With a background in psychotherapy, martial arts and study with yogis and Indian and Tibetan masters Derek translates ancient teachings into modern day to address the biggest challenges facing people today. Derek said “Linda and I wanted to create a space where people could take time out from the busy world and just concentrate on themselves. The team at Creacon work so hard to create an atmosphere that is conducive to this and I am very proud of each and every one of them”.
The holistic approach extends to the kitchen where head chef Gaetano Pernagallo who has trained in ayurvedic cooking brings this experience to his kitchen. He has created a cuisine that promotes health and nutrition based on the philosophy that ‘Food is Medicine’, ingredients are seasonal and many are grown in the Creacon gardens.

With all the goodness in mind, creation of dishes makes sure that each and every dish coming out of the kitchen is appealing to the eye and tastes absolutely delicious.
