Escape to Paradise: Losari Retreat Review - Or, My Margaret River Meltdown (in a Good Way)
Okay, folks, put down your chardonnay (unless you are currently enjoying it, in which case, cheers!), because I've just returned from a stay at Losari Retreat in Margaret River, and I need to unpack. Buckle up, because this isn't your average travel brochure regurgitation. This is real-world, glitter-and-grim, "did I leave my charger?" kind of travelogue. And yes, I'll be screaming about the Wi-Fi a lot.
First Impressions: The "Ooh, Shiny!" Factor
Getting there was a breeze – accessibility is surprisingly good. The roads leading to Margaret River are smooth, even if my internal GPS (aka, the panic voice in my head) was screaming "ARE WE THERE YET?!" The car park (free, thank the heavens!) was right on-site, which, after a long drive, is a godsend. And the visuals? Stunning. Think lush greenery, that iconic West Australian light, and a general sense of…peace? Yeah, I needed that.
Accessibility Breakdown (Because I’m a Perfectionist, and Also, It Matters)
Let's be honest, finding truly accessible places can be a minefield. But Losari seemed to do a good job! Facilities for disabled guests are thoughtfully considered. I saw elevators (essential!), and I'm pretty confident the building is wheelchair-friendly. I didn’t specifically check every nook and cranny, but what I did see impressed me. I didn't utilize the airport transfer personally, but it's listed, which is a solid plus!
Rooms That Are Actually Comfortable (and Why That's Important)
Now, the rooms. Mine was… a sanctuary. I’m not usually one for gushing, but the air conditioning was a lifesaver. Seriously. The bed? Cloud-like. I slept like a log, which is a rare and beautiful thing. The blackout curtains? Genius. I'm a light sleeper, and I need my beauty sleep. Bonus points for the slippers (a small touch, but oh-so-appreciated), the bathrobes, and the complimentary tea. Okay, I had a little cry-worthy situation moment when I saw the extra-long bed… pure luxury! The Internet access – wireless was spot-on reliable, but the LAN Internet was a tad redundant, but still appreciated. (And, yes, the free Wi-Fi in all rooms is a HUGE deal for a workaholic like myself! I could actually work and relax!).
The Food (Because, Honestly, It's Half the Experience)
Okay, let's talk food. I'm a huge fan of the ability to order breakfast in room. Listen, sometimes you just need a lazy morning with coffee and the news (or, let's be honest, watching cat videos). The breakfast buffet looked amazing, too, with a huge variety of options. The Asian breakfast option? Tempting. The restaurants have coffee/tea in the restaurant and the poolside bar was a vibe. There are lots of restaurants available as well (with vegetarian restaurants listed), and the salad in restaurant looks nice. There are several items on the menu: A la carte in restaurant, buffet in restaurant, and desserts in restaurant. My tummy is rumbling at the memory of it all!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking, oh my!
The bar was tempting, but after a long day exploring, the thought of a cocktail poolside? Pure bliss. The Happy Hour was calling my name and they even have bottle of water available. A snack bar is in the hotel in case when I am traveling, I get hungry or need some refreshment. I didn't see any soup in restaurant, but I am pretty sure that I can order it, if need be. The 24-hour room service made my heart sing because, sometimes, a late-night snack is essential for the soul.
Things to Do, and, Oh, the Ways to Relax! (My Personal Paradise Found)
This is where Losari truly shines. The spa is a must-do. I'm not usually a "spa person," but even I was blown away. I’m not even a spa person! After that, I had to get a massage! The Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, and Spa/sauna was all so heavenly. I may have drooled a little during the Sauna. I also spent about an hour just staring at the Pool with view while my mind emptied.
Fitness Fanatic?
I'm not a full-on gym rat, but I do dabble. The Gym/fitness center was a welcome feature. I may have spent more time admiring my reflection in the mirror than actually working out, but hey, no judgment!
