This area is a bit of a hotel desert - nothing I would call deluxe. A good option for leisure is the boutique sized The Richardson Hotel & Spa, with ex-Four Seasons GM Andrew Farnfield. Think they've been refurbishing it recently, too.
The Empire Retreat & Spa is simple but good in Margaret River and it has a really good spa.
