The Hydro

This one from best place to visit in stellenbosch I like it alotYou must try there service and professional work

I surprised my husband for his 40th birthday with a 4 night stay at The Hydro and it was everything I had hoped for and more. All the staff went above and beyond. If you are run down, have a health concern or mental wellness goal then this is the place for you. Their 360 approach to wellness and vitality is everything, from the delicious healthy food, the treatments, the comfort and incredible views; it's the greatest gift you can give to yourself or loved ones. We both left there more rejuvenated than we've felt in years. Thank you Jackie, Mandy, Megan and everyone else for a life changing experience.

Popped in spontaneously for a treatment, and luckily they had an opening. The staff were very warm and welcoming! Absolutely lovely! The facility is absolutely beautiful! I will be a regular for sure :)

I loved my time at the Hydro - lovely staff, fire places, shared lounge and beautiful healing spaces. I did feel however that things were perhaps a bit dated: my room felt like its from the 80s which I was not expecting for the price point I was paying. Food was lovely, but could be slightly elevated - a plain full bowl of oats with no elevation I haven't seen since Koshuis days. I am used to for this price point, a little more glam and luxe as well as better treatments (both mine in the package I was on started late) and also the extra activities seemed dated: yoga that was not yoga but stretching and 2 activities I showed up for did not happen (movie and salad demo). I feel its lacking a little je ne sais quo, but is still a good detox and special time out from life and cooking for sure!

The hydro has made a concerted effort to upgrade areas that needed it, but more than that the staff were amazing - very friendly and accommodating. A beautiful week I spent there with every need catered to among exquisite surroundings. Fabulous food too!

I was a day visitor on Heritage day 24th September 2020 and had an extraordinary experience. I had the In-Body Composition Analysis, Oxygen chamber treatment and full body hot stone massage. I enjoyed it all thoroughly. The health practitioners explained to detail and I really relaxed before indulging in the scrumptious heritage braai lunch prepared outside in the garden where the delicious aromas floated the air. I would have been thrilled had there been some Heritage atmosphere with Jerusalema dancing and music!I would give full five stars to all of the above, apart from one small snag regarding waitressing etiquette. The lady who served me was not polite, forgot to bring cutlery with my starter and clumsily placed my lunch plate in front of me while I was still eating the starter. When I turned around to see if she was bringing the cutlery, I noticed that she was cleaning the table behind me, told me to wait and proceeded to pile all the dirty dishes and glasses on an already full plastic tray which looked very wobbly and bendy. Luckily for her, she did not drop anything and must give merit for her balancing skills.I am writing this, as I feel that such a prestige and top class destination, should have skilled, pleasant looking waiting staff who are the frontline of a guest's experience. When you are greeted by a waiter who looks as if they had just finished with housekeeping cleaning (PS: the uniform needs major revival), it is not a happy site. Furthermore, the waiters need to engage with the guests and not rush the meals - it is all about the experience when eating delicious well plated food. In other words, much training is required for the waiting staff.Apart from that one snag, I had a great relaxing day and would definitely market The Hydro, far and wide, as the destination not to be missed. There is nothing more appealing to the eye than nature's beauty which surrounds this amazing place. Thank you for the opportunity to be spoilt.

I joined a close friend from lunch that day. The lunch was delicious, healthy and filling. Certainly not rabbit food. Selection of wonderful hot prepared tea and water available. The design and interior decorating is first class.. One immediately relaxes. After a full body massage in peaceful, hygenic treatment room - one can relax completely. After the treatment and a casual walk around the tranquil, well kept estate, we had a veggie juice at the outdoor natural swimming pool. What a treat. Lovely informed, well mannered staff.. All made the visit sublime.Go and visit.. It is well worth every minute.

Absolutely stunning haven of tranquility. If it’s peace and restoration you are after, this is the place for a good detox. Note this is not a hotel, but a health spa for people serious about wellness. Food is simply delicious vegetarian, most organically grown on the farm. Also a good place to do juice fasting for a couple of days, or simply eat fruit. The staff are phenomenal, very kind, and also unobtrusive. Leave your phone in your room (or better still, at home), as strictly no devices in public areas - what a joy!! Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful facilities. Delicious lunch.For the price paid I expected a more professional treatment. The treatment did not stand out above other places I have been to.Staff at reception are friendly.

So delighted to discover this hidden Gem, it is a long known escape for those who know how to pamper themselves. The staff are amazing and couldn't do enough to assist with a smile. Wonderful morning brisk walk, followed with a healthy breakfast overlooking a splendid view. The spa therapist are very experienced and knowledgable and I felt confident having them work with me to aid in relaxing and distressing. I will be back soon, only wish I didn't have to leave :-)
