It’s Better by the Beach in Yallingup

Relax and unwind in your spacious apartment overlooking the beautiful gardens of Caves House Hotel.

Enjoy our unique resort style apartments, just a stroll from the beach

Yallingup is one of the Margaret River region’s best-kept secrets but we’re happy to share some insider info with you on our little piece of paradise!

Long-known by surfers as one of the best beach breaks in Australia, Yallingup’s history is also recorded in Aboriginal culture. Seashells Yallingup is set within the beautiful gardens of the heritage-listed Caves House Hotel and Yallingup Beach is just a 10-minute stroll away through the lush gardens and down a pretty walk trail. We’re an easy three-hour drive south of Perth.

Part of Yallingup’s beauty is its peaceful charm. There’s no major town centre – just a friendly general store, German bakery, and casual café on the beach along with Caves House. It’s a place to rewind and enjoy the beach, bush and bounties of local producers. Guests can enjoy a beer or pub lunch on the deck at Caves House, or in the art deco lounge by the fire on colder days, without the need to hop in the car. But venturing out ‘down south’ is also a great option with some of the region’s best wineries, restaurants and stunning beaches within easy reach.

Tourists first came to Yallingup well over 100 years ago on horse and cart to visit the Ngilgi Cave, which is a short bush walk from our property and provides a variety of guided tours. Ten minutes away is the stylish but relaxed holidaymakers’ town of Dunsborough with a range of facilities, cafes, bars, great boutiques and surf shops.

Margaret River township is a 45-minute drive south via Caves Road – but you’ll be hard-pressed not to stop several times along the way for wine or beer-tasting, family attractions, food sampling or a long lunch.

Do holidaying your own way

After a big day out at the wineries, breweries or attractions, it's lovely to be able to relax in your apartment, prepare a platter in your kitchen using the goodies you've collected during the day from local providores and relax on the balcony, or in front of the TV. Catch a movie or your team's footy game, or if the weather's nice, there's free guest barbecues, or just enjoy a palate cleanser at Caves House!
