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.

We loved this property! We loved that it was underground so we got the real Coober Pedy experience and the fit out of this property was so beautiful. It was modern, clean, so comfortable and had every amenity that you would want.
The owner was lovely and so helpful. She gave us some great tips on what to do whilst we were in Coober Pedy and kindly offered to book us a table for dinner at the Big Winch cafe.
We would highly recommend this property.

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. 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
Underground is definitely the way to stay in Coober Pedy !! We loved opening the door to a very different look to the everyday room !! Had a choice of beds and we went for the one that was in a cave within a cave !! Ali is so well organized and saved us a trip to tourist info - so good to have maps and tourist tips supplied in the room ( as well as very clear checkin info pre arrival)
Edward the owner was an excellent host and informative about Coober Pedy. Very clean and comfortable room. We will definitely underground B&B breakfast in our next visit to Coober Pedy with my family. Excellent living standards. Thank you Edward for making our stay very comfortable as seniors. 👌👌😊
This accommodation was delightful within walking distance to one of Coober Pedy best diners. Our room was clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet, as it was a very busy time. Although we were only doing an overnight stopover, we would’ve been happy to stay longer if time had permitted.
We stayed in the Underground room. The concept was excellent and we liked the novelty of it. It was a large room with a good size bathroom that you would expect. The location of the hotel was in the heart of Coober Pedy so it was convenient.
If you don't stay underground in Coober Pedy you're missing out, and this place is great. It's sometimes the little things ... like a little washing powder on the washing machine ... thanks 😊
Apartment was comfortable and well set up. Location great and good views from outside the apartment, especially at sunset.Quite the experience staying underground! Bonus it is pet friendly.
There is something just magical about staying underground, cosy and homely atmosphere, out of town a bit 3-5min drive but I liked that. Stars at night from here were amazing.
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!
Beautifully appointed underground apartment, true to the property photos. It was great to experience the unique underground lifestyle of Coober Pedy for a few days.
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.
