Di’s place was exactly what we were looking for in Coober Pedy, quirky, clean and a dug out. The property is well located, and was the highlight of our holiday. It was exceptionally clean, had awesome facilities- even had icey poles for the kids! It was 40degrees outside but nice and cool inside! Di sent a text in the morning making dinner suggestions, and even came and said hello! Loved it, we will be back!

Laura Australia

Maha Australia

Di was very friendly and responsive prior to our arrival. She even had the fire going when we arrived! The home was very comfy and spacious.

Robyn Australia

Di's Place is very well set-up, clean and comfortable. We loved the warm cosy dugout, comfortable beds, laundry and cooking facilities, and all the extras to make our stay very enjoyable. Plenty of parking for our 2 vehicles and trailer. Di is very friendly and helpful- she greeted us, telling us about her home and giving suggestions for our stay in Coober Pedy. Thoroughly recommend, and we hope to return some day.

Robert Australia

The bathrooms were amazing and the patio was a great space for having a bbq and putting out washing to dry overnight. The kids loved having the wifi and Netflix. Di is a great host and we felt safe here. Highly recommended place to stay in Coober Pedy

Great place to stay in Coober Pedy. Fantastic house and Di is a wonderful host. Would recommend anyone going to Coober Pedy to stay at Di's place. The house is fully equipped with everything you need, just like home.

Lou Australia

What didn’t we like, nothing actually as we loved it!!! Booked 2 nights and extended by an extra 2 nights as we really don’t want to leave. Very unique and just a stunning place to stay, everything perfect and so many small extra little thoughtful details. Super comfy beds, just feels like we are right at home and Di is the most wonderful host nothing is too much trouble, very knowledgeable and helpful with info on the local area. Super friendly, feel like we were coming to visit an old friend, one who we hope to stay in contact with! Would highly recommend this place to everyone and well worth the trip from anywhere just to come and stay here. Best accomodation we’ve ever stayed in and I’ve travelled many places both here and overseas! Can’t fault a thing 😍

LIVE LIKE THE LOCALS, UNDERGROUND AND PEACEFUL. Welcome to our beautiful home. Relax after a long journey in comfortable, quiet serenity of underground accommodation. Our home was hand dug in the 70's and is renowned for its rock and timber work. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful dugouts in Coober Pedy, it exudes a lovely atmosphere with each weave and turn throughout. Purchased in 1997 it has been an ongoing love project of improving and upkeep. Roomy with 3 bedrooms, a large lounge, living area, complete kitchen, 1 bathroom (2nd b/room available by end November) sleeps 9, linen included, BBQ area, internet, spa bath, ample parking. A fireplace for a homely feel, also fans throughout. Booked out as a whole home. Travelling as a larger group? Dinky Di's is right next door, large living. sleeps 7, 2 loos, 2 showers. Please note: MOBILITY RESTRICTIONS Di's Place has 2 steps down into the main bedroom, toilet hall is downward on an uneven surface with a handrail. No handrail in the toilet. It is not suitable for a w/chair or wheel aid. Dinky Di's Dugout, next door may be more suitable for you, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, toilets though are NOT wheelchair accessible, aid OK.
Coober Pedy is unique. It is steeped in history of opal mining and outback. As opal capital of the world it hosts beautiful shops, restaurants, tours and attractions, as well as beautiful desert views. The famous dog fence, separating dingoes in the north from the southern sheep grazing country, curls north and south east of Coober Pedy. There are many different tours available to satisfy any travelers curiosity and questions relating to the history of our fabulous multi cultural town and surrounding outback. Learn about opal and wonder at the different styles of mining, both old and new by visiting the renowned Old Timers Mine. Experience machinery working at Toms mine. Maybe a round of golf? our golf club is sister to St Andrews, England; shoot a handgun or rifle at our shooting club Sat and Sun mornings from 10-12. Enjoy a flick at the local Drive in, open most Saturday evenings. Finish the day with a glass of wine overlooking the break-a-ways on sunset. We have beautiful underground churches - Catacomb, Catholic and beautiful Serbian church. All open. Coober Pedy hosts Races each August and an opal festival each year.
