The Verisa Catalogue
A curated collection of verified wellness stays, selected for travellers who want to feel well wherever they go.
Southern Ocean Lodge
Kangaroo Island, Australia$$$$
A cliff-edge wellness lodge shaped by ocean, wilderness and recovery.
Southern Ocean Lodge is one of Australia’s clearest examples of luxury accommodation where wellness is not separated from place. The lodge sits above the wild southern coast of Kangaroo Island, with suites facing the ocean, local food woven into the stay, guided island experiences, and a Southern Spa that includes treatment rooms, gym, sauna, hot plunge and cold plunge. It feels less like wellness has been added to the property, and more like the landscape, architecture and recovery rituals are all working together.

Manawa Retreat
Glentunnel, New Zealand$
A private hill-country retreat ideal for groups who want to slow down together.
It is not a programmed wellness retreat. It is a private patch of Canterbury hill country where a group sets its own pace, with kitchen, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge in the river all to hand. The recovery facilities stay open to single-pod guests, not just whole-house bookings, which makes this an ideal Verisa retreat.

Sparkling Hill Resort
Vernon, Canada$$
A crystal-lined wellness resort on a granite ridge above Okanagan Lake.
The draw is KurSpa, one of Canada's largest spa facilities, built entirely around the European cycle of hot, cold and rest, with saunas, steam rooms, contrast pools and a sub-zero cryotherapy chamber that few places in the country can match. Add the three and a half million Swarovski crystals set through the building and the ridge-top lake views, and it is an adults-only wellness resort that takes its spa genuinely seriously. Come for the thermal circuit, not a programme.

The Rocks Resort
Currumbin, Australia$
Simple beachfront apartments with space, sauna and ocean rhythm.
The Rocks Resort is a straightforward beachfront stay, and that is its appeal. The property is relaxed and unpretentious, with the essentials that make a coastal stay feel easy: self-contained apartments, direct access to Currumbin Beach, a heated pool, spa, sauna, gym and tennis court. For travellers who feel best by the water, the location does a lot of the work.

Huka Lodge
Taupō, New Zealand$$$$
A riverside lodge for deep rest, spa ritual and nature-led luxury.
Huka Lodge holds wellness inside a classic New Zealand lodge experience. The suites sit along the Waikato River and established gardens, with the spa, gym, sauna, ice contrast shower, hot pool and swimming pool giving the stay a genuine recovery layer. It is not a strict retreat or wellness programme. It is a composed riverside stay where rest, food, nature, heat, cold, movement and quiet luxury are all close at hand.

Meriton Suites Melbourne
Melbourne, Australia$
A high-rise Melbourne suite stay with pool, sauna and city access.
Meriton Suites Melbourne works because it understands the pace of the city. The pool, spa, sauna and fitness centre give guests room to reset, while the King Street location keeps sport, culture, shopping and transport close. It is practical, vertical and well placed for travellers who want Melbourne access without giving up routine.

The Louise
Marananga, Australia$$
A villa-style lodge among the vines in South Australia's Barossa Valley.
The Louise is first a backstage pass to the Barossa, Appellation is a world-class restaurant, and the team open doors to winemakers and cellars a visitor could never reach alone. What lifts it into Verisa is that the wellness is real, not decorative: a genuine day spa and sauna on site, plus an infinity pool over the vines. It is a wine-country lodge that takes recovery seriously, rather than a retreat that happens to sit near vineyards.

Pullman Auckland Hotel & Apartments
Auckland, New Zealand$
A city hotel with serious wellness beneath the surface.
Pullman Auckland is one of those rare central-city hotels where the wellness facilities are more than a token inclusion. The comprehensive gym, sauna, steam room, spa pool, cold plunge and Luxe Spa create a complete recovery layer in the heart of Auckland. It works especially well for travellers who want the ease of a CBD stay without letting their routine disappear.

Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
Surfers Paradise, Australia$
A beachfront apartment tower directly opposite the sand at Surfers Paradise.
The location is the point: the sand is directly across the Esplanade, and the suites are full apartments with kitchens and laundries rather than hotel rooms, so a longer stay actually works. The wellness side is straightforward but real, a sauna, a proper gym, and both an indoor pool with a spa and an outdoor pool with a sundeck. This is not a retreat. It is a dependable beachfront base that happens to have genuine recovery facilities, and for a Gold Coast holiday that is exactly the right trade.

The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp
Glenorchy, New Zealand$$
A wilder alpine stay built for warmth, movement, fire and stillness.
At Base Camp, comfort is reduced to its most essential form: warmth, water, food cooked over fire, and the rare quiet of being properly away. The huts are pared-back but considered, with Timaru bluestone bathrooms, lambswool layers and evening fires. Wellness here is not an add-on. It is built into the rhythm of the place. The sauna has its role. The mountains have theirs. Nothing feels polished for effect, and that is exactly the point.

- Nature Immersion
Aro Ha
Glenorchy, New Zealand$$$
A Southern Alps retreat for movement, stillness and deep renewal.
Aro Ha is one of the clearest expressions of wellness as a complete environment. Nothing feels incidental. The days are structured around movement, mountain air, plant-based food, massage, mindfulness and proper rest, with the Obsidian Spa adding heat, cold and therapeutic recovery into the rhythm. It is not a place you visit for a single amenity. It is a place designed to change the state you arrive in.

Meriton Suites Canberra
Canberra, Australia$
A central Canberra suite stay with pool, sauna and city access.
Meriton Suites Canberra makes a city stay feel more workable. The indoor heated pool and spa, sauna and all-hours fitness centre add useful recovery and movement options, while the suite format brings kitchen facilities, laundry and space. It is practical and accessible rather than retreat-like, which is exactly where its value sits.
