Everyone should do this at least once

Amazing to spend a night in an underground room. The kitchen was spotless and the facilities very clean.

Cool underground stay in sweltering heat

Cool underground room with all required amenities for a comfortable stay. Impressively fast wifi.

Comfortable, cozy stay.

That it had 2 rooms so we didn’t have to stay in the same room with our kids. It also had air con, which was great as it was quite hot, even though it was built underground. It had a small kitchenette which is great, as eating out wasn’t an option when we were there.

No doors on the bedrooms. So privacy was thin. That said they are comfortable but small rooms and I’m not sure you could hang a door.

Great place to spend a night in Coober Pedy

- the host was a great source of information about Coober Pedy and also our onwards journey - room was well equipped, and having access to a kitchen was nice - fun sleeping underground

- parking was a little bit tight (but understandable given the location)

Underground room that's cool and a must to experience. Nice and quiet

So mosquito's in the room but I had my bug zapper to deal with them. It stormed and some water was dripping down the roof vents but this is unavoidable

Fun underground experience

The room was super cute, loved the aesthetic of it being underground and the style of hotel made me feel like I was in another country. The room was quite spacious, beds were pretty comfy and the fan was great as there was no air-conditioning. Friendly staff. Perfect outside area to watch sunset, cute little table and chairs and a swinging chair was a great touch.

There were quite large steps leading up into the room, which made getting luggage in a little difficult and made it hard for someone with not so great mobility. There was a communial fridge in the kitchen area but not one in the room which I would prefer. The towels were really rough.

If you are staying in CP then this was ok.

The motel was nicely presented.

The operator asked me to move our car from under the shaded parking as it was for other guests. Fair enough until he got clever and asked why. I said I like to park in the shade. He asked if I also liked to drive in the shade. Perhaps not quite clever enough to be clever in his remarks. Asking me to park out in the sun was enough. No more required.

Beautiful, friendly and well presented property, both inside and out.

The location, facilities and presentation were wonderful. Everything was clean and welcoming.

The bed was too soft and my husband and I both had sore backs overnight.

Beautiful respite from the van holiday.

Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room walls were sealed, so that the dust I remember from previous visits to Coober Pedy was nowhere to be seen in our room. Was able to drop off our van early in the day, before check-in time.

Once off experience

The hosts are very nice and knowledgeable about the area, and make you feel welcome. It is a small motel, with around 10 rooms, a shared kitchen, and outside space. Everything you may need for a night (or more). Loved our night underground, which is a once in a lifetime experience. It is a bit further away from the center, which makes it a safer and quieter space.

The only thing, as it's underground, the corridor that deserves most of the rooms can get quite noisy if people are not mindful. We had noise from 5.30am as people were leaving early.

Curious motel to live the experience of the town

Cozy room inside the cave. There’s a kitchen to share with the other guests. Good location in Coober Pedy.

The shower wasn’t very good.

Passable

That the accommodation was underground

Room described as Double with Futon. On arrival found it was a trundle bed literally at floor level, uncomfortable and hard to get down on and up again . Couldn't even reach the Microwave as above head height

Cozy rooms

We stayed in the Family Room and it was nice and cozy. Although bathroom could do with a little bit more with space we understand the constraints building up a dugout motel. We utilised the shared kitchen which was well equipped with all the utensils and cooking necessities. Overall, it was a pleasant stay in the Underground Motel.

I had a great time at the underground motel and would certainly stay again

The room was comfortable despite the warm weather, the staff were very helpful especially as I was delayed for my check in. Erin helped me sort my problem.

The fan in my room (7) seemed to be faulty and didn't go very fast.

everything in Coober Pedy is underground but this was underground and a little bit quirky - not a huge hotel so only a few people around, and liked that it was slightly out of town and with a nice view over town for sunset. The room was SPOTLESS !!

it was good and I’d go there again but would ensure that I had an air conditioner in the room

The property was easy to find in a good location and unique.

I thought I’d upgraded to have a room with air conditioning but only had a fan. I was so tired after a long drive that I just wanted to get to sleep. Even with the fan it felt hot

Awesome. Very unique. I loved everything about this stay. Great ammenities in room also.

We arrived later than expected but a quick phone call allowed for us to have the room left open for us to enter. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Loved the room and property as a whole. Highly recommend this place. It was perfect after a long day driving.

It's fine, but not for me.

No coffee, no fridge available in the room, had to go out to a room across the hall for those facilities.
