Self-Catering Accommodations in Coober Pedy

Tim Australia

After a 13hr drive with a 5 year old and 2 dogs, this was truly welcome respite for the 2 nights we spent there. Cool in the midst of some significant heat, tidy and clean and with all the comforts we hoped for, it was a lovely refuge from which to acclimatise and explore before we headed further north.

Everything was top notch. Mick and Irene are phenomenal hosts. Kind and attentive with great suggestions for activities to do in Coober Pedy. The accommodation itself is spectacular and very unique: a home dug into the side of a hill is not something you see every day! The interior is really something. It's incredibly spacious and dug directly into the rock. You can see veins of gypsum and opal running along the walls, as well as a mine tunnel above. There are holes for explosives and also holes drilled into the rock that serve as stashes for wine bottles. The furniture is almost all hand made as well. The rooms are kept at a very comfortable 20-22 degrees c, owing to the nature of the dugout. Mick and Irene have put a lot of thought and effort into the whole experience and it shows. There is a full kitchen and a fridge stocked with fresh bread, boiled eggs, ham, cheese, milk, juice, and water as well as butter and margarine. There is an honor bar with beer and wine with reasonable payment suggestions as well as complimentary port - a nice touch. Also if you don't want to deal with car rental from the airport, they have at least one 4x4 that they will loan out for very reasonable price. Location is also very convenient, about 6 minutes drive from the main street as well as to the airport. There are also some roos that like to hang out on the property! They're quite used to people and can be seen on the ridge right by the parking area every morning. I think the dug out b&b is an excellent choice for anyone visiting coober pedy, whether it's a family holiday, romantic getaway, or a road trip with friends. Do make sure you check out the night sky and sunrise/set while you're there. They are breathtaking. PS: i don't have any pictures of the interior because i made a huge video and i can't grab screenshots right now. It's truly beautiful and honestly photos don't do it justice.

Jo was the best host. A few of the many excellent things were - popcorn for staying in and watching a movie. easy access to restaurants.

The extra mile the hosts went too. Serving of bread wrapped in the fridge, cereals and everything we could need was available. Plus they also gave food recommendations.

On top of one of the highest hills in Coober Pedy, and at the end of a no through road, was Ali’s Underground Home. If the 270 degree view of the town and surrounding plains were not enough, as soon as we walked into the Home, we immediately felt blessed this was going to be our home for two nights. Ali has thought of everything and left no stone unturned to make sure guests are well catered for. From the kitchen appliances (including an Air Fryer) and all the plates, glasses and utensils you would need, to a huge smart TV, games and books in the lounge, to washing powder and pegs in the laundry, and comfy beds in very unique bedrooms …. you really couldn’t ask for more. It was very easy to see how much Ali cares not only about her Home, but also the experience for guests. While it may be a while before I get to Coober Pedy again, one thing for sure - I wouldn’t stay anywhere else other than Ali’s!! Thank you Ali.

Very comfortable apartment. While it was cold outside, the apartment stayed warm very well even without the A/C and the A/C worked well. It had everything we needed and well designed/comfortable. It was a stones throw from the IGA. Great host who emailed us the door code right away. Highly Recommended.
