Carpe Diem: Family Favourite in Yallingup
+ Wood fire.
+ An easy 35min drive to the Busselton Margaret River Airport. STRA6282ZRHLUBTX
Carpe Diem is a spacious and beautiful holiday home that's close to Yallingup's famous beach and stunning coastline.
NOTE: Spa is out of order and undergoing maintenance during May 2026.
The two-storey home is really well equipped and offers something for everyone: a heated outdoor spa; guest wi-fi; separate TV room for the teenagers; fantastic kitchen upstairs plus a small kitchenette downstairs; and a small area of lawn for the little kids.
We love the treetop views, two luxurious king bedroom suites and the comfort of air-conditioning in summer and the option to crank up the wood fire in winter.
Located in the small Caves Ridge Estate holiday precinct, Carpe Diem makes quite a contemporary statement as it borders the stunning gardens and grounds of historic Caves House Hotel.
The stylish open-plan living area plus two main bedrooms, each with a bathroom, are on the top level. The two remaining bedrooms, bathroom, combined laundry/kitchenette and separate TV room are on the bottom level.
