Iris Retreat

Discovered this gem of a place in harties. From the get go as you drive through the gate your experience starts. From a super friendly greeting by the staff to welcome night caps by the fire to completely quiet felt like we were miles and miles away from anyone or anything, to a spa day by the river the next morning. We had complete privacy.I felt like i could exhale. Iris retreat was exactly what i needed.Would do it every weekend. What an experience.Loved it.

Iris Retreat Spa is just lovely. Beautiful setting for the spa, and the therapists are professional and experienced. Will definitely come back for a spa package!

Christine and her team were absolutely amazing. They unfortunately had flood damage the day before we arrived, but she upgraded our room, made a plan for our spa treatments and really went above and beyond to make our stay amazing through the difficulties they were experiencing. I highly recommend supporting this establishment, apart from the great service, the place is so peaceful and beautiful.

Such a beautiful place and a hidden gem to most. We were there for a full day spa package and had an amazing experience. The spa treatments were done next to the river and it was so serene and calming. The beauticians were so attentive to our needs and the treatments we received from them were perfect. We felt so relaxed. The food was also delicious. Will definitely return soon.

Great getaway, it is mind refreshing place. Me and my partner had a fantastic time with. Our bedroom was so romantic and they egyptian cotton for their linen. The kitchen, has everything, one needs for self catering. The outside shower very nice to explore and life time experience. The deck experience with outside fire was awesome listening to nature and no need for music. The jacuzzi, the pool, the river sounds and the spa treatment by the river was therapeutic. The host and the staff were the best from arrival till we left the place. Relaxed so well and its definately a place to go back to.Anyone who wants to have fun, peace, and to be one with nature I recommend this place for you

Christine and her team made me feel welcome from the moment l got there. The accommodation was far beyond what l had expexted. They made my birthday so special.The retreat is the perfect place to just get away and l will definitely be back. Thank you to the whole team I really enjoyed my stay.

Christine and her team are just phenomenal!! The venue is everything you could ask for.It is the perfect retreat to just get away and unwind.We were so spoilt and well looked after!!Thank you Christine and Team!!

Went there with my sisters for a spa day. What an amazing time we had. The scenery, the sound of the river the wonderful therapists. Beautiful. Definitely worth the drive from joburg

If you love nature untamed, then this is the place to be.Christine and her staff are wonderful people and welcoming.The place recently got flooded and most of the infrastructure is damaged and/or lost. I recommend that they close and renovate the place before taking bookings.I booked for a massage by the river and my expectations were not met.

This must have been a beautiful retreat during it's heyday. The staff are friendly and willing to assist.There is however a large amount of TLC that is needed with attention to detail required. Stepping stones are slippery to the outdoor shower, towels are frayed along the edges, shower floor tiles are loosening and the exit over the bridge is dubious.No spa was available due to the recent flooding that has caused some damage, but we were not informed of this ahead of time.The pool is in a beautiful condition. The staff start the bonfire for you, and a complimentary sherry and chocolate are lovely touches. This has potential to be a special place and I hope that it returns to its previous stature.
