Your Hosts:

Peter and Joanne really do come from a "land from down under.” The accommodation at PJ's Underground in an incredible collection of man made chambers and rooms hewn into the earth over one hundred years ago as opal miners sought the elusive crystal opal. Underground, you’ll enjoy a naturally comfortable temperature of around 22 degree Celsius.

Joanne and Peter recommend you try your luck at fossicking around the mullock heaps, or just take a book and a chair and sit on the roof and watch the ocean views ( these days you’ll only be 60 million years too late!)

Accommodation:

Dig in for the night – choose from subterranean B&B or your luxury underground cottage… Our B&B accommodation at PJ's Underground has been rated at 3.5 star's by AAA Tourism, with a clear sky of millions of stars when you sit on our roof! Up to 10 metres underground we have 6 uniquely individual B&B rooms catering for couples, families or groups of up to 21. Why not make a special few days and bring your friends? Then there’s the underground cottage – sleeping four persons in 2 bedrooms ( a queen and a twin). This 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 tranquillity. 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.. 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.
