Empire was 10/10. Such a beautiful property with a very relaxing and peaceful vibe. The breakfast supplied was healthy with delicious Gluten Free and Vegan options. The Suite we stayed in was impeccably furnished and clean with all facilities. I would highly recommend this place if you need a rest and recharge in nature surrounded by beautiful things. Kirsty was a brilliant host. A very caring and passionate person who was lovely to deal with as was the rest of her staff. I look forward to returning here one day.

Loved every minute of our 4 day stay here and will definitely be back. The whole vibe at Empire is relaxation . The staff were all very friendly, breakfast was delicious ,we tried a different dish each morning and would find it hard to pick a favourite as we loved them all. We had the couples 90 minute massage ,which I thought was a bit pricey when I booked it but I can honestly say well worth the money and one of the best I’ve had . Our room was spacious,comfortable,quiet and just like the online photos. we loved the outdoor shower in its bush setting,and the bath was a good size and very comfortable with wonderful complimentary bath salts . A couple of things that would have made it a totally perfect experience for me would be the addition of a pod coffee machine,slippers and a complimentary bottle of Empire wine in your room ,then I probably wouldn’t want to leave!

A hidden gem in the area, comfortable and roomy loft suite with character, tastefully decorated and very clean. Friendly staff and an excellent breakfast. Close to Dunsborough and well located to explore the area. Would definitely return.

Not Quite 5 Star Service
Location is great and beautiful green surroundings. The breakfast service is less than desired with the waitress getting our order wrong on the first day and then not acknowledging us the second day-hardly 5 star service. We also found the pillows very uncomfortable, be good to have a pillow menu if I'm paying $400+ a night!

Beautifully styled space
This was a fantastic experience on our 5th anniversary trip. The property is extremely tastefully done, the rooms are large and luxurious, and ours also had a small sitout overlooking the beautiful native bushland that they've left untouched... Especially beautiful if you sit there, or in their breakfast area early morning to hear the birds and insects waking up.

Absolute gem and attention to detail
If you are looking for a luxury but personable retreat then this is it. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating and the property itself is fantastic (with not too many rooms) and very well located near a local town with many of the region’s great restaurants. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer. One of the best places we have stayed in the world.

Empire Retreat is a must stay place for a short or extended stay. The property is so serene and the natural surrounds are beautiful. We spent time sitting around the lake and taking a walk. The breakfast was amazing - healthy and plentiful.

All excellent-EXCEPT- we wanted to watch a bit of Wimbledon before going out to dinner but there was "no signal"! I think an investment in a satellite dish and Foxtel by would be appreciated by many. Football fans also may want to watch a game relaxing for a couple of hours before going out.

We had a lovely couple of days at The Empire Retreat. My partner enjoyed a day being pampered with the Renew spa treatments, the breakfast was simple but stylish and the staff were lovely. Our room was great with the large bath, and the outdoor shower was divine. Highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back again.
