Didn't like a thing! It was the worst place we stayed in our 3 week holiday. We stayed at another place in Coober Pedy on our way North, same price point, entirely different experience. Cannot recommend this place in any way!! There are much better places (at the same price) to stay in Coober Pedy. Do not stay here! It was cold, dirty, delapitated and owner could not be contacted. It was absolutely pot luck (& a kind neighbour) who knew where they left the key and was able to let us in.

Much of the town being underground is something worth experiencing, the people were friendly and helpful, and we visited in April during cooler weather and it was pleasant. We have previously been there in the heat of summer and it's NOT so nice, dusty and hot, which is obviously why most of the town live underground.
The nearby Breakaways Conservation Park is definitely worth visiting; you can do a round trip through the Breakaways from Coober Pedy in around 90 mins including at least 30m at the various lookouts and photo vantage points. The colours from brilliant white to deep reds is amazing and the area is so different to the surrounding arid land.
The food and service at the Big Winch is superb and it's also a great vantage point to see the town and surrounding area from.
I would also recommend John's Pizza Bar in the main street and the Outback Bar and Grill attached to one of the servos serves decent grub too, as well as signature Outback Shiraz (from the Barossa Valley) for about $25/bottle that went down well.
Definitely a better town in the cooler months if you dislike the heat.

We stayed two nights, which meant one full day. Next time I would put in either 3 or 4 nights, giving 2 or 3 full days. In our one day we saw one mine, drove out to the Salt & Pepper rock formation, then had time for some drone shots above some of the mine hills out on the highway. The evening before that, we at least saw sunset from the Big Winch, which was a great introduction to the town. Another day would enable another mine visit at the very least ... since the mines are the most interesting thing about Coober Pedy.

Coober Pedy is a opal mining capital of the world.
Coober Pedy is a opal mining capital of the world. It is an interesting place to visit for a day or two to learn about its mining history, specific life in the Australian desert and to experience a true outback.

We have now stopped twice at Coober Pedy, once for lunch and fuel, and this time for an overnight sleep driving to Darwin and have no desire to ever return. Only reason to go there if you really need to stay underground or are interested in the mining history. The town has nothing to recommend itself.

Our favourite place for dining was the Big Winch 360 with a wide variety on the menu. The food was delicious too.
Our favourite places were the Breakaways which we visited twice in our three days stay. This was by far the highlight of our visit. We also visited the following exciting places:
1. Underground Serbian Ortgodox church
2. Underground Catholic Church
3. Old Timers Mine
4. Umoona Opal Mine and Museum
It is very easy to get around Coober Pedy
The Management staff Jo and Brent were very helpful and friendly, including driving me to and from the airport... also lending me a bicycle to better see and experience Coober Pedy... much appreciated!
I found the location very good... next to the Visitor Information Centre... and being just across the road from the Outback Bar and Grill, one of the few places in town to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner...
My room was roomy... cool during the hot days, even when the air conditioning wasn't on...
It was novelty staying in an underground room in Coober Pedy. The room provided a single and a double bed with a clean bathroom. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated clean towels on the second day of our stay. A communal kitchen allowed us to use the large fridge for storage and the microwave for cooking.There was also a large ceiling fan which helped to remove the stuffiness of a room with no windows.
This is a place perfectly in tune with its surroundings and a wonderful introduction to the joys of underground living. Extremely well appointed and spacious it is a stunning contrast to the post apocalyptic landscape that characterises most of the surrounding area. I can’t imagine a better place to stay on a road trip through Central Australia.
Great location near the Main Street & all the shops/restaurants.
Pet friendly.
Nice & cool being “underground”. Comfy bed, clean room. Sheets were a bit old but I liked the snuggly softness that they had & they were clean.
Fridge & fan were great to keep drinks & the room cool. Freezer even froze our esky ice blocks! 😃
This accommodation is an absolute gem! It was well furnished, supplies were excellent, it was clean, spacious and a really cool experience in staying underground in Coober Pedy. We would absolutely recommend this to people wanting to experience an underground stay! Easily accessible, good location and just so relaxing!
Excellent property which I would highly recommend to anyone passing through or staying in Coober Pedy.
An absolutely beautiful place underground and extremely spacious with a very good vibe to the place. All areas were clean and overall a very pleasant experience- excellent value for money in my opinion.
We loved it was an underground house. It was spacious and has all mod cons. The house was secure with a gate and plenty of room to park. It had an outdoor entertaining area for those great hot nights. Close to town and a great experience if you are visiting Coober Pedy for the first time.
It was very comfortable living underground, beautifully fitted out and everything we needed.
Staff were so helpful showing us ways to make the most of our time in Coober Pedy.
Very clean, good location and friendly staff. We did enjoy the stay in an underground motel very much and the Comfort Inn is the place to stay once you are in Coober Pedy.
The underground room was awesome. Very clean and well presented. Mike was very friendly and made us feel very welcome to Coober Pedy. Highly Recommend.
