"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!!!"
