The Neighborhood:
Yallingup is an absolute mecca for visitors wishing to enjoy the true South West coastal lifestyle; if the water calls your name, look no further than this small but vibrant settlement on the Western side of Cape Naturaliste. A serious surfing hotspot, Yallingup is abuzz every morning with people eagerly pulling on their wetsuits, grabbing their boards and paddling out. Despite its size, the township is home to a number of awesome local businesses, including a pub (Caves House Hotel), general store & cafe, bottle shop, German bakery (Yallingup Gugelhupf), high end seafood restaurant/casual brekkie spot (Lagoon) and of course a shop for all of your surfing and seafaring needs! If you need more shops and amenities, Dunsborough is just a 10 minute drive away, and there are heaps more restaurants, cafes, wineries and breweries just on your doorstep. If you are in search of some different activities, you can walk a section of the Cape to Cape, visit Ngilgi Cave (just 5 minutes away), or Yallingup Maze.
It's not just about summer here, despite its popularity thanks to the glorious weather; all year round, even when we may be less blessed with warm days and sunny skies, visitors can enjoy hikes, biking, surfing, off-roading, horse riding, cave tours, water sports, fishing, wine and beer tasting, and generally eating and drinking one's way around the area! Visit in spring to catch the whale migration and wild flower season, or in autumn to enjoy quieter beaches and excellent surf.
Please see the Guidebook for our personal recommendations on where to eat, drink, shop and what to see & do in this fabulous region. This list is by no means exhaustive, however, so please get in touch if you need any pointers ahead of your stay.
The Margaret River Wine Region is one of the most prestigious winemaking areas in the world. Considered a “boutique” region, production is relatively small and quality-focused. The unique microclimates and fabulous soils here mean that producers are able to make some of the world’s best Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with a host of other single varietal and blend wines; most wineries will have a good selection of options, including various sparkling wines, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz if the flagship varieties aren’t your cup of tea. Many of these wineries are also home to phenomenal restaurants, and your dining options will range from full tasting menus to casual pizzas or grazing boards. If you have any particular restaurant on your wish list, we strongly recommend booking ahead all year round. In peak summer season (December-February), bookings are essential and may need to be made several weeks or months in advance. Please contact us directly if you would like tailored recommendations for your self-guided winery and/or brewery tour. If you have time, we highly recommend buying a ticket onto one of the many locally operated winery and brewery tour buses, for an unforgettable day out of excellent food and drink.
