Elysia Wellness Retreat

Room was very nice and all facilities great

I attended the 3 night program with Elysia as a birthday present from my family to allow me to get away for a few days and just relax and renew and focus on myself. It was an experience unlike any other. I found that the limited use of technology and the quietness of the surrounds allowed me just to focus on my health and my journey. The classes were great and very informative - and the teachers were always approachable. The food was nourishing and filling and the Chefs were accomodating to different diets and needs throughout the stay. The spa treatments were unique and very tailored to individual needs. Getting to chat to other people at the retreat was great too, we were all there with some common goals and the conversations flowed. The rooms were set out beautifully and the views were just unsurpassable from other places in the hunter valley I have been. I would suggest trying to attend all the classes and getting to know the people there with you and the staff are so approachable and welcoming. It now has become my goal to check in to Elysia and check out of the daily grind at least once a year.

Elysia was fantastic from start to finish - only wish we had stayed longer. We loved our three bedroom villa and will be back. The food was absolutely delicious and inspired us all with ideas for eating well. The activites on offer were varied and plentiful....a highlight was 6.30 am Tai Chi watching the sunrise and hot air balloons in the distance. The staff were fantastic and all had their area iof expertise for guests. The Spa treatments were extremely good too. Thank you Elysia.

Our 3-night stay at Elysia Wellness Retreat was incredible. The serene environment, attentive staff, and luxurious amenities made it a truly rejuvenating experience. From the personalized service to the stunning views, ensuring a perfect escape.

Booked a weekend stay to celebrate my wife's birthday and for us both to Rejuvenate our bodies, minds and spirits. Beautiful location with some lovely views. The spa treatments were decadent and got our rejuvenation off to a good start, supported by the wellness programs that we really enjoyed. Never thought I'd enjoy a class where I had to chat as much as I did! Leave the judgements at the door and try everything! Surprise packet was the food. I had low expectations of a 'health' retreat's food options, but was blown away by just how tasty, well portion and satisfying the food was! As a bonus, felt great because it was all nutritious.

I just spent a weekend at Elyisa Health Retreat in the Hunter Valley and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Initially, I was concerned about being underfed (!) and the lack of coffee / wine / chocolate (LOL), but I was delighted to find that the food was not only plentiful but also exceptional. The menu featured a variety of delicious dishes, including fish tacos, chicken breast with a flavorful potato salad and vegetables, indulgent chocolate brownies, salmon soba noodles, and the most amazing bircher muesli I've ever tasted. I highly recommend this retreat, especially for anyone feeling mentally overwhelmed. The retreat offers a perfect blend of activities, from yoga and massages to invigorating walks and exquisite meals. It’s a fantastic opportunity to recharge and take care of yourself.

I had low expectations that I would be able to get the most out of the experience - how wrong was I! The program was amazing as were all the staff and I feel physically, mentally and spiritually rejuvenated! It's this interplay between the mind, body and spirit I think is the secret to Elysia's success. Thks Elysia team!

This was my fourth visit over the last six years, and it’s always an amazing stay. The staff here are so friendly and personable and go above and beyond to ensure you have a very enjoyable stay. The variety of activities can’t be beat, from low intensity to high intensity, and everything in between. It really covers all bases, and he can do as much as you want, or as little as you want. The Villars are gorgeous, and the food is a highlight! If you need to get away and recharge, I really can’t recommend this place enough!

I have just returned from a four night stay at Elysia. The food was healthy, delicious and plentiful, staff were amazing, room was clean, spacious and modern with a magical view and the retreat activities and spa experience were impressive. This is a wonderful place to go to recharge the batteries.
