“…My stay at the award-winning Creacon Wellness Retreat was one of the most magical experiences in my life. … My room was quaint, cozy, and deeply peaceful. No TV, no bright lights, no noise, and no distractions. For the first time in a long while, I slept like a baby.”
“The retreat specialises in relaxing yoga and meditative getaways — perfect for sceptical city types like ourselves… From the moment we stepped inside the lodge, we felt immediately welcomed and soothed.”

On arrival at Creacon, we were immediately impressed by the manicured grounds and the imposing façade of this country manor style premises.
On entering the little driveway, a cute Buddha welcomed me with a smile from the garden, and as I parked, my eye was drawn to a sign that said, ‘it’s a wonderful life.’ My usual frantic adrenalin immediately began to settle itself.