Cleanliness and Safety (Because the World, Sadly, Needs This Now)
Okay, let's talk practicalities. Losari clearly takes cleanliness and safety seriously. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Hand sanitizer everywhere! The room sanitization opt-out available is a nice touch for those who prefer to skip it. Seeing Staff trained in safety protocol gives you peace of mind. I was particularly pleased to see a First aid kit, Hot water linen and laundry washing and Safe dining setup.
Here's the part where I get SUPER excited about:
The swimming pool [outdoor]! Oh. My. God. I spent an entire afternoon floating there, gazing at the sky, and feeling utterly… serene. The steamroom added something extra.
Services and Conveniences (The Hidden Gems)
Losari isn't just about the big stuff. It's the little things that make a difference. The concierge was incredibly helpful. I can always rely on the daily housekeeping. I appreciate the Contactless check-in/out option and the Luggage storage. The gift/souvenir shop was ideal.
Things I Didn't Use (But Appreciated They Were There)
I didn't utilize the babysitting service (because I don’t have any kids), or the business facilities, but it’s reassuring to know those options are available. The shrine was a nice touch, even though I'm not particularly religious.
Quirks and Imperfections (Because No Place is Perfect)
Okay, here's the honest bit. I did encounter a minor hiccup. The lighting in my room could have been better. (First world problems, I know!). And, I wish the smoking area was further away from the pool (smoke drifting made me grumpy). And there was no pets allowed, which I was disappointed about because I missed my dog.
The Bottom Line: Should You Go? YES! (With a Caveat)
Losari Retreat is a haven. A true escape. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax and recharge. But here’s the caveat: this is a place to unplug (ironically, even with the good Wi-Fi). Leave your work at the door, embrace the slow pace of life, and allow yourself to be utterly blissed out.
My Final, Completely Unfiltered Recommendation:
Go. Book it. Now. You deserve this. This is not just a hotel; it's an experience.

Okay, hold onto your hat (preferably a wide-brimmed one, because sun, and because chic) because we're about to dive headfirst into a messy, glorious, and probably slightly wine-soaked tour of Losari Retreat in Margaret River. This isn't your pristine travel brochure itinerary. This is REAL LIFE, people. Prepare for:
The Losari Rumble: A Margaret River Adventure (That Probably Won't Go Exactly to Plan)
Day 1: Arrival & Wine-Induced Bliss (or The Great Suitcase Debacle)
Morning (Somewhere, probably stressed): Flight. The usual pre-holiday chaos of frantic packing (did I really need four pairs of sandals?), losing my passport for a solid five minutes (it was in my purse, obviously), and battling the internal monologue of "Did I leave the oven on?!" Honestly, this is just the warm-up to the holiday drama.
Afternoon (Eventually, hooray!): Touchdown in Perth. Rent-a-car pick-up (pray the navigation actually works this time). And then… the glorious drive to Margaret River. Honestly, just driving here is something special. The scenery? Stunning. The air? Fresh enough to practically drink. (Don't actually drink it. That's weird.)
- Anecdote: So, the suitcase. Packed it the night before, a masterpiece of organization, or so I thought. Unpacked it at the retreat, and you know what? Couldn't find my favorite pair of sunglasses! They're hidden somewhere, and that really irks me, because now I need to spend my life trying to find them.
Late Afternoon/Early Evening (Losari Retreat, at long last): Check-in. Breath. Oh, the smell of eucalyptus and something deliciously earthy. This place is immediately zen. (At least, it was, until the suitcase incident. Okay, back to chill.) Explore the grounds. The cabins look AMAZING. The infinity pool? Instagram gold.
- Quirky observation: Seriously, you could probably live in these cabins. They're like, designer treehouses for grown-ups. The only thing missing is a secret passage to a hidden champagne cellar… Maybe I'll suggest it. The bed looks comfy, and that is a huge plus.
Evening (Wine O'Clock Edition): Head to a local winery. Multiple local wineries, if I'm being honest. Margaret River wine is legendary for a reason. The chardonnay? Buttery, heavenly. The cab sav? Velvet on the tongue. Honestly, I'm practically levitating with happiness.
Emotional Reaction: Wine tasting. I get a little emotional when I get to taste wine.
