Yallingup is one of the Margaret River region’s best-kept secrets. 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.

Part of Yallingup’s beauty is its peaceful charm. 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.

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.
