One of the best places to choose if you need to relax and rejuvenate. From the minute you drive in you can feel the tranquility and peace. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated and have the comfiest beds.
Therapists are wonderful and the treatments are all fabulous. The Brookdale Bliss is one of the best massages I've had.
The Chef is always attentive and food is delicious and healthy, we so enjoyed all the meals.
The arranged walks are great and you need not be an athlete to do them.
Pool / sauna and steam room, as well as a jacuzzi are in the Hydro area.
Had an amazing stay and will most certainly be back.

When I arrived at Brookdale Health Hydro, I had no idea just how life-changing my experience would be. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and kindness by the friendly staff, who went out of their way to make sure that all my needs were met. When it came to the food, let me just say that the Chef is a true artist! Every bite was a burst of flavor and a celebration of the senses. As for the body massages, they were pure bliss. But what made this retreat truly special was the personalized attention and care that I received from the staff. I will definitely be back.

Thank you Tony, Wendy, Tamara and Johann you have crafted a special place.

My 3rd trip and…it’s official…Brookdale is my happy place😊. This place is amazing in all kinda ways. The food, the people, the quality of the treatments, and I swear they only hire you if you’re an angel…how else do you explain the warmth and the love and the decency of everyone on these premises…did I mention the food😜. Just go…I can write you a letter and sign it, you will be so damn happy…guaranteed. I love Brookdale and Brookdale loves me back…always

Every apsect of our stay was extraordinary, from the service, to the spa treatments, food options and our divine suite. The spa is located in a breathtaking natural environment, my husband and I felt at home and extremely comfortable from the moment we arrived. Every guest is treated with compassion and it is evident that the staff are focused on ensuring that guests have the very best of times.
Truly a fantastic place for a romantic wedding anniversary. We enjoyed our stay loads!

I had a wonderful 3 night repeat annual visit to Brookdale, as many of the guests do. It is a Health Spa so you can expect nutritious, balanced and healthy meals, prepared according to the Nutrifit programme. The ambience of Brookdale is calm and peaceful , no cellphones allowed in certain areas, so be prepared for a digital detox which is good for mental health and stress levels. The highlight for me is always the wonderful spa treatments. All the therapists are well trained experts! Lovely staff, wonderful stay.

Treatments were amazing. Communication and service between staff is poor. Racial discrimination was apparent.
Before I booked I specified strictly halaal And I was almost served chicken with no consideration and was abruptly told by the kitchen staff that it’s was not halaal and she had nothing else for me except a small quiche.
My request for fish was denied.
Young Lady at reception and one of the therapist were extremely unhelpful regarding booking of treatments.
I had to find my way around and sort out booking with Melisha who was the only person that was very helpful. While I was told to leave at a specific time others of a specific race were told to take their time. I was repeatedly reminded of the check out time.
To date their is no repose to their unwelcoming behaviour .
Overall it’s a very tranquil place.

The setting is wonderful, the rooms and comforts are catered for to every expectation, and more. The staff and owners go out of the way to make you feel good. Their food is fresh, delicious and you at no moment feel in need of further sustenance. All the facilities are well kept and cater to all needs. The specialist talks and specialists themselves are very professional. For a rest, detox and pamper this is the best place you could find.

Brookdale Health Hydro exceeded all our expectations! In just 3 days we felt rejuvenated and energized. After all the pressure experienced since COVID we could let all the anxiety go in the care of experts. Yoga, Pilates, Aqua Classes, exquisite treatments and the beautifully prepared balanced Meals allowed us to only focus on totally relaxing. We sure needed this! Thank you especially to Tamara, Wendy, Elena and Siya for your care. You provided the perfect space for us to be in the moment and for body and mind to Heal. You also made my Birthday extra memorable. Brookdale is a place like no other. Thank you! Thank you!

Have just spent 3 days at Brookdale, and my friend and I agree that we have not come across hospitality of this calibre anywhere else. It seems that at Brookdale they have found a way to take hospitality to a new level: this is about the way in which they speak to you, notice small details, enquire two days later about something that mattered to you. And keep on remembering, it's not just a "well, it's now sorted, done and dusted".

The accommodation, hydro facilities, and spa facilities are beautiful. Everything is surrounded by the green of Midlands beauty, and to top it all, one can spend some contemplative time at the beautiful stream that runs through their property.

The food is absolutely superb, gourmet health food at its best.

The range of offerings of spa treatments is quite huge, so if you come for only a short time, it would be hard to choose, what a pleasure.

All in all a wonderful stay, will be back.

Superb! Therapists were really good and the morning walks in the beautiful surrounds was a welcome start to the day. We stayed in the suites which has it's own jacuzzi bath and a lovely outside balcony that overlooked the 'forest' area. Well worth the additional room cost.
