We were given a voucher for Empire as an engagement present, and used it for our wedding night (Friday) and the following night (Saturday). They were very accommodating in allowing my husband to check in early on our wedding day in order to get ready, as well as allowing the photographer to take photos in the communal guest lounge area... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Empire Spa and Retreat for 4 days during January. The room was fantastic. It was spacious with all the facilities we could have asked for, including an outdoor shower (didn't try this as we're not fond of bugs), big spa bath and a fridge (which is useful when it's 30 degrees) or you... more

Empire was a gorgeous spot to spend 3 nights. We stayed in one of the two suites in the main house, and with no one else staying in the other suite, we mostly had the house to ourselves. The bed was extremely comfortable (bliss), and the suite itself was understated and very stylish. Breakfast was included each day and was... more

We honeymooned at the Empire Retreat and Spa for 4 nights in March of 2007. We had an amazing time. We were upgraded to the best room upon arrival and 'best' was a great way to describe it. Clean, beautifully designed with a fabulous private outdoor shower and a delightful view. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast is... more
