White Cliffs Underground Motel offers 40 uniquely characterized cave rooms, each meticulously furnished and equipped.
The rooms offer an oasis of tranquility, naturally insulated to maintain a steady 22C temperature, a cool respite from scorching summer heat, and warm in winter.
Some rooms come with private en-suites, while others have access to shared bathroom facilities.
To maintain a tranquil atmosphere, facilities are strategically located at the property’s periphery.
FYI: there’s no radio or mobile phone coverage underground, allowing for a truly disconnected retreat.

Guest Review
White Cliffs is an interesting place, with an opportunity to visit a working opal mine and experience life in a remote Outback town. The hotel is clean and quiet, burrowed into the hillside, keeping it insulated from the unbearable heat in the summer months. The rooms are generously-sized, and accessed via a labyrinth of corridors.
