About this property

Malalooka - located at Yallingup

Literally across the road from pristine Yallingup Beach this unique A-frame cottage with open plan living and huge loft bedroom has a charm and energy that endears itself to everyone. With stained glass windows and new luxurious carpet this studio chalet provides the perfect place to get away with your partner or young family. The sleeping arrangements are as follows:- one queen size bed and 2 single beds in one large loft bedroom. Please note, we do NOT accept leavers.


To keep your cost down we do not automatically provide linen on the beds but give you the option to bring your own. We do provide doonas in doona covers, pillows in protectors and mattress protectors but you will need top and bottom sheets for a queen and two single beds, pillowcases and all towelling (bath, hand, tea and beach towels plus bath mat)
If required a full linen service can be provided by a professional laundry for an additional $100 and although this includes bath towels it does not include beach towels so please do remember to bring them. With the beach 50 metres away you will need them! Please note to keep cleaning fees down we do not make up the beds but can organise this for an extra $30 should you wish. We are currently charged $68 per hour by our cleaners and they would make the beds up.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Ideal location for beach/ dog lovers, as Malalooka is directly opposite the dog beach. Cute, cozy and completely independent little loft home with everything that a person needs for a short term stay. Love the homey touch of the huge book collection and placement of soft eucalyptus scented tissues in the bathroom, bedroom and living area.

An amazing dog friendly stay right by Yalls beach but tucked away from the shops and car park so its lovely and peaceful. You can stroll to the dog beach, lagoon, and up to Caves House for coffee, a visit to the bakery, or a pint in the afternoon sun.

Malalooka is a very cute cottage steps from the beach ideal for the budget conscious - nothing too fancy. Note that the 2 single beds are in the same room as the queen bed. All beds were super comfortable and the upstairs space and stained glass windows are incredible!

Beautiful cosy little place, loved it

Great place, would happily stay here again, very comfy bed, walking distance to beach/national park. No washing machine but owners let me use their one up at the house, which was very handy. Lots of books if you like to read!

Mid-week beach escape

We recently stayed with our golden retriever, and found the place to be a perfect little base camp right next to the beach. Kitchen fully equipped, plenty of space inside the house and prime location - 100m from a beach track! We loved being in Yallingup, a short drive to lots of sights to explore and dog-beaches and breweries to hop between. Would love to get back there again asap!

Fantastic location. Furnishings and kitchen items are a bit tired but it’s a cosy and comfortable little cottage. One minute to the beach and an easy walk to cave house and general store. Really convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Antonia Wise

Host profile image

Originally from London I have lived in Australia for over 35 years when I moved here to marry my Aussie husband. I love anything outdoors - snorkelling, surfing, walking/hiking, tennis, golf, cycling, gardening. I love being a host and hearing other people's stories and sharing this special place with them.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming here since I first arrived in Australia as my husband's family bought land down here in 1991. As a family we love the ocean and the landscape and make the most of it surfing, snorkelling, diving, fishing, hiking, cycling and mountain biking. It helps that the area is amazing for food and wine too!

What makes this property unique

Originally built as an art studio our cottage has real charm and character in a good way. We are also literally 2 minutes walk to the beach which makes going to and from the ocean for a dip really easy!
