Elysia Wellness Retreat

This was not my first visit to Elysia and I left feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready. The rooms are spacious with super comfortable bedding. The bathrooms are huge with heaps of vanity space to spread yourself out if you need. The view from my room was relaxing with gorgeous sunset colours each night and lots of kangaroos to watch at dusk. The restaurant served delicious meals and the waitstaff were always happy to help and smiling. Morning and afternoon tea were tasty and the mocktails are a fun way to introduce dinner. I love the big communal dining tables if that’s what you want or there are smaller tables if that’s what you prefer. The cooking demonstration was a great night and one you don’t want to miss if you are there. The daily program is great, you can do as much or as little as you want and there is no pressure to participate. I love the sunrise tai chi and the water running class they both kick start my day. The instructors are all super helpful and have great positive attitudes. The spa is so relaxing and there’s a huge range of options available. I always try to experience something I have never heard of or done plus a favourite if time permits. I can’t remember all the little things that you don’t even think of unless you are writing a review like undercover parking for your car if you drive. The veggie garden visit or the people you meet and take home as friends. The Guest Speakers, the pool oh wow love the pool! I don’t even miss the coffee, chocolate or alcohol.

The location is amazing and the views are to die for. Room very clean. However, we didn’t feel very looked after by staff. We checked in and no one mentioned the WIFI is completely down and no chance of a fix whilst we were there. Also there was building work outside our room with a digger which no one warned us about. You can’t get through on the phone to reception and it just doesn’t feel like they make much effort to look after their guests. All in all 3 stars purely for location and cleanliness. Also for the roos!

This experience was very special- life changing sound dramatic but I have come away with so much more knowledge on my health and well being through the “gurus” at the retreat. A place to truly disconnect with the world and reconnect with myself- thank you Mel and the whole team. Well done.

Second time staying loved the place would highly recommend for a getaway the peace and quiet is wonderful.

We've been back about 4 times now and if you want to rest, recharge, eat healthy, focus on fitness and relaxation this is the place! We come once a year, well worth it.

Great place to stay.We were volunteering at the JNJG junior golf and didn't need any of the facilities. Huge room with lots of chairs and a table with lots of places to store your gear. Great views over the valley. Very comfortable place to stay