Messy Structure: I'm thinking of trying to get drunk. I want to see the world through rose colored glasses. Why not?
Opinionated Language: The food situation? Perfect. Absolutely no complaints. The cheese? Unbelievable. The service? Impeccable. The whole experience? A solid ten out of ten. This is the life.
Real-Sounding Imperfection: Okay, maybe I overdid it on the wine. Feeling a little wobbly now. But hey, that's the point, right?
Day 2: Adventure & A (Potentially) Bad Idea
Morning (Alarm clock: the enemy): Okay, deep breaths. Must. Get. Up. After last night, this is a challenge. I think I'll have an extra cup of coffee.
Morning (Adventure Time): Beach hike. The coast here is dramatic. Cliffs, waves, the whole shebang. It's beautiful and the wind blowing on my face feels incredibly refreshing.
- Anecdote: I swear, the only downside to this place is that I will have to leave it.
Afternoon (The Bad Idea): Okay, so. I'm going to try surfing lessons. I haven't surfed since I was a teenager, and let's just say my balance isn't what it used to be. This could be a disaster.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: OMG, I'm terrified. But also, excited. Mixed feelings. Like a rollercoaster made of adrenaline and slightly damp neoprene.
Evening (Post-Surfing Debrief & Dinner): Survived surfing. Barely. More time spent in the water than on the water. Scraped my knee. Swallowed a mouthful of salty ocean. But, hey, I tried. Now, time to celebrate…with more wine, obviously. And a huge, delicious dinner. Re-caffeinate with some desserts, too.
Day 3: Relaxation & Farewell (Sob!)
Morning (Recovery Mode): Sleep in. Needed. Wake up to the sound of birds. Absolutely idyllic. Maybe I'll try to find my sunglasses.
Afternoon (Spa Day, baby!): Losari has a spa! Need I say more? Massage. Facial. Full relaxation. This is what holidays are for. Thinking of booking another one for tomorrow.
- Doubling Down: Seriously, the massage was the highlight. Each knot untangled, each tension released. My muscles melted. I think I may have drifted off. Best thing ever. (Okay, maybe tied with the wine, but it's close.)
Late Afternoon (Farewell Tour & Last Bites): One last wander around the grounds. Soaking it all in. This place… it's special. One last visit to my favorite spot (probably the pool). One last amazing meal with the most beautiful views, and savoring every bite.
Evening (Departure, with a tear in my eye): Back to the airport. The long flight home.
- Emotional Reaction: Ugh. I don't WANT to go. I could stay here forever. This is the best vacation ever. I'm going to be miserable back home.
Last Observation: Margaret River? Check. Losari Retreat? Double-check. My soul? Recharged. My suitcase? Still missing those sunglasses. But who cares? I've had the time of my life. Until next time, Margaret River…
Escape to Paradise: Losari Retreat Awaits - Uh, Is It REALLY Paradise Though? A FAQ (with a Side of Me Rambling)
1. Okay, So... Margaret River? I've Heard Things. Is Losari REALLY worth the hype, or is this just Instagram-fueled FOMO?
Alright, deep breaths. Margaret River. Gorgeous, yes. Overhyped? Possibly. Look, Losari... it's... tricky. Before I even *booked* I was already picturing myself, you know, *effortlessly* sipping a mimosa while gazing out at… *something* beautiful. The brochure photos are *slick*. So slick, I almost choked on my own anxiety. I mean, I hate booking things online, mostly because I'm terrible at reading small print. I almost clicked on a "non-refundable" option because I was too busy daydreaming about the spa (spoiler alert: the spa is amazing).
Worth the hype? Parts. The views? Stunning. The peace and quiet? Blissful. The sudden realization of how much laundry I *really* need to do when I got back? Less blissful. It’s… a mixed bag. Let's just say, it's not *quite* the utopia I'd imagined, but it's a darn good escape, especially if you're coming from, say, a city that breathes exhaust fumes. And yes, it's probably worth it. But temper your expectations. Think "gorgeous escape, not pure perfection." Understand? Good. Because I'm still processing it all myself.
