Empire Spa Retreat

I stayed at Empire Spa Retreat by myself for 4 nights. The location is perfect, not too far from Dunsborough and Margaret River. The communication with the retreat staff prior to going, and during my stay was fantastic. They provided local information about restaurants, tour providers, spa treatments and even dress codes for where I was going for meals. The atmosphere in the retreat is cozy, inviting, warm, and very much a part of the natural surrounds. I had 3 spa treatments while I was there, including 2 of the spa rituals. They were absolute bliss. From full body scrubs, scalp massage, hair treatment, sauna, deep tissue and pressure point massage and facials, they do it all. I highly recommend Flora, Seraphina and Erica! The staff all greeted me by name and were very interested in what I had planned for each day. The breakfast was INCREDIBLE, with freshly brewed barista coffee, an amazing array of continental breakfast, and a made to order hot meal off a menu all included in your stay. The room was so comfy. I stayed in the loft suite and couldn't have asked for more. I'll definitely be back again!

This is a charming, delightful and understated place. It has just changed ownership so there may be some changes on the horizon? I think it does need some investment and that may make it change direction We loved our time there, simple and comfortable room - maybe a little dated, but not to put anyone off. Particularly loved the outside shower!! Delicious breakfast served with option to sit outside under the trees We did not use the spa so cant comment on that We would definitely stay again

Where do I begin we had high expectations of this place and our expectations well and truly were exceeded!! This place is honestly the most beautiful piece of paradise with such a quiet calming feel about it which my wife and I absolutely loved. We did the 2 day experience pack for the deluxe room with breakfast included a beautiful gourmet hamper with an abundance of delicious gourmet treats, a massage each and a bottle of red and white wine. I bought this experience for my Wife's 50th birthday and was also for us being together 13 years. The staff were absolutely amazing so bubbly and friendly and professional, Our deluxe room was beautiful the decor is so modern and so well designed, the daily breakfast was plentiful and at a very high standard and a good selection, the peacefulness and the lush surroundings were very calming and the massages we had was absolutely by far the best both my wife and I have ever had they were extremely well trained and intuitive. It is beyond 5 stars in my eyes everything I couldn't fault it holds such a high bar with the experiences we've had at other places and we would both come back to this wonderful place in a heart beat. Highly recommend this Retreat especially if you want to come for a nice peaceful break away from the hustle and bustle.

It was just what we needed, a tranquil secluded retreat with gorgeous amenitie. The villa was just stunning and we will definitely be coming back. It was just hard to get into the dayspa though so we will be booking well in advance next time so we can do a couples massage.

Our trip toYallingup coincided with one of the wettest and coldest days in the south west. We were actually headed to Augusta and decided to break the trip. Empire Retreat is off the main road in a wooded area. On arrival we entered a spacious and cosy reception area and were greeted warmly by Neesha. The log heater was so welcoming. Neesha couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. She gave us an umbrella and showed us to our room, along a wooden walkway. She had put the heater on and it was wonderful to enter the beautifully appointed room. We also had a small balcony and outdoor shower. A four poster bed, bath with shower over bath, toilet and vanity, all open plan (except the WC had a door!). Not a fan of the shower curtain but understood it’s required. Coffee machine, bottled water, mini bar. Really high spec. Breakfast was outstanding. We had ordered the night before and it was exactly as we wanted. Sorry it was only one night. Highly recommended.

Private retreat for couples at the top end of Margaret River. Breakfast was good. The room was clean and well maintained. Good toiletries. Shower over bath would make it difficult for anyone who had mobility issues to easily get in and out. The shower was poorly poisoned over the bath causing water spill on to the bathroom floor. This could be dangerous and should be fixed. Very pleasant surrounds and very peaceful.
