“Great Solo Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I have just returned from a 3 day self discovery retreat at Samadhi, and from my experience, if you are looking for a comprehensive journey into the depths of yourself, this retreat will accomplish that and so much more. I learnt some much about myself and my body that will stay with me and whilst my journey has only just began, it certainly gave me the kick start that I was looking for.

The accommodation was first class and very relaxing. It was made to feel comfortable and I felt like is was at home. The food was fantastic, very filling and very generous portions (although I eat like a sparrow!). Wayne and Annah were both fantastic in their individual sessions with me and I felt relaxed, understood and important.

I certainly intend to make a return trip and felt that I got very good value for money. Wayne and Annah allowed me to make the decisions of what I wanted from my stay and I must admit that I had underestimated how powerful each session was. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away and experience peace and pampering at its best.

Thank you to Wayne and Annah for first creating such an experience and secondly for recognising that we are all unique and allowing the freedom to taylor the package specifically for you.

“A transformational experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

It looked like what I needed, after a very challenging year, to recuperate and get refocused, to get my body and mind nourished and reconnected. I couldn't believe the superlatives in the other reviews. After all, I had been to spas in various countries, had great retreats, but never felt transformed. Well, after 4 days at samadhi, I felt transformed, and no superlatives are enough. The setting is beautifully thought through. The food is divine. The 6 alpacas are gorgeous. But I can't find enough adjectives to describe the incredible way that my mind and body were taken apart and out back together in w new way. I didn't realize how much more I needed the help until I got it. I leave feeling centered, with a supple body, and with tools - imageries, mind and body techniques, sounds of bells and chimes - to help me navigate what the next stage of my life might bring. Thank you, Wayne and Annah.

“food for the soul”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

I arrived at Samadhi and burst into tears... I was weary, tired, physically unwell and struggling with a seperation... I left feeling renewed, happy, peaceful and with a whole new perspective on the world and the opportunities available to me... The combination of meditation, beauty treatments, counselling and nurturing food was just what I needed. The privacy and gentle support that I recieved was excellent. I can't begin to describe what a difference with experience has made to me, the environment is peaceful and secluded and the program that was developed for me gave me lots of time for reflection as well as kick starting my metabolism. Wayne and Annah are gracious, supportive and fantastic hosts. I can't begin to thank them enough, I am very grateful for having met them and experiencing this wonderful place.

“Half Day - detox- Worked magic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Earlier in Spring I went looking for the 'perfect' detox retreat ... it was the 10 day meditation retreat in Thailand, however, I couldn't make this work. So I then went looking for a 7 day retreat in Bali and I couldn't make this work either. I never would have thought a half day detox retreat could work the magic that it did....you need more time don't you? How amazing to feel such benefit in only half a day ... and 40 minutes from home!

I highly recommend this 1/2 day detox retreat for those who do feel too busy to fit in anything else, especially if you have the opinion, as I did, that not much can shift in detox terms, in half a day. I was surprised that a long term PMT experience did! Annah's attention to products and her loving attention in such a beautiful space is a very special healing combination. I feel very grateful to have had this experience. Thank-you

Thank you Annah.

“When 5 stars isn’t enough…..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

When your body functions on “Fight or Flight”, your physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted with nothing left to give – Samadhi Spa & Wellness Retreat is the only place to go. I was lucky enough to spend 5 nights at Samadhi Retreat and it has changed my life.
When I arrived at Samadhi, I was completely burnt out and I don’t think anyone in my immediate surroundings really understood, but I knew I needed a sanctuary to me again. I went with an open mind not really knowing what to expect, I just knew I knew I never wanted to feel this way again.
From the moment just walk into Samadhi you realise this is the right decision. The whole retreat is just for you. You are completely cared for, they have thought of everything, right down to the finest details.
Samadhi was just amazing, the facilities, food, service and program is First Class. Wayne & Annah are two of the most beautiful souls you will ever met. My advice is to ring and book NOW; you wont regret it.
