Self Responsibility
We expect everyone who stays with us to be self-responsible and open for an adventure! We live on the edge of the opal fields, have gardens with rocky opal clay paths, a dam and spaces that have their own quirks including no hot water, gas cooking and sometimes spiders (and frogs in the loo)! If you are risk averse, have health conditions or are unsteady on your feet, we recommend finding alternative accommodation in Lightning Ridge https://lightningridgeinfo.com.au/accommodation.html

Cancellation & Refund policy
Full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking, if the check-in date is at least 14 days away. 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in. No refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of check-in. We reserve the right to offer refunds outside of this policy under exceptional circumstances please email stay@thehungryspirit.com to ask!
Cancellation for Long-term stays
This policy applies to stays of 28 days or longer and overrides our standard policy. This policy allows guests to cancel for a full refund only during the 48hours after booking and only if you cancel 28 days prior to check-in.
We reserve the right to cancel bookings, but will only do so under extreme circumstances and will always find you an alternative or provide 100% refund.
Pets
No pets allowed, we have other animals on site and for everyone’s safety it’s best we remain pet free!
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted inside our spaces and there will be a $500 cleaning fee applied if this rule is broken. You can smoke in the outside areas and please dispose of your butts in the bins provided.
Suitability for children
We have hosted many children in all our spaces, they love it! We have extra bedding for hire if required (you can bring your own as well, please email stay@thehungryspirit.com to enquire/book) However, our outdoor space has risks including a dam, our friendly, but large pig, possible snakes/spiders!
Fossicking
We have had people leave with enough opal to pay for their stay and then some (if they wanted to sell it, which of course they don’t!) and while that’s not typical, we do have LOTS of lovely opal tailings for you to sort through on site. We bring all of them back from our mine each week. There’s no guarantee that you will find anything of course, but it’s lots of fun and what you find you can keep = the only caveat is that if it looks like a fossil, you’ll have to negotiate with Michael!
