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
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...
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.
I reached Coober Pedy by bus at 7 am and I was prepared to wait for few hours to check in. But the stuff was kind enough to let me check in as soon as they had availability. The same happened during check out too. This was exceptionally comfortable. I underground that flexible timing completely depends on availability, but their willingness to help was outstanding. And facility wise this is the best in Coober Pedy.
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.
Love it! Well done to Melissa and the team for creating such a wonderful, unique experience. Our room was deep underground, with beautiful opal seams. The beds are super comfy and bathroom was clean with excellent water pressure in the shower. Exploring the hotel is so much fun, and learning about the history of the hotel just increased our love for the place.
The underground stay experience was great! The location is on top of a hill with great views back into Coober pedy. The bedroom was massive and bed was comfortable.
Overall I would stay here again as the price is good compared to other accommodation options in town. Would be a great place when renovations are finished.
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.
Out of town and totally above ground. We found the underground rooms, in other hotels,on a previous trip, very stuffy. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Big rooms, plenty of seats. Bed wide and comfortable. Shower fine and bathroom clean.
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.
Fantastic location. Irene was wonderful and welcoming and gave us lots of great ideas about what to do around Coober Pedy. Highly recommend this beautifully crafted dug out!
Location was central to town. short walk for dinner options. Room was clean and tidy. Staff were helpful and friendly.
This is recommended for families visiting 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!!
