If you are down in Dunsborough, it is not far to Yallingup and just before you get there is the Caves House Hotel. I cannot recall the last time I was at the Caves House Hotel, but I recall I had a gallbladder operation the next day.

I remember copping an absolute spray from the anesthetist, he was complaining he couldn’t call me for a consult before going under. Even worse, he was unhappy he could not find a vein to give me the knockout juice.

My excuse was I had to fast for 24 hours, he informed me this didn’t include fluids but I already knew that. I was hungover, it was that simple. We had headed southerly on Saturday morning that involved a stay down at Caves House in Yallingup. They have a wonderful beer garden where live bands play, we had been around the Margaret River wine region tasting wines for the weekend having a good time. Not really the greatest pre-op preparation, but the weekend away down the Caves House Hotel was worthwhile regardless of the spray I received.
