Positive Experience
It sounds like you had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel! On the positive side, it's great that you enjoyed the indoor pool, spa, valley view room, and the cleanliness of your room upon check-in. Plus, seeing kangaroos at your doorstep must have been quite an experience! On the flip side, it's understandable that issues like the receptionist being occupied with a phone call, lack of included housekeeping, non-operational internal restaurant, poor internet in the room, expensive massage therapy, and limited gym facilities were disappointing. Overall, it seems like the positives outweighed the negatives, but there were definitely some areas that could have been improved.

Elysia is a fabulous property in the Hunter Valley. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. The gym is amazing as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pool, sauna and ice bath. The resort is feeling a little dated which is why I couldn't give 5 stars, but I would absolutely stay there again.

I would like to thank the staff, in particular the lady who arranged for a room transfer due to my disability to use stairs. She was very obliging and assisted by picking me up in the transport buggy whenever required. The view from the room was spectacular and very peaceful.

Great place to spend as a wellness retreat, or a wine-tasting weekend - OR both. If you're only using accommodation & spa/fitness centre, restaurant is 10 walk away. Otherwise, lots to do fitness, activities, spa, pools, kangaroo watching. Very peaceful.

If I stayed at a place like this in Napa Valley it would be over 1000/night. Simply incredible views over the Hunter Valley. Kangaroos and wallabies outside your door. Wow! The only thing I would change is the 8am room cleaning. What the heck??

A very relaxing stay. The staff at the spa and the accommodation were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was tranquil and comfortable, although the thermostat was hard to control and I had trouble sleeping as a result. There is no food at Elysia unless a retreat is running which I wish had been communicated to me as I was there from 930am to 345pm in the spa, and wasn't able to purchase any food. The staff found me a couple of apples left over from the retreat for which I'm grateful. I then ordered room service from Cypress Lakes at 345pm so that it could be prepared when they opened at 5pm, but it didn't arrive until 650, and after 4 phone calls to Cypress. Elysia itself is beautiful, however, they should ensure that access to food is reliable, even if it's from an external provider. I was extremely hungry for the majority of my waking hours for the first day of my stay.
