We didn't stay at the retreat but did go to the day spa. Spa package- Swedish massage,facial & pedicure. If you bring your bathers and arrive early or stay after treatments you can also use the huge gorgeous spa (big enough to swim in), sauna and relaxation lounge (worth it even to spend 5mins sitting in just listening to the...

We didn't actually stay at the Health retreat although we did have the pleasure of having a three hour spa fusion package! One hour Swedish massage, one hour facial along with a one hour pedicure.. What a Devine experience with the option of using one site facilities such as a heated indoor swimming pool and relaxation lounge. Extremely well worth... More

Arriving in the Golden Door is like arriving in the paradise of healthy living. I was amazed by the global holistic approach of the retreat. The philosophy of love, self-care is there to deliver the message of healthy life style and healthy diet. You find there for a few days or a simple get away from the city the total... More

Visiting The Golden Door Elysia is the most unexpected paradise - no golden sandy beaches and crystal blue waters - but an unique paradise for the mind and body. I was lucky enough to spend 5 nights recently and the moment I arrived I felt myself unwinding and recharging. Delicious healthy food, no alcohol, getting up with the sun, exercising... More

I was recommended this place by a friend who had noticed I'd run myself into the ground with work, life, etc.Booked on Friday, arrived on Sunday, a frazzled bag of nerves being a 1st-timer to a health retreat, and flying solo. I spent 7 days there (which is recommended) and felt warm and welcomed from the moment I walked up... More

The food was delicious, healthy and plentiful. The exercise was optional, and then only as strenuous as you wanted it to be -... More

We had an absolutely fabulous week ... being active, eating well, meeting some lovely people and simply enjoying the surroundings, and peace and quiet of the Hunter Valley. Waking up to glorious sunrises and spectacular sunsets was pretty special. The team at Golden Door are fantastic too .... We will be back ! More

Having spent 6 weeks at Golden Door on the intern programme I can't recommend the place highly enough. I spent 5 weeks working and 1 week as a guest (payment in kind at the end) and it really was a once in a lifetime opportunity and one I'll treasure. Many guests who were staying during my time there were repeat... More

Just returned from a 5 day stay in villa 6. The rooms are clean, spacious and have with a great view. There were lots of activities/seminars on offer - I enjoyed the laughter class, boot camp and cooking demonstration. The first few days are hard on your body, but you feel better later on as the week goes on. I... More
