We loved our stay in Kerris Dugout!!! We were there for 3 nights and fell in love with Coober Pedy too. The dugout is very well located and lots of sites are walkable but a car I needed to get around town.The Dugout is authentic, clean and well equipped, comfortable and fun! Host Kerri was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with providing heaps of information and hints. Highly recommend!!!

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.
