Visit us for a journey to discover the natural health that lies within you.

The Hydro has developed programmes that are specially designed to assist nature in rejuvenating these vital forces. In line with this, our simple philosophy is to ensure our guests unwind totally. By following the recommended programme, the stresses imposed by modern living simply melt away.

Your programme on a typical day may include a massage, Hydrotherapy, progressive relaxation, yoga, guided walks and water aerobics. You are also encouraged to attend the instructive lectures on diet, exercise and natural healing.

Naturally we place great emphasis on correct food and nutrition. A selection of seasonal fresh fruits and salads are inventively prepared using only the finest ingredients. Although no meat is consumed on the premises, you will be amazed by the tasty array of fruit and salad dishes prepared for your enjoyment.

The Hydro does not recommend a frantic exercise schedule. At The Hydro our qualified fitness team offers professional advice and personal guidance in the use of the in-house equipment and facilities. You can also book a personalised appointment with the fitness Instructor to help you formulate a personal health and fitness plan.

The Hydro has 5 basic principles:

  •   Diet to cleanse
  • Treatments to rejuvenate
  • Exercise
  • Relaxation
  • Lifestyle motivation

Naturally great emphasis is placed on diet - cleansing the system and giving the body a respite from modern living. Guests, guided by their personal consultant, are able to select their choice of either the balanced or elimination detoxification diet. Both diets emphasise fresh fruit and a varied selection of mainly raw vegetables and salads.

The Hydro at Stellenbosch, also known as the High Rustenberg Health Hydro, was founded by Cleto Saporetti in 1972. The original Building comprised fourteen rooms and a staff of 25 under the supervision of Saporetti's co-visionary, Dr Boris Chaitow, who himself administered the chiropractic treatments.
