place was very quiet and peaceful. can watch heaps of Kangaroos running around. was more close to the nature.

we were not mentioned that cooking stove and oven was not working so we had to chuck lots of meat. that makes us bit upset but thankfully microwave was working.

Located in a nice area (road between Elysia and Cypress Lakes has massive pot holes though) and 5 star resort facilities like swimming pool and steam room. Nice staff.

Basic in room supplies, worse than what you would get in a motel. Ie, mini bar with a single/small container of milk, a couple tea bags/coffee capsules, room was missing a "do not disturb" tag for door, and only 2 towels for your stay. Considering that all villas have a shower and bath, you would expect more than 2 towels. Also, no biscuitts for when you have your tea, this would be a basic even for a motel stay. Elysia no longer has an onsite restaurant. Free breakfast is provided by another hotel on the property and is very basic.

The location, facilities, and overall ambience of the retreat. The views are beautiful from all points of the retreat with heaps of wildlife around. Nice getaway for couples, singles and groups with no children. Also the in room dining option from the Oaks was delicious. We had the steak, caesar salad, Sri Lankan curry and Lamb ragout pasta. Chefs kiss!

That we didn't stay longer

Breakfast, location, wonderful housekeeping and suite was beautiful and clean

facilities - pool area outside was very plain. Spa did not work and although staff were told twice it took 24 hours for a sign to be put up - this is confusing for guests. Steam room needed turning on as staff said it turns itself off - a sign would be useful to direct confused guests to staff to ask them to turn on........ Yoga classes etc were minimal. Very odd.

Accommodation was a good size with lovely views. I went for a lovely morning walk around the property. The bed was so comfortable I slept so well.

Both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools were cold which explained why no one was in them. Disappointed as I picked the retreat so I could go for a relaxing swim and defeated the purpose of staying at this property. No instructions on how to work the spa.

It was more than we expected, the large space, the view and how peaceful it was. They’ve done a great job on the design of this resort with the meditation hill in the centre with the most amazing 360° views.

That there was an oven and stove top but not connected and marked as display only!

The property was very beautiful and serene with amazing views over the valley. There were lots do ammenities and activities to do on site.

Minor point but the shower pressure was so strong that it hurt (usually we would have the opposite complaints at other hotels!) Other than that we would definitely come back and stay again.

All meals were very good , you did need to be prepared for lack of bread, sugar, coffee, butter and chocolate, the breakfasts in particular offered a variety of options catering to food intolerance's with hot options.

I would have liked options such as Pilates and Reformer Pilates.

Fantastic room which had all that we required and a delightful outlook. Wonderful bed and lounge fit for relaxation. Great restaurants.

We weren't able to take advantage of some of the wellness facilities due to time restrictions (we will book ahead in future!)

The apartments were fantastic- and waking up to the incredible view, and kangaroos everywhere. 10/10

The kitchen is for display only- would be nice to cook an evening meal and not have to rely on the more expensive fine dining restaurant for food on the property.
