    Pros +

    • Nice location, a little bit above the town. Bedroom was nice and cozy. Separate shared kitchen with everything you need. Overall really nice. Parking onsite was no problem either.
    • Location was quiet and bed was comfortable. Staff were really nice and off we red tea and coffee in kitchen.
    • Novelty of being in a dug out room

    Cons -

    • The ventilation of the room could be a bit better. Can get a bit muggy on hot days after a shower in the room.
    • The office isn't always open.
    • bathroom looked like it would drain into the bedroom

    Lovely quiet location, comfortable rooms. Great little kitchen for guest use. Informative host who went above and beyond to recommend tours, things to see and helped us out with laundry service too. Thanks Mike for a fantastic visit.

    Pillows a bit soft but room great

    Underground rooms are supposed to be warm in winter We found our oom was cool with no a/c heating.

    Some form of heating.

    9CatrinaPosted on: 8-4-2025

    Easy check in, clean, everything we wanted.

    5GrahamPosted on: 7-19-2025

    Novelty of being underground and the kitchen facilities were good

    The bed was uncomfortable and small and the mattress needed to be replaced as it sagged. The pillows needed to be replaced. There were no skylights in the room so it was dark.

    9MartinPosted on: 4-30-2025

    Very clean, helpful manager. Small communal kitchen a real bonus.Lovely morning views across to the Breakaways

    5TrishPosted on: 4-27-2025

    Certainly a different experience being underground. It was good to see what it was like.

    The room was very small with only a double bed not a queen. The bed was pushed against the wall on one side so access to the bathroom during the night was a challenge.No facilities in the room at all apart from the bathroom and toilet.The kitchen facilities is in a separate shared room so if you have food or drinks that need to be refrigerated then everyone has access to them.The room was stuffy with just a ceiling fan which didn't really do much.

    7WarneckePosted on: 4-25-2025

    never had breakfast

    the room was nice but would have been better with more natural rock than being painted

    8MyoPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Very clean, comfortable beds, friendly staff.

    No aircon and fridge in room.

    9ThompsonPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Tidy, ease of access

    Was still warm in the room with only a fan

    8RolandPosted on: 4-18-2025

    Great staff, clean facilities. Simple room but comfortable.

    Slight odour on arrival, however, the a/c removed the smell.

    7BarbaraPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Great staff and bed was good. Good value for money. Fan was great in the room and making it comfortable for sleeping.

    Use to a bigger bed but was good. Noise from other people outside of room was noisy when kids talking loudly. Had to move bed so not having to crawl over the other person.

    9SharonPosted on: 4-13-2025

    The uniqueness of the setting and great hosts.

    The size of our family group made it difficult to get the right room configuration.

    10SherylPosted on: 4-11-2025

    Lovely staff, clean, nice kitchen. Parking on site, good WiFi.

    9RebeccaPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Lovely and clean, comfortable beds. Everything you need for an overnight stay

    Some mosquitoes in the room at night. However not at the control of the accommodation. More for guest awareness

    8TakPosted on: 4-2-2025

    Coober Pedy is a small city with around 2000 population. Easy to explore around with a car. Just 15 minutes walk from Motel down to main road (Hutchison Road) where we find restaurant, supermarket and museums
