We have only just left the resort 4/12/2020 after staying 7 nights and the experience we had for my birthday and our 30 year wedding anniversary was more that you could ever expect, firstly arriving by helicopter is something special and a little different, Charlton and his staff are extraordinary Johnno and Brenton the 2 head chef’s surprise us with every delicious meal they served, and the rest of the staff were more than happy to help you with whatever you requested or required. If you ever the chance to go make sure you book the Whitehaven Beach Tour it’s incredible and the photos you see before you go don’t really doses it justice The villas were really clean and comfortable Ive been to many places around the world and I’ve never put anything on TripAdvisor or Google reviews before but this place was worth the effort Once again Thank You Charlton and his team Don Fountain…

Thank you for your warm review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the experience. It was so nice to celebrate into the new year with both of you! :) It is always hard to say goodbye, people arrive as guests and leave as family. All of the best for you and N for this new year, and we hope to see you again soon. :)

We have just had 4 nights at Elysian and it was the perfect place in so many ways. If you are looking for a boutique and secluded experience with great service, great food and absolute peace and quiet this is the perfect choice. We had a number of activities to fill in between our lazy time around the pool. We went kayaking, national park walks, day trip to whitehaven (which is a must do). The staff were so helpful in providing backpacks, picnics and equipment. The in house spa has amazing massages and the morning yoga is such a positive way to start the day. The food is all amazing everyone staying enjoyed every meal and the drinks are at a price where you can enjoy them as much as you please. I highly recommend this family run 5 star resort. It is a great choice away from the hustle and bustle if you want a secluded tropical not touristy paradise!…

We spend 5 nights at Elysian, leaving 2.10.20. It is always gives you a level of confidence to book somewhere with great reviews, but this was another level. We felt that our experience truly reflected everything fantastic that we had read! What a perfect second honeymoon! The vibe amongst the other guests we met was the same, everyone is chill and loving the experience. The food! The chef, Johnny, is amazing. The people! The hospitable, friendly staff and Charlton. The resort! Off the grid, luxurious, clean beach huts in the surrounded by island bushland. We loved every day from yoga in the morning to drinks by the fire pit at night, day trips, chilling by the pool, lazing in hammocks in between. So glad we went!

Hi there, thank you very much for your message.
We have just received all the photos after a shoot on island last week and in process of uploading to all our sites and channels. By the end of next week the photos and information will all be updated :)
We hosted our first guests at Elysian at the end of March and in terms of activities some are described on the property website, but we will be sure to update it here too.
Kindest regards
Charlton and the team at Elysian
