    Nothing. Although a tea towel would be helpful and more paper towel was needed but that’s it.

    Everything. We loved that so much heart and soul by the owners went into the creation of these gorgeous dug out units. From building it to designing and making the furniture, to the little quality touches like the beautiful toiletries and Sheridan sheets, to a laundry service and the fabulous outdoor fire pit and more.

    I literally cannot find fault with the dug out. The hosts are wonderful people and the property is awesome.

    Everything was top notch. Mick and Irene are phenomenal hosts. Kind and attentive with great suggestions for activities to do in Coober Pedy. The accommodation itself is spectacular and very unique: a home dug into the side of a hill is not something you see every day! The interior is really something. It's incredibly spacious and dug directly into the rock. You can see veins of gypsum and opal running along the walls, as well as a mine tunnel above. There are holes for explosives and also holes drilled into the rock that serve as stashes for wine bottles. The furniture is almost all hand made as well. The rooms are kept at a very comfortable 20-22 degrees c, owing to the nature of the dugout. Mick and Irene have put a lot of thought and effort into the whole experience and it shows. There is a full kitchen and a fridge stocked with fresh bread, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, milk, juice, and water as well as butter and margarine. There is an honor bar with beer and wine with reasonable payment suggestions as well as complimentary port - a nice touch. Also if you don't want to deal with car rental from the airport, they have at least one 4x4 that they will loan out for very reasonable price. Location is also very convenient, about 6 minutes drive from the main street as well as to the airport. There are also some roos that like to hang out on the property! They're quite used to people and can be seen on the ridge right by the parking area every morning. I think the dug out b&b is an excellent choice for anyone visiting coober pedy, whether it's a family holiday, romantic getaway, or a road trip with friends. Do make sure you check out the night sky and sunrise/set while you're there. They are breathtaking. PS: i don't have any pictures of the interior because i made a huge video and i can't grab screenshots right now. It's truly beautiful and honestly photos don't do it justice.

    This is hands down the best accommodation we’ve stayed in. A stunning oasis in the desert. Mick & Irene are lovely people who have created a beautiful home away from home. A labour of love built by Mick over 5 years. Very cleverly done. Extremely spacious there’s plenty of room. You don’t feel claustrophobic as they’ve managed to incorporate a light feel into a luxury dugout. There’s everything you need to cook your meals including a bbq & fire pit (which we cooked potatoes in). Plenty of delicious food provided for your breakfast. If you can drag yourself out of the comfy beds try to get up to see the sunrise one morning. Highly recommended

    My only concern and this is a minor one is the lack of high speed internet. Cellular services in Outback Australia are nothing like they are in big population centres and signal strength can very dramatically between locations only a few metres apart. Being underground adds to the challenge of getting a good signal. We had no issues with voice calls but don’t expect to stream a movie or play online games while staying at this property.

    This is a place perfectly in tune with its surroundings and a wonderful introduction to the joys of underground living. Extremely well appointed and spacious it is a stunning contrast to the post apocalyptic landscape that characterises most of the surrounding area. I can’t imagine a better place to stay on a road trip through Central Australia.

Extremely clean and homely and the owners were friendly and informative, ensuring our stay was perfect. Great place to stay if you're wanting the underground feeling which is Coober Pedy. Highly recommend!
