Rooms & Suites: 74

The luxurious Golden Door - Elysia is Australia's premier health retreat located in the picturesque NSW Hunter Valley.

Elysia is far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city to connect you to nature, but not so far from the big centres that a shorter stay is impossible. Just 90 minutes north west of Sydney on the F3 freeway, Elysia is situated like a citadel atop a large, rolling hill to take advantage of the magnificent views and the Brokenback mountain range.

As soon as you approach the retreat, taking in the fresh air and the lush vistas of the countryside, you'll notice that you're beginning to relax and unwind. By the time you reach your destination and enter the retreat, you'll be ready to leave the mundane world behind and begin a healing journey that will soothe and balance the mind, body and spirit.
