White River Manor<\/strong> Executive Rehab<\/a> is a luxury treatment centre offering 5-star accommodation and facilities, geared for discerning clientele seeking short- to long-stay treatment for addiction. It\u2019s located on a beautiful 14-hectare property on the outskirts of the town of White River; nestled in a magical garden setting with towering trees, lush Lowveld vegetation and shaded lawns that run down to a pretty stream.<\/p>\n

The building that houses White River Manor is a 1920 heritage home that\u2019s been stylishly renovated to offer luxurious accommodation and treatment facilities<\/a>. It was built some twenty years after White River was established in 1904 as part of an irrigation scheme to provide employment for unemployed British soldiers returning from the Anglo-Boer War. For many years it was run as a luxury country lodge before it was taken over by the present owners.<\/p>
