I first heard of Coober Pedy on social media, for its underground homes When I checked on the map where it was, and realized it was on the way from Adelaide to Uluru, I decided to stop there for the night, and to do so in an underground home I checked what were the options, and Di's place quickly appeared to me as the best one I contacted her, she was super responsive, and friendly. She warned me she wouldn't be in town and so wouldn't be able to meet, but would love chat and give me a rundown on the dugouts and the town must sees, and I immediately felt I had made the right choice (to be noted, even if she is not home, and can't chat with you beforehand, she has a well made booklet waiting for you that will tell you all) When I arrived I got welcomed by a friend of hers, who helped me enjoy my time in town even more The place is unique, for being a dugout, bringing the benefit of underground homes for the temperatures, while you still get some daylight coming in from one side It is huge, with a patio, 3 bedrooms (with comfortable beds), 2 bathrooms (one with direct access from the bedroom, the other one featuring a spa), a kitchen, a living room... It is well equipped, with lots of kitchen appliances (including fridge, microwaves, oven, burner, teapot, coffee machine, toaster), washing machine, TV, books, boardgames... Wifi works really well By the way, I originally was gonna spend only a night there, but Di convinced me it would be better to spend another one, to spend a full day in town to explore it, and I'm so glad I did, as there's much to see: Old Timers Mine & Museum, churches (including the Serbian one), Crocodile Harry's Underground Nest, Breakaways, a kangaroo orphanage, an aboriginal art and artefacts, opal shops... Actually, in the end I would have even liked to stay a 3rd night, but it was then already booked In short: a great town, a great home, a great host So, my recommendation, don't miss your chance, stop in Coober Pedy, book this place, and do so as soon as you can to make sure it's available for your time in town (and don't hesitate to take an extra night)
