    Unique experience staying in a dugout. Comfortable accommodation with lots of personal touches to make it feel more like a home than a hotel.

    The dugout is beautifully appointed with absolutely everything we needed for a stay in Coober Pedy. It is cozy and homely. Just a delightful experience. The hot spa was wonderful to soak in after a day exploring.

    Pedestal fans would have been a good thing in the bedrooms , the ceiling fans were very noisy too sleep with. and the aircon needs the filter cleaned as wasn’t blowing out cold air. Chlorine in the spa was very strong hurt your eyes and bleached our clothes. House was fully equipped with everything you needed really enjoyed our visit with them.

    I booked and paid the price to stay at a place with a spa/jacuzzi and Internet. These 2 items were the differential that made me pay more and choose the place, however the internet wasn't working and the jacuzzi/spa was only present on the photos of the Booking.com.

    The space is beautiful and well furnished.

    Very hot inside as there was only one aircon that didn't really but it was the middle of summer.

    Great experience staying underground. Great location. Pretty clean. We have stayed here before but booked on a different site. It is MUCH better then the photos look.
