The apartment was well equipped and we loved the layout of the place. The kitchen was a great size and the whole place felt spacious for a studio apartment. My kids especially loved the bed areas that were dug into the wall. The host was wonderful and had great communication. I would highly recommend this place.

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.

Panoramic view at Breakaways Conservation Park and Kanku National Park. The hospitality of the bride's mother in allowing guests to explore her exceptional dugout accommodation is exceptional. Awesome huge dugout, with many artistic displays

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
Splendid location. We were welcomed by Irene and Mike who showed us around and gave us good advice on sightseeing. The house was large and airy and well-designed and if you want the full Coober Pedy experience of underground living, this is a perfect example. It is just outside town, so you get an amazing view of the Breakaways. We could literally dance under the stars and this is the most amazing sky in the daytime and at even more so at night. The breakfast was left in the fridge and cupboards for us and was very nice too.
Manager Paul was fantastic to deal with. We were arriving to the town late at night, so he upgraded us to a property that would be easier to locate in the dark at no extra cost. The accommodation was amazing the way it was built, and it was nice and cool without any air conditioning. Highly recommend the experience staying underground. The place was pet friendly and our two little chihuahuas had the best time running around.
Arrived only to find that SA was going into a 7 day lockdown. Initial reaction was 'disappointment' but the staff, Mick and Erin, went above and beyond to look after us and to make the most of a bad situation. Turned out to be a great experience. The room was great, the view was great, the tour with 'Noble Tour's was great. If you are in Coober Pedy, stay at 'The Underground'
Great accommodation, exactly what we were looking for. Clean, well furnished, full kitchen including stove. Great continental breakfast and we liked that was a little out of town.
Mike and Inoka were super friendly and most welcoming,
If you are going to Coober Pedy you should take the opportunity to stay underground and Venus Hill B&B fits the bill perfectly.
The room gave us the underground experience that we wanted and even had green grass outside.
Great customer focused staff, parking near door
recommend great places to go
The temperature was great in the room but a fan was supplied as was a nightlife if we wanted it
well equipped kitchenette for us to have breakfast
Due to renovations we stayed in a unit near town (underground). Our dog was allowed to stay with us which was fantastic.
Unit was spacious clean and comfortable. Not 5 star but this is Coober Pedy and you must experience under ground living. Would stay here again.
Coober Pedy is famous for its opals, and this property is another gem :) We had a very pleasant stay here, and found the motel accommodation clean, surprisingly spacious and comfortable. Parking at the door was also a bonus.
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.
Easy and accommodating check in. Pet friendly and for children too!
Have stayed at many places in Coober pedy and this is by far the best.
Will stay here from now on!!
Everything was good. Room was spacious, clean and sleeping underground while in Coober Pedy is a must. Having the pool available was an excellent addition.
