Guest Experiences
“My recent stay at Ayurveda Village in Verdun was the best 5 star revive program that I could of attended. The detox services given daily and the food was the ultimate experience for my mind, body and soul. The caring staff from management to therapists were empathic and very caring to me and the delivery of daily services on point. I felt very safe knowing that Dr Shweta was there to for support. Cleaness of the entire building top class and the gorgeous gardens filled with an abundance of wildlife just added a sense of serenity.”
“Mediation, delicious Vegetarian meals & beautiful accommodation. Kangaroos, Bunnies, Kookaburras, Blue Wrens, Rosellas & Crows visited the gardens which included a beautiful Labyrinth, a Paramagnetic Tower and other gardens had beautiful trees & flowers. Do yourself a favour & book in to re-set, relax & rejuvenate, it's one of the best things I have done for myself. #selfcare”
“I just wanted to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Ayurveda Village team for such a special retreat on Saturday. From the moment I stepped through the door, it felt as if a gentle bliss had swept over me. Katina our host was most gracious and welcoming, her kind and knowledgeable team took great care of us and were so open with their responses. I could not believe how well we were looked after. Everything felt well organised, full of mindful activities and information but in no way rushed. I thought things couldn't get much better as we sat down to our delicious and generous lunch, but to be given tea and dinner to take with us, it really was something special. Returning home, I walked into the usual hustle and bustle of family life, but as I slowly sipped my spiced tea, that quiet bliss came over me again. There is so much to be grateful for. Thanks to you all.”
“My visit to Ayurveda Village was wonderful. The premises is calm and serene, and very clean and comfortable. Staff were wonderful and I was blown away by treatments.”
“Thank you to the amazing, highly qualified, and professional staff at Ayurveda Village and the receptionist that helped with my booking. I had the most relaxing and beautiful day in such a lovely location.”
“I found my one-day retreat at Ayurveda Village to be exceptional and calming, with wonderful staff in an idyllic setting. My body needed rejuvenation during my busy life. I will definitely come back again. Thank you.”
