Fill your stomach
We love spending our mornings at Lagoon Yallingup with some scrumptious breakfast paired with strong brews. You can take your meals to go or eat inside all throughout lunch.
Just remember that too much coffee can stain your teeth. You might want to check with a dentist for the best ways to keep your smile sparkling white.
We also suggest trying the fresh seafood choices. You may need a strong stomach for octopus dishes though, so check with your gastroenterologist if your tummy is strong enough.
For woodfired pizzas baked to perfection, we suggest Swings & Roundabouts. We won’t blame you if you finish the whole pie in one sitting!
Casina Dunsborough is a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with dishes that will take you to Northern Africa and Southern Italy. We suggest sampling the braised beef cheek for lunch or dinner.
If you’re in the mood for some degustation meals, try Wills Domain and try out their brilliant reinventions of classic dishes. You can even try out their wines from their extensive list.
Cheese and Wine
Cheese and wine go exceptionally well together. Visit Yallingup Cheese Company as well as Goons Tycoons Wines to taste what both companies offer.
Studies say that a bit of wine daily is good for the heart. If you’re not sure, check with a cardiologist!
Drop by Aravina Estate, Cape Naturaliste Vineyard, and Clairault Streicker if you love wines. Wise Wine, near Eagle Bay, offers samples of their homemade distilled gin aside from offering their selection of wines.
Brew by Brew
The Caves House offers pizzas, buffalo chicken wings, and nachos to your pint. The live music brings a festive atmosphere to the casual, relaxing environment.
Beer lovers unite! Wild Hop Brewing Company has a laidback vibe to showcase its unique batches of beer to pair with their famous rotisserie chicken with sides of fresh salads and salsa verde.
Explore Ngilgi Cave
Ngilgi Cave can be explored with a guide by going on a semi-guided exploration tour. Take your own time to admire the fascinating rock formations and embedded crystals in the million-year-old limestone cave.
By the time you’re done, we’re sure you’re ready to visit more places again! Just be sure to walk around safely to keep your podiatrist happy.
Discover the Beaches
Swim, snorkel, or sunbathe in the crystal clear waters of Smiths Beach. If it’s too isolated or too crowded for you, you still have Yallingup Beach and Yallingup Lagoon to explore.
Listen to your dermatologist and rub in some sunscreen while at the beach. If three beaches aren’t enough, try Eagle Bay, Castle Rock Bay, and Point Piquet.
Staycation
160 Steps is your perfect beach getaway. They say you need to take 160 steps to get to the beach, so try to count them if the story is true.
The beach house has two bedrooms, each with mattresses that won’t make your chiropractor complain.
Stay at the dog-friendly Petra Olive Oil Estate for some rest and relaxation. While at it, browse through their gift shops that offer skincare and extra virgin olive oils.
If camping is your style, you can glam it up by going to the Yallingup Spa Retreat. The OM Day Spa, on-site swimming pool, and stately pine trees help you find the inner peace you won’t find in the city.
The Petit Eco Cabin is your perfect romantic getaway cabin. Enjoy being under eucalyptus trees that shelter the rustic tub while the lake across inspires your inner tranquility.