2. Booking Process: Pain in the Butt or Smooth Sailing? (I’m Not Good at This.)
Oh, the booking. Alright, so… it *should* be smooth. The website looks pretty. But I, being the organizational disaster that I am, managed to get myself thoroughly confused about the dates *twice*. Seriously. I blame the wine I was drinking while browsing. (Note to self: don't plan vacations while tipsy.)
Their customer service, though? Surprisingly patient. I emailed them like, five times with increasingly panicked questions – stuff like, "Is parking free? (yes) And is there an actual *door* to my room? (duh)" They were really lovely, even when I felt like a total airhead. So... smooth-ish. Just triple-check the dates – and maybe lay off the Chardonnay *before* clicking "confirm."
3. Tell Me About the Rooms! Are They Actually as Luxurious as They Look? And Can I Finally Get a Good Night's Sleep?
The rooms… *oooh*, the rooms. The pictures showed plush pillows and sleek decor. And, I’m going to be honest, they're pretty darn good. Mine had THAT deck, that view, and a bathtub *you could actually swim in*. (Though I may have just been overly excited—and a bit sleep-deprived).
However, there were *minor* imperfections. Like, the placement of the power outlets. Totally not where I wanted them! And the Wi-Fi, at times, was about as reliable as a politician's promise. But overall? Yes, luxurious. And the bed? Heavenly. I actually slept through the entire first night – which is a rare feat for me. This is the good part. The *really* good part. Being able to just ...sleep. Bliss.
4. Pools, Spas, and Other Goodies: What's the Deal? Do I Need to Fight People for Sun Loungers?
Okay, the spa. *Gasp*. Pure heaven. I had a massage that… honestly, I can't remember much of it because I drifted off into a state of blissful nothingness. (Note: highly recommend the "Relax and Unwind" package. You. Need. It.) The pool situation, thankfully, was pretty chill. No Hunger Games-style scramble for sun loungers. There were plenty. And the pool itself? Infinity, overlooking the sea… yeah. I'll give it a massive thumbs up. The bar service was a little slow, however. It was a minor inconvenience, but those margaritas were worth the wait. Just a tiny, whiny little imperfection.
5. Food, Glorious Food! Is the Restaurant Worth It, or Should I Just Pack My Own Sandwiches?
The restaurant… alright, so I had both good and bad experiences. The breakfast was amazing. Seriously. Fresh fruit, pastries, the works. Coffee? Spot on. The dinners, however, were a mixed bag. I had one dish that sent me straight to food coma land (in a good way). Another dish, however... let's just say it wasn't *quite* as memorable. I’m not going to name names, but it involved a sauce that tasted suspiciously like, well, nothing much. I wouldn't recommend relying solely on the restaurant. Consider it a *supplement* to your own snacking adventures. Definitely pack some snacks or visit a local cafe!
6. Margaret River: Beyond the Retreat. What's There To See and Do? (Besides Drink Wine, Duh.)
Wine. Yes. Wine. It's a *thing* in Margaret River. But actually, there's more. Much more! The beaches are stunning, the forests are lush, and the caves… the caves are seriously impressive (and a bit creepy, if I'm honest). I did a wine tour (naturally), went surfing (badly, but at least I tried!), and explored some of the local shops. It's the perfect place to lose yourself in the beauty and escape the incessant need to scroll your phone. Though, admittedly, I scrolled my phone a little. (I'm not perfect, okay?)
7. Getting Around: Do I Need a Car, or Can I Survive On Public Transport? (Because, Let's Be Real, I Hate Driving.)
You NEED a car. Seriously. Unless you're planning on spending your entire holiday *in* the retreat (which would be a shame), you definitely need a set of wheels. Public transport is… well, I didn't see any. Walking everywhere is also out. Margaret River is spread out. This is a driving kind of place! Rent a car. Or, you know, start practicing your thumb hitchhiking skills (but maybe not).
8. So, Bottom Line: Would You Go Back? And is Losari Retreat Worth the (potentially hefty) Price Tag?
Okay, the verdict. The price tag… it's not cheap. Let's be bluntOcean By H10 Hotels
