Dugout stay
We loved our stay at Coober Pedy. It was great to experience what it was like to stay in a dugout. Dean was super helpful on the local sites and overall Cooper Pedy information. The dugout was clean & spacious.

Fantastic experience
Our stay was fantastic we enjoy every minute from the moment we have been welcome by Dean (very lovely man). The location - you couldn't ask for better, you did watch sunset from the property having glass of wine you couldn't ask for any more. Eva/Dean, thanks for your hospitality we will be back.

Absolutely loved it
We had the most amazing time in this house. The house was spotless and all the amenities we needed for a comfy stay. Dean, the manager, was a wonderful host - full of advice and very friendly. But the most amazing part of the house is Dean's beautiful garden. After a big day with three kids in the dirt returning to this oasis under the verandah was perfect. We strongly recommend this house to anyone looking for a safe, clean and lovely place in Coober Pedy.

Stayed for two nights and couldn't have wished for a better place than the "Gem". Friendly & helpful. Great location living amongst the locals. Safe. Tidy and spaceful home. I'd recommend for anyone wishing to visit Coober Pedy to stay here!
