Elysia Wellness Retreat

What Elysia Wellness Retreat does

Elysia Wellness Retreat is an adults-only (18+) holistic wellness destination located at 165 Thompsons Road, Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley wine region of New South Wales, Australia. The retreat is operated by Minor Hotels Australasia Limited and functions as a single-property boutique hospitality business built around six tiered all-inclusive wellness programs — Essential Escape (1 night, A$780), The Framework (2 nights, A$1,510), Ground Yourself (3 nights, A$2,430), Energy Shift (4 nights, A$3,010), Prioritise Balance (5 nights, A$3,800), and Return to Self (7 nights, A$4,950) — each combining private villa accommodation, chef-prepared mindful meals, daily activities, wellness seminars, and tiered spa credits. The property is supported by a Day Spa offering 50+ therapies using BABOR skincare products, an activity planner spanning yoga, tai chi, Pilates, meditation, hiking, and fitness circuits, and the recently launched Fusion Restaurant for wellness dining.

The commercial model is a tiered all-inclusive package structure priced per person, with a A$550 per-person deposit due within 72 hours of booking and final payment six weeks before arrival; all payments are non-transferable and non-refundable. Distribution runs through the Synxis-powered booking engine on elysiaretreat.com.au, toll-free and international phone lines, dedicated corporate and group sales outreach, and walk-in day visitors to the spa and restaurant. The retreat participates in the GHA Discovery loyalty program, offering Minor Discovery members an additional 10% off, and partners with Vivien Rose Cultural Tours for off-property wine and cultural experiences. Certificates and signage include BABOR Institute status and compliance with Australian (Privacy Act 1988) and New Zealand (Privacy Act 2020) data protection regimes.

Revenue diversification spans overnight packages, standalone Day Spa treatments, Fusion Restaurant covers for day visitors, gift vouchers, and corporate group bookings. The business employs 12 people and operates from a single site; no venture, private equity, or ownership disclosures beyond the Minor Hotels parent group are present in the source materials, and no revenue, funding, or financial filings are publicly disclosed.
