Health Retreat Victoria, Melbourne, Australia

Amidst majestic mountains, lofty trees and nestling on the Great Dividing Range is Highwood Health Retreat, 102 acres of beautiful gardens, lawns, forests, mountain-streams and trails of unsurpassed sanctuary for resting, relaxation and restoration.

We are a Natural Health Retreat, dedicated in restoring and maintaining your health. Natural treatments at Highwood Health are used wherever possible. However, guests on medications can relax too as our doctor can monitor and advise on drugs and communicate with your General Practitioner or Specialist when needed. He can also order Medicare billed blood tests to check your vitamins, minerals, cholesterol and other things.

A qualified Australian medical practitioner will consult with you shortly after your arrival at Highwood and will tailor your program to suit your needs. This may include steam sauna, massage, clay wraps, far-infrared therapy, supplements, lymphatic drainage, fever baths, aromatic oil therapy, herbal teas, juice fasting, enema, a special diet, an exercise program, etc. Our doctor is available to discuss your needs or consult with you during your entire stay and is on call in case of emergency. He will carefully monitor your progress during your stay and seek to investigate the causes of any of your ailments that are still poorly understood.
