We stayed at Yalgardup for 17 nights for a working holiday, and it was the very last word in cosy. Everything is so well thought out, beautifully set up, with lots of little touches. It's simple and rudimentary, and that is reflected in the very reasonable price, but incredibly comfortable and cosy. We didn't want to leave.
I can't overstate how beautiful the garden and courtyard we looked out into was, with an outdoor sitting area under what was a type of rare pear tree. And I also can't overstate how beautiful the immediate area is, with beautiful Marri and Jarrah Forrests you can go and walk in just at the end of the drive. It's only a very pleasant 30 minute walk into Margaret River Village.
We loved the (extremely) minor inconvenience of having to go out and round the corner for the toilet and bathroom. That might bother some people, but for us it added to the charm and sense of adventure that being on holiday should have. There is wildlife all around, so if you don't like birds squabbling and visiting the orchard trees in the garden, or catching a glimpse of shy black skinks, or the eerie frog choir that sings nightly in the nearby swap area, then this place isn't for you.
For us, this place was ideal. I worked most of the day in the little flat, but it's so close to wineries that we could slip off for lunch, or end the day a little early and head to Surfers Point or Rivermouth, where we caught a bit of the Maragret River classic, or went for long wanders next to the awesome wave breaks along the beach and reefs. It was just two of us initially, but we were joined by a couple and a single so those extra bedrooms got used as well, and we were all extremely comfortable.
In short, this place was incredibly gorgeous, our hosts had gone above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable, and is outstanding value. I'd go back in a heart beat, and frankly didn't want to leave.
