About

Overview & Vibe

A heritage hotel built in 1903 above the surf at Yallingup, set in 1.8 hectares of manicured gardens and historic lawns that reach towards the ocean. It notes that in the language of the Wadandi people, Yallingup is said to mean “a place of love”.

Setting & Style

The signature spot is the Emily Rose Terrace — vows “under the canopy of our beautiful Morton Bay Fig Trees”, among tropical palms and roses. Beyond it: the 1903 Heritage Gardens, the Emily Rose Lawn for a marquee, the art-deco Yallingup Room, and The Homestead, an early-1900s cottage with valley views towards the Ngilgi Caves.

Ideal For

Couples who want ceremony, reception and beds in one heritage property a few minutes from the surf, with the option of a garden, a marquee or a grand old room.

The Need-to-Knows

Five named wedding spaces, and the hotel says outright that the website shows “only a small sample of the venue spaces on offer”.
The Injidup Room is the wet-weather plan — if you book an outdoor ceremony, that is where it moves.
No capacity or pricing is published. Everything goes through the functions manager by email.
Accommodation is on site in two forms — the heritage hotel and the separate Homestead.
It is a working pub with a bar, restaurant and live music every day of the week.

Standout Feature

Vows under a Moreton Bay fig, in gardens that have been there since 1903.

Price Notes

NO CAPACITY AND NO PRICING ARE PUBLISHED ANYWHERE. There is no per-head rate, room hire, minimum spend or guest number on any wedding page, and the only PDF on the domain is a buffet breakfast menu. Everything runs through one person: 'Please contact our wonderful functions manager via email to book a meeting. functions@ychh.com.au'
THE HOTEL STATES ITS OWN LISTING IS INCOMPLETE, which is unusually candid and worth passing on: 'Please note; Our website only contains a small sample of the venue spaces on offer at Caves House. Please contact our functions manager directly if you would like to learn more.' So the five named spaces below are a subset.
FIVE RECEPTION SPACES ARE NAMED. 'The Emily Rose Terrace: Celebrate with your loved ones under the canopy of our Morton Bay Fig trees, enveloped by tropical palm gardens and blooming roses... Choose from the beautiful open-air cocktail reception or the intimate and formal sit-down celebration.' 'The Emily Rose Lawn: Nestled among the Heritage-listed Gardens and exquisitely manicured lawns... the perfect romantic setting for a dreamy garden-style or marquee reception.' 'The Homestead, a secluded, cottage-style building dating back to the early 1900s... With a large private lawn, spacious decking area, and breathtaking views overlooking the surrounding valley, it provides glimpses of the majestic Ngligi Caves.' 'The Yallingup Room is a grand, art-deco style heritage-listed space that boasts exclusive access to The Yallingup Terrace with garden views and the vintage-styled Ngilgi Room when booked for your special day.' 'The Injidup Room... perfect for smaller intimate winter weddings or rainy days.'
RECEPTION FORMATS ARE DESCRIBED WITHOUT PRICES: 'From dreamy picnics in the gardens to cocktails & canapes under the stars, a soiree in the heritage-listed Hotel or long table dining under an elegant marquee, Caves House truly has it all.' Elsewhere the options are listed as 'Picnics in the Garden', 'Grazing Tables' and 'Cocktails & Canapes'.
A NUMBER ON THE HISTORY PAGE IS NOT A CAPACITY. The hotel's history page says 'It was a two-story timber building with an iron roof. The hotel could accommodate up to 24 guests, including nine single rooms, three double bedrooms' - THAT DESCRIBES THE ORIGINAL 1903 BUILDING and is not a modern wedding or accommodation figure. Recorded here so no future pass mistakes it for one (§72).
IT IS A WORKING PUB AS WELL AS A WEDDING VENUE: 'With a fully operational bar & restaurant and live music every day of the week, it is the ultimate hub of entertainment in the South West.' Worth asking how public trade and live music interact with a wedding booking.
THE OPERATING COMPANY IS NAMED IN THE FOOTER: 'Cultural Icon Pty Ltd trading as Caves House Hotel Yallingup'. Checked against rule 8 - this is a single-venue operating entity rather than a hotel group brand, and the venue trades on its own domain.
AN AWARD IS CLAIMED AND DATED: 'In 2023, Caves House Hotel achieved a 5 star rating and certificate of excellence from Easy Weddings Australia.'
THE FUNCTIONS MANAGER IS NAMED REPEATEDLY IN THE VENUE'S OWN PUBLISHED TESTIMONIALS as Joyce, with couples crediting her for coordination - useful context for a first enquiry, though testimonials are the venue's own selection.
NO STRUCTURED PRICING DATA - the ld+json blocks on the site describe live-music Events, not wedding offers.
