Welcome to the White Cliffs Motel

The White Cliffs Underground Motel, Outback Australia

Welcome to an extraordinary place!

Welcome to White Cliffs, the opal town in the North West of New South Wales, Australia! This is an extraordinary place, with not just the motel but most of the town living in underground dwellings called 'dugouts'.

Dugouts are so-called because they are dug in the rock.

It makes perfect sense. Regardless of the heat of the Australian outback, dugouts enjoy a constant 22°C temperature all year round. They are perfectly dry, and well ventilated. And environmentally, they are extremely sound: in a dugout you never have to use a heater, or air-conditioning.

More than just a motel, what you will find here is the opportunity to share a unique lifestyle.

Working here, one of the things we enjoy the most is the child-like expression of wonder on the faces of our guests (who come not only from all over Australia but also from all over the world) when they first go through a tour of our extensive underground premises – the largest underground complex in White Cliffs.

The NRMA Road Guide voted the White Cliffs Underground Motel one of the four most original places to stay in in New South Wales. With its 3 star AAA rating, its swimming pool, its great meals, its bar and its conference rooms, the White Cliffs Underground Motel has received a great amount of publicity and acclaim in Australia and abroad.

Sleeping underground is a UNIQUE experience.
