PJ's Underground Cottage - NSW, Mutawintji National Park

Address:

Dugout 72, Turley's Hill , White Cliffs , NSW 2836, Australia

Description:

White Cliffs was the first commercial opal field of Australia and hot summer temperatures found opal miners living in the cool, constant 22 degree temperature of their mines after a hard day’s work!
New Underground 2-Bedroom Cottage offers self-contained privacy for couples, families or friends (sleeps 4). It has a wonderful winter sun area, full kitchen (including dishwasher & washing machine). The modern light bright and airy cavern has full kitchen and laundry facilities and a wonderful out of the winter wind sun deck with 50km views over the Warwick range. The ideal place to stay a few days and recharge your inner self with peace and tranquility.
Eat when you want to with microwave, BBQ and plenty of crockery, cutlery and glass ware provided. Either BYO food, or ask us about frozen meats and lasagnes, and pop down to the corner store for a salad. We have soft drinks, beer and wine, or bring your favourites with you. Eat on the roof and watch the sun go down, or enjoy the oasis of the BBQ patio.
We’ll leave you home made bread, and our delicious lemon butter and mulberry jam for breakfast, real tea and coffee, and good juices. If our frizzle bantams are laying you may even be able to glean a fresh White Cliffs laid egg..

Things to do:

Many guests find themselves curled up with a book – in stark contrast to the surrounding countryside where the kangaroos and emus move through the saltbush and bare gibber plains stretching to the horizon.
A relaxing afternoon can be spent fossicking for a piece of elusive opal on the old mining field – White Cliffs miners welcome a friendly tourist face, and are often more than willing to stop for a chat.

Local Attractions:

A long day on the tourist trail visiting the solar power station, opal showrooms and art galleries can be reflected upon with a soak in the spa also located underground in a century-old open cut mine. For those seeking cut opal, PJ's Underground sells a range of polished stones and set jewellery, as well as local arts and crafts.
