Fantastic views from outside the property from the top of the hill. Lovely cozy home away from home. Well planned out. Very quiet, enough room for a family. Fantastic to being sleeping underground, as there were a few other places that weren’t underground.

Staying in Ali's Underground gives you a chance to tick this amazing experience off your Bucket List! With natural rock walls with many unique features, this Studio stands out from the rest. Fully self-contained, you will relax in a modern, clean yet full-of-character dugout. Live like the locals do! Temperatures all year around only vary underground from between 22-26 degrees, but in really hot summers, air con is provided to get the air circulating and also refresh you when coming in from the heat. With your personal 4 digit KeyCode, you can check in at any time 24/7 to this secure, peaceful and private spot with 180degree views out to the iconic BreakAways. All that's left to do is to drive safely and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Thanks for choosing Ali's Underground.

The Tourist Info Centre as you drive into town offers excellent support in planning your adventure each day. Free Underground museums/displays are found at the Desert Cave and Umoona Museum, both in the main street. Opal shops abound on both sides of Hutchison Street and each as very different. A must is a visit to the Serbian Church - make sure to switch the lights on at the front to the left of the stained glass + venture upstairs to find another carving in the wall past the baptismal and get a stunning view back down on the carvings at the front. Ali's Underground is right above the Catacomb Church. Take a tour there and go right up to the wooden cross and 'look up' to see how far underground you actually are! These, and the Catholic Church are all open 24/7 for you to enjoy. A drive out to the beautiful BreakAway Park is best in the mornings by heading (have the sun on your back for best views) towards Oodnadatta then turning left through the BreakAways and along the Dog Fence. The second lookout, just down a track to the right of the big first one, will take your breath away. If you're heading north afterwards, keep driving west to the Stuart Highway.

There was nothing we didn’t like. We just weren’t sure how to get hot water in the kitchen sink as the pipe wasn’t attached. We may have been doing something wrong but it was easy to just boil the jug as it was right there.
