Grounds & Property

Perfectly positioned between Yallingup and Dunsborough, Yala Yallingup builds on the legacy of Empire Retreat & Spa, originally established in 1994. Reimagined by its new custodians, the estate offers a secluded sanctuary nestled among tranquil pastures and native bushland, inviting guests to slow down, explore, and connect with the region. Beyond the grounds, our friendly and knowledgeable team is ready to share insider tips, from hidden beaches and cellar doors to the best local dining; ensuring your stay is as memorable as the setting itself.

Vineyard & Winery

Tucked into the most fertile pocket of the property, the 12-acre vineyard thrives in sandy loam soil over a strong limestone base; conditions that nurture exceptional fruit. First planted in 1997, the vines reflect the estate’s commitment to quality over quantity, producing grapes that embody the character of the land. This philosophy carries through to every bottle, with wines crafted for both style and enjoyment. Full-flavoured and award-winning, they are designed to be shared; perfect for savouring slowly with friends on a long afternoon.
