Stunning Dugout/Cave
Our underground home is set in the desert town of Cooper Pedy - renovated and loved, the property has a stunning outlook and an above ground deck to watch the stars and sunsets and is beautifully appointed on the in. Originally my fathers place, a young man from Ireland, who set out to make his fortune in the Outback mining for Opal - a story told over and over again of adventure, dust, heat and hope!

Cancelled on the day of booking
When arrived to property, there was no given instructions how to check-in even tho I've sent a few emails prior. After a few calls, host said sorry, but property is booked. Host tried to find another place, but all motels/hotels were full because it's xmas/nye period. Would not trust this host.

Unique experience
Staying in this underground home felt like being in a Fintstone cartoon, but without the dinosaur under the sink eating the rubbish!
It was a lovely consistent temperature after the heat and it was beautifully finished and furnished.
There was everything we needed to cook a meal and we appreciated the list of local tours we could do.

We spent two nights in this unique underground location. Neighbor Bob greeted us and was interesting to talk to. Great wifi. The temperature outside was 44 degrees when we were there but our rooms remained cool.
