Wellness Centre Port Stephens

Wellness Centre Port Stephens is a purpose-built wellness and allied health facility listed in Newcastle, with its site at 5 Koala Place, Boat Harbour. It forms part of The Oasis at One Mile Beach, set across five acres of bushland and subtropical gardens. The property is close to One Mile Beach, with the website noting the beach and coastal walks are about 650 metres away, while Anna Bay shops and Birubi Beach are around 3 kilometres from the centre.

The centre’s main role is providing calm, practical spaces for wellness practitioners, allied health professionals, workshops and retreats. It has seven treatment or consultation rooms, a shared waiting area, staff kitchenette and bathroom facilities, with disability access and free off-street parking. Massage rooms can include electric massage tables, while therapy and consulting rooms are furnished. Practitioners can hire rooms on a short- or long-term basis, although reception and administration are not included and remain the responsibility of each practitioner.

For group activities, the venue offers an air-conditioned yoga or training room of about 70–80 square metres, with room for up to 20 people as a yoga studio or up to 25 in a training format. Available features include bolsters, blocks, a presentation screen, speakers, adjustable lighting and free Wi-Fi. There is also a 250-square-metre undercover deck for larger sessions and events, with capacity for up to 80 people, plus optional trestle tables, chairs and bar facilities. The deck opens onto the surrounding gardens and is designed for activities such as meditation, classes, dining and socialising.

The setting is a key part of the offering. Visitors and retreat groups can use garden walks, water features, outdoor areas and quiet breakout spaces, while the centre also provides an infrared sauna for bookable 45-minute sessions for up to three people. Onsite practitioner services include remedial and relaxation massage, facials, social work consultations, men’s health and holistic medicine consultations, yoga, reiki, sound healing, meditation and hypnotherapy. Retreat packages can also include accommodation in nine lofted bungalows, catering, a drinks station, event support, meal-service support and access to a private plunge pool when in season. It suits wellness professionals seeking flexible rooms, as well as groups planning yoga retreats, training days, workshops or restorative getaways.
