I’m pleased to review the Banyans. I found my stay both informative and restorative. The coordination between the multi-modal clinical teams was excellent. The targeted, individualised program was really helpful. I look forward to keeping in touch via follow-up over the coming months. I almost forgot to mention that the food and in-house care couldn’t be faulted. Thanks guys.

My Name is Adam Geldard. I attended a comprehensive one on one program at Banyans. Having attended many programs in the past I had little success until now. With each facett explored thoroughly, from nutrition to wellness coaching to phycology, each need for premium good health and wellness was thoughoughly covered. I've now returned to my life and for the first time am looking like success in my day to day life. Big thanks to the Banyans team!!

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at. The accommodation, the building, (the estate) and the pool and surrounding hills were beautiful. A perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. The food cooked mainly by Joel was exceptionally healthy and attractive plus Joel is a lovely kind and thoughtful man. Monika also helped out at times and her food was delicious particularly with her decoration of flowers from the garden. I would like to mention the wonderful staff that cared and showed me such compassion and kindness and more. Ros, Jules, Jess, Karen, Judy, Jill, charlotte, Tiago, Solly, Francis, sam, Brit, another Jess, Megan and LA. Plus my art therapist and music therapist, And Brook and If I have forgotten someone I’m sorry. I have never experienced such warmth and love and will never forget my time at the Banyans. Thankyou to all, Denise Duff

OVERVIEW To say the 6 weeks at The Banyans has been life-changing is an understatement. The Coaches, Practitioners and all other staff have been fantastic. I am extremely grateful to DVA for providing me with the opportunity to work on ME, with the support and guidance of about 50 or so highly trained and experienced staff. From the time I submitted an enquiry form to the day I stepped through the front door at The Estate I felt well-informed and supported. I was communicating with Kiana who was fantastic. PSYCHIATRY PSYCHOLOGY, RECOVERY Absolutely outstanding. Perfect balance of specialties and it is obvious that they work very hard together to ensure wrap-around care is of the highest level possible. Flexible to my needs and desires plus they all have an unbelievable skill in gently encouraging and maneuvering conversations to ensure I could handle some hugely emotional moments with them and when journalling. COACH SUPPORT Not once did any of the coaches display any signs of stress or that anything was too difficult for them. The variety is great (ideas, actions, discussions, not too much familiarity) & having some vast differences in age, education & experience is excellent. Always available or will let you know when they’re finished with someone. Great assistance around meal and medication times, and I felt well cared for without feeling overwhelmed by their presence. FOOD & DRINKS Exceeded all expectations. All the Chefs were welcoming and happy to have a chat and answer questions. The level of their knowledge, skills and versatility was tested when I began a restrictive diet. They took it in their stride and provided excellent food despite the limitations. EXERCISE & CONDITION + YOGA Outstanding in all areas. Goals have been exceeded.
