Amaroo Retreat & Spa

My husband and I l have come here for the last two years, it is just magical. Superb rooms and amenities, beautiful staff, the best massage we have ever had and delicious dining. This is our place to just switch off, be in nature and it's bliss!!

After reading the reviews I expected a lot more and at first I was very impressed but as our experience went on, there were a handful of things that disappointed and de-elevated the experience. Glad we stayed but won’t stay again. Accommodation - We paid $550AUD for a Sunday night, that included a glass of ‘bubbly’ on arrival and breakfast the next morning. The Room: beautiful, smelt absolutely lovely, bath on the deck was a standout to relax and watch the nature. However there was only one window we could open, in the shower, besides the two sliding doors. No fly screens at all so we couldn’t get fresh air circulating in the room unless we opened it up to the bugs, and there were mozzies. No ceiling fan. We couldn’t regulate our temperatures at night and alternated between roasting hot to freezing cold. We don’t like sleeping with the A/C on so just couldn’t get comfortable. The Food: Dinner: options were set at $75pp 2 courses or $85pp 3 courses. After looking at their menu online it looked like I could justify that price so went ahead and booked it. Only problem is that at the time of our stay their website and actual menus were very different, they hadn’t updated their website and what was listed online was the only basis of us eating there. I had rubbery overcooked scallops (4) for starter and a standard main. Between my dishes I ended up with an overwhelming garlic taste in my mouth. A chocolate torte with a white chocolate crème fresh for dessert, the flavour combination didn’t work, we couldn’t eat it. We had taken this one to our room and we flushed it. For $75 for two courses ($150 for two people) it was not worth the price. Highly disappointed. Breakfast: Again, on the day, the published website menu didn’t match the actual menu. I was looking forward to eggs Benedict on home made crumpets, the slight change to the menu here was that it was served on English muffins. Save the English muffins for McDonalds please. Instead I substituted for sourdough, that should be standard. The hollandaise sauce on my eggs was absolutely cold. There was no cracked pepper on the table, nor offered. Just making a few minor tweaks here would bring it up to Perth standard. Coffee was great. The Service: It was fine, that’s all, not next level, the staff suitably simply polite. Wry low touch which was appreciated. The pool and the grounds were beautiful. When we consider the price we paid for 1 night bed, breakfast and dinner ($700), compared to previous experiences at high end properties in Perth and the South West, we would have had a superior experience if we stayed at Crown Towers with Crystal Club access. Each to their own, but Amaroo was not for us.

Absolutely beautiful place for a staycation ! Peaceful with beautiful surroundings, the service is excellent, and the food was absolutely amazing. Spa facial was amazing too and so relaxing. Staff in the restaurant particularly Lily and Mel are attentive and offered good old customer service. Well done and terrific stay, definitely will be back.

Went to Amaroo midweek took 2 days off work to enjoy some overdue peace and tranquility after a tough year and having 3 surgeries I needed some serious rest. Told at 4pm during check in there was tree looping the next day . The lopping and mulching went all day we couldn’t enjoy any peace and quiet even had to leave the premises to get away from the noise. Whilst the grounds and staff were lovely this certainly does not have a 5 star vibe. They have an oyster specific menu another reason we wanted to visit only to find out both nights no oysters at all. Don’t think about ordering dessert either as they told the people behind us they only had 1 dessert on the menu . Really wanted to check out the grounds to as an opportunity for a wedding but have no desire to come back after explaining on check out how disappointed we were in paying almost $1000 for 2 nights I asked for some compensation . I recorded the sound as no person should have had to experience this as well as loppers walking up to your residence when in robes and supposed to be private. It’s been 5 days I have waited patiently after being told someone would get back to me and still not even a call or an apology. If your looking for a nice getaway that understands luxury and tranquility head to Hidden Valley instead. This was nothing short of disappointment.

I was given a voucher for a one night stay in the chalets for my birthday. Took the hubby with me on a Sunday night and had Monday off. Breakfast for two was included and a glass of bubbly on arrival. Our room was spacious, modern and comfortable. All amenities were there. Our private deck had a beautiful view of the secluded bush, and was complete with outdoor setting and outdoor spa. Double shower included inside with lots of glass panels on two sides of the chalet for the spectacular view.

A quiet Saturday for lunch. A lovely spot. Nailed the entre's. Oysters and Mozzarella salad superb. Mains, garlic prawns superb. Fish special for main a disaster. Should have sent back. Suspect freezer burnt and not fresh. Over cooked and cold. I'm thinking the main was an unusual mistake so we will be back. I did say same to reception on paying the bill.

The experience from checking in, to having our massages, dinner and drinks was wonderful. The staff here truly make this a great experience. The grounds and accommodation lived up to expectation and I would highly recommend visiting while in Perth. The 1 1/2 hour couples massage has to be one of the best I have had anywhere. It was worth every cent.

OMG OMG OMG Honestly this is the most relaxing and beautiful place and I can’t recommend it enough - especially for couples celebrating or just wanting to enjoy time together This adults only retreat has it all and they have thought of EVERYTHING!! From the perfect villas with comfortable beds, beautiful linen/towels, plenty of room and large showers. To the amazing spa on the deck of your own villa to relax with a drink and look out over your beautiful view of the trees The spa is honestly the most relaxing and amazing massage I have EVER had - and I normally love crown towers massages!! The ladies are so respectful and make sure you are comfortable at all times. The facial was bliss too! The restaurant was amazing - the food was absolutely perfect and the flavours so so good. The staff were extremely attentive and so lovely Highly recommend sitting outside, even in winter as they have plenty of heating too. It overlooks the pool area and is just intimate and chilled. We went the 2 course for one of us and 3 course for the other person and PLENTY of food was eaten The steak (ribeye) was cooked to perfection and the scallops were THE BEST. Also the duck breast was amazing and highly recommend it The pool area is lovely and clearly been revamped recently - it’s perfect to sit and have a drinks pre dinner with comfortable couches around the place, or just relax after a swim in the pool (in summer). Also they have rugs and heaters for the winter months This place books out early and you can clearly see why! I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

My husband and I have just got home from a 2 night getaway to Amaroo retreat. From the moment we got there it was absolutely incredible. The venue is stunning and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and very clean. We had a massage at the spa which was the best massage my husband and I have ever had. The food was incredible especially breakfast which was included in our stay. ( the French toast was soo yummy) All in all a beautiful and super relaxing place and we will definitely be back 😊
