Having recently experienced the Golden Door I am feeling great, less stressed and ready to move forward. The staff were amazingly helpful & friendly I couldn't speak highly enough !

I have just returned from 6 nights at the Golden Door and I feel like a new person. My eyes are clear, my skin is glowing and I am unphased by Sydney traffic! I did not know how stressed I had been until I took the time to stop and relax. They offer a holistic approach to regaining a sense... More

A week at the Golden Door Elysia is a completely amazing experience at any time - the changes you take away, both tangible & intangible, are life enhancing. Add in the Body Blitz week with an increased focus on exercise, healthy team competition (go the green team.. next time!!), team building and nutrition and it's a fun & powerful experience.... More

What a week. Once again Bridget, Mel, Matt and the gang (thanks Ali) have shown how to combine exercise, healthy food, fun, team activities, competition, seminars, cooking lessons, massages and spa treatments in a "Body Blitz" packed week. Opt in and out whenever you wish... "me" time in a luxe environment with beautiful surroundings. I am 51 and this is... More

If you need a bit of 'me' time then this is the place. I stayed for a week but could have stayed a few more days. Do as much as you want or just relax. I really enjoyed the physical elements, the sense of peace and meeting great people. The food was fabulous and the accommodation was great. The staff... More

Okay, going to a health retreat where there is no coffee, wine or chocolate sounds like the absolute opposite of my idea of a great holiday. However work and life has been overly frantic and stressful for the last 6 months and I was feeling like an impending train wreck. My other half has been to Golden Door twice before... More

Stayed 4 nights over long Anzac Day Weekend. What a wonderful place to stay. Rooms beautiful and relaxing, turn down service such a nice touch. Food excellent and healthy but never hungry. Great choice of activities or just relax and sleep by the pool. Highly recommend.

I stayed for one week and am grateful for the new much needed experience. This was a first for me..... I never previously considered a health retreat ! Now I feel that I am a follower!
