Yallingup Lodge Spa Retreat

I offered to write my review to the owner but was not given access to their email upon request. This lodge is tired and needs some TLC. From the signs at the bottom of the drive one can see already the caliber of the accommodation. Both garden beds in front of the signs are unkempt and full of weeds. There is an old caravan parked in the field to the right and old unused garden boxes to the left. The smell at the bottom of the driveway is not pleasant, like sewage. I asked to see the room on arrival but was refused until full payment was made. The room was dark and uninviting. The windows are high and the door is frosted so you cannot see out into the trees without sitting on the balcony. I was informed that the spa was filled and hot for our arrival and that there was a barbecue and microwave outside and that was the only information received. We were told to ask questions if there was anything else we wanted to know. The first thing I did was to empty the kettle to boil water for tea. I was surprised that the kettle was full and on pouring the contents out I discovered that it was full of coffee that someone had made in the kettle. I did not feel like using it for tea after that. We went into town to eat an early dinner and when we returned, we discovered that the spa was now lukewarm. There is no way of reheating it except by a loose tap fitting, an impossible task for the amount of water. If we had been told that this was the only way to heat it we might have used it sooner. The spa is also old and tired and not inviting. Later I went to use the microwave, it was dirty and smelt and I could not use it. The management was only there till 4 after which we discovered that the heater didn’t work, it worked for 10 minutes then stopped. At this point we looked for some help and a kind lady who works at the OM spa came and helped us with the heater and finding a replacement kettle for us. The heater worked for 10 minutes and stopped again, so no cosy glow, just the aircon to heat the room. There is no top sheet on the bed that one might expect in a luxury retreat and there was only one bedside lamp. Both the bedside tables and outside table needed cleaning. There is no water in the fridge except for expensive bottled water and breakfast is extra. Needless to say we left the next morning as soon as we got up. We requested a refund but this was refused. We were refunded for the spa treatment that I didn’t have and I cannot comment on the spa as I did not go in there. What was supposed to be a luxury break for our anniversary left us sorely disappointed and ripped off.

Paid and booked on arrival was told they cancelled our room were told to go away trying to get a refund was extremely difficult

A lovely and quiet Lodge with great swimming pool area and a retro cosy common lounge.

A quiet and convenient location. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff.

This retreat is amazing. Set in the heart of natural bushland and surrounded by nature at every tern, this place truly encompasses the truest feel of total relaxation. Modern amenities for those wanting to stay in touch with the outside world while relaxing or simply switch off and enjoy the sounds of nature at its best. You can go either way and still feel totally relaxed at the end of your stay. We came for our 23rd wedding anniversary and the only sad part was that we had to eventually leave. Could have stayed a MONTH here with ease. We had a spa outside on our balcony, a huge king sized bed, first rate bathroom and bedroom layout and set-up. All while being right on nature's doorstep. There's a huge outdoor pool with modern design and relaxing day beds and retreat areas. You can have drinks and food platters especially catered for you and brought out to where you are. Food can be specially catered for and the flavours are divine! Easy parking and easy to find, 9 minutes from Dunsborough with a variety of shops close at hand, you can still feel like you are in the middle of the bush relaxing away from all of life's hectic pace. Each room is its own private area with a fantastic common area that feels like a home away from home. The staff are amazing too.. friendly, caring and genuinely wanting to ensure your stay is everything that is promised. Its rare to meet people in the hospitality industry nowadays with such true dedication to what they do and how they feel about the services they provide. Here at Omdayspa and retreat, that is exactly what you get. Truly friendly exceptional people who are genuinely interested in the guests they get to meet and welcome to stay. We WILL DEFINATELY be back!
