About this property
Stunning LIGHT FILLED UNDERGROUND Retreat - Earthworm House - Dugout - spacious!
The most light filled dugout you'll ever see!!
THE biggest dugout you will find!! - beautiful rock and ultimate safe and private location.
HUGE WEEKLY & MONTHLY DISCOUNTS... set up for Artist retreats, family longer stays, working holidays, work trips too.
*THE NUMBER 1 CHOICE FOR FILM CAST AND CREW*
It has the most stunning machine and artistry cut carved walls, high ceilings, and Opal & Potch to be found hidden in every room. We are only 4kms from the main town strip, so we are in a very safe and secure part of town; both structural and security.
It's a very special dugout, some say it's one of the best in town!
Light filled, large and very comfortable. The temperature may be 6 days of over 45 degrees (as it is right now while I'm typing this) ... BUT INCREDIBLY the inside of the house is a pleasant 23-24 degrees!! - it's not at all stuffy, the air is fresh and stone filtered. It's just perfect temperature ALL YEAR ROUND!! - we do have an air conditioner, but it's really just so people who don't believe us feel secure. You don't really get the true Coober Pedy Underground Living experience if you don't trust me. You'll never feel a place Welcome you inside, like a dugout does on a hot day! The other great thing about this dugout is its fully enclosed, bug and fly free, outdoor entertaining and BBQ area.
Our house is located right in the main route of our local Kangaroos and Emus... follow their them or their tracks up to the roof (top of the hill) for spectacular sunset (or sunrise) views.
PLENTY of Car and Van (campers, trucks, etc) space.
*Occasionally some may find dugouts uncomfortable, especially the small hand cut, or busy and cramped ones, may be hard to go in... this one however has made even the worst claustrophobic at ease and safe.
We are super family friendly and have everything you need to just relax and let the kids (of all ages) do their thing... with you or safely away from you too.
We do allow dogs, but you'll need to let me know when you book: As there are some important hygene guidelines.
This dugout is uniquely situated and dug to allow phone reception from almost all parts of the house, including deep inside which is extremely rare for dugouts, but handy for busy people still needing there reception and internet... note this only applies to Telstra & Optus customers. - there is no wifi at the property.
We are in the "Safest" (and most beautiful) part of town... is what I'm told, and I'm inclined to agree with. The space here is spectacular... views everywhere you look, and plenty of space to feel the freedom of being in such a uniquely stunning and beautiful location. It's quiet, calm and has plenty of local Emu's and Kangaroos visiting.
This place is best suited to people who are driving. You can hire cars at the airport and locally, but as there's no reliable Taxi or Uber service in town you will need to arrange things. I can however organise my cleaner (house manager) to arrange pick up/drop (even babysitting) if you want to arrange a lift - to pay a small fee directly to her.
The most incredible secret about Coober Pedy is actually how incredibly friendly the locals are.
