Situated in the wine region of Margaret River Western Australia, Empire retreat offers complete luxury and seclusion. Built around a 30-year old farmhouse this secluded retreat is nestled on 265 acres of tranquil land. There is a distinct eastern flavour throughout the retreat, from the simplistic chic, large teak beds and courtyard water gardens through to the ancient monastry doors at the entrance. A beautiful day bed is nestled amongst the bush for those wishing to read or sip a glass of wine from one of the local vineyards. Warm colours, local timbers, tumbled marble mosaics and sensuous bed linen grace the interiors. The natural bush surroundings of the suites provide both a peaceful and picturesque hideaway.
Whilst at the retreat indulge in some therapeutic face and body spa treatments. There is an 8-10 person spa in the bush with an adjoining sauna therapists are trained and will guide guests through there individual needs. The hotel is located close to restaurants, galleries, spectular beaches, Margaret River vineyards and other attractions.
