Carpe Diem: Family Favourite in Yallingup
+ Wood fire.

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.

DIRECT BOOKING CANCELLATIONS and DATE CHANGES
The following is applicable to guests who have booked direct only via the Down South Holidays website and not via a third-party booking channel.

Furthermore, you are liable to make the full payment (ie. balance owing) if your booking is less than 28 days from arrival date.
In the event of cancellation, and with reasonable notice, Down South Holidays will strive to re-book the property to others. Should a refund
