Carpe Diem: luxury retreat with treetop deck views. Outdoor Spa! Close to beach
Carpe Diem is a spacious and very 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 property is really well equipped and offers something for everyone: a heated outdoor spa; guest wi-fi; second TV/games room downstairs; fantastic kitchen upstairs plus a handy kitchenette downstairs; small 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.
The stylish open-plan living area plus two main king bedrooms and their bathrooms are on the top level. The two remaining bedrooms, bathroom, combined laundry/kitchenette and separate TV/games room are on the bottom level.
Please bring your own beach towels for use at the spa.

Thank you, Paige. It was a pleasure to have you all stay. Please come again soon. Regards, Vicki at Down South Holidays
Nestled in yallingup jusr a short walk to caves house, the general store and bakery. This house provided the perfect place for a family getaway. Loved it
Absolutely loved this house, so clean, easy to communicate with the owners, everything we needed was at the house, close to the beach and town. Enjoyed the wildlife at our doorstep. Will definitely be back again.
The property is in walking distance to Yallingup beach and well located to visit nearby wineries, beaches, caves. It has spacious living areas and bedrooms and the spa is a real bonus. The nearby Caves Hotel had music on Frida and Sat nights and is quite loud. Otherwise a perfect location
The house was well set out, clean, comfortable had everything we could want. Suited our extended family needs well with both adult and children spaces, 4 well appointed bedrooms and great cooking facilities. Washing machine and drier (essential for stays with kids) were easy to use and aporeciated. The hot tub was a nice addition - clean and ready to use! Location is great! Short walk down a dedicated pathway to the beach and to caves house. We will book again!
Great place to stay, close to bakery, Caves hotel and convenient store & a short walk to the beach. House has everything you need, very clean and tidy & big enough for 8 adults. Great location to visit winery's. Will definitely be back again.

Great location & very well presented & comfortable house. Close to beach & pub & beautiful Yallingup Hotel gardens.
All modern appliances in good working order. Fans in bedrooms need adjusting as they are loose & rattle @ higher speeds.
