Freshness on Your Plate

We believe in promoting healthy eating practices from the ground up. Our commitment to fostering a culture of wellness extends beyond the confines of our kitchen to The Hydro produce garden.

Here, we cultivate a vibrant assortment of vegetables, herbs, spices and flowers, creating a living classroom for our guests to explore and learn from. By immersing themselves in this hands-on experience, our guests gain a deeper understanding of the connection between the food they consume, their overall health and the well-being of the ecosystem.

Our holistic approach inspires appreciation for oneself and the planet.

What's Good for You

From the Hydro’s beginning, we have understood that food has healing properties beyond just providing nourishment. Each bite we take could potentially be a form of medicine, supplying our bodies with essential nutrients that can benefit various bodily functions.

Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, nutrient-rich foods have the ability to decrease inflammation, enhance the immune system and potentially lower the chances of developing chronic illnesses.

 

By embracing the concept of food as medicine, we nourish our bodies and improve our health, vitality and longevity.

 

Seasonal Freshness

Freshness plays a key role in maximising the nutritional benefits of whole foods. When we consume fruits and vegetables that are in season, we enjoy their peak flavour, reap optimum vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

The vibrant colours and fragrant aromas of seasonal produce are a testament to their nutrient density and medicinal value.

Eating a variety of in-season whole foods allows us to nourish our bodies with a diverse array of nutrients that support our immune systems, promote healthy digestion, and protect us against chronic diseases.

Our Origins

The Hydro was founded by Cleto Saporetti in 1972 on High Rustenberg farm as a Natural Healing resort based on the ‘Nature Cure’ philosophy, emphasizing self-healing in the right environment.Boris Chaitow implemented a strict regime, including controlled fasting and a mainly raw vegetarian foods diet. Guests received daily massages, hydrotherapy, and osteopathic manipulation, along with exercise and relaxation.

They left feeling lighter, energized and revitalized.

The Hydro attracted guests from South Africa and Europe, who often booked in advance to be with their friends. Returning guests felt like part of the family, showing that some things at The Hydro have never changed.

Soothe Your Soul

At The Hydro, we know that good health leads to increased energy and vitality. It allows you to fully engage with your life and pursue your passions, leading to a more fulfilling existence.

Good health improves your ability to connect with others and form meaningful relationships, fostering positive interactions that enhance your sense of belonging.

With wellness comes a greater appreciation for life’s blessings, promoting gratitude and mindfulness.

Being healthy allows you to savour each experience and find joy in simple pleasures, providing contentment and harmony.

This holistic level of wellness is the ultimate achievement for mind, body and soul.

Put Your Mind At Rest

The prevalence of stress-related health challenges continues to rise at an alarming rate. In today’s fast-paced society, it is evident that mental well-being is not only essential for individual health and happiness, but crucial for building resilience and creating thriving, compassionate communities.

At The Hydro, we offer a range of effective programmes and treatments to address mental stress and fatigue.

Our approach focuses on promoting overall mental wellness and equipping you with the tools you need to manage stress effectively and achieve a balanced and fulfilling life.

 

Re-Calibrate Your Body

At The Hydro, we know that a healthy body thrives on a harmonious balance of stress management, nutrition and exercise. We believe that this holistic approach to wellness is key to achieving optimal health and vitality.

Our team offers a variety of treatments and therapies to nourish your body and mind, along with nutrient-rich meals. We provide indoor and outdoor exercise facilities, including yoga, Pilates, swimming, and hiking, to help you maintain an active lifestyle. Engaging in physical activities can boost your energy levels, improve your mood and enhance your overall well-being.

Practice Mindfulness

Rooted in ancient meditation techniques, Mindfulness has evolved into a transformative mental practice that invites you to slow down, embrace the present moment with open-hearted awareness and free yourself from judgment and distractions. This process serves as a powerful tool for you to cultivates mental clarity, emotional balance, nurture inner peace and enhance your quality of life.

Our unique location at The Hydro naturally facilitates a natural quieting of the mind, reducing stress, increasing focus and promoting self-awareness.

We offer various scheduled workshops and sessions for experiencing Mindfulness first-hand, including Guided Meditation and Mindfulness classes.
