Guest Experiences
“Great few days - beautiful location and facilities - wait staff need training - they did try. Fabulous wellness facilities and gym. Wellness team amazing”
“We had a really lovely stay at Elysia Retreat and genuinely appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and overall experience. A special shoutout to Deb, who provided outstanding customer service throughout our stay. Hope that is passed onto her because she is a keeper. Thank you to the team for such a relaxing getaway.”
“Lovely as always. Changes afoot but be aware if you have been before and have expectations that you are happy with the new arrangements.”
“I recently spent seven days at Elysia Wellness Retreat as a reset and some much-needed time out, and I absolutely loved it. The staff were incredibly welcoming, the accommodation was excellent and very clean, and the food was superb, every meal was delicious. I originally planned to spend a lot of time relaxing and reading, but the daily activities were so enjoyable that I ended up filling my days with fitness classes, health sessions and presentations. The spa was also fantastic. I had several massages and facials during my stay, and the Kahuna massage in particular was amazing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Elysia to anyone wanting to relax, recharge and focus on their wellbeing. I am already looking forward to returning.”
“Fantastic will be back, so many daily activities”
“This was my second stay here within 6 weeks. Such a wonderful location. Accommodation was excellent and such a Very peaceful place”
