point I could not hold my disappointment anymore and asked to reduce the time and refund my boyfriend half of the money as he paid $290 for nothing and she didn't refund him, in fact she was very disrespectful and literally kicked us out of the spa. I left there crying as I have never had such a terrible experience in my life!!! Sadly, I don't recommend this place at all.
