Enjoyed being in underground room known as The Tunnels... Was looking forward to the experience as this is the second time being at this hotel and the first was disappointing due to venue manager being extremely rude and no customer service. Sadly still disappointed by the second room.

Very clean. 10/10
Great kitchen, bathroom, living room, comfy beds.
Comfort 7/10. Impeded by the fact that overhead fans either didn’t work or very slow. It was quite warm downstairs with no way of cooling off.

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.

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
Wow how stunning! Feels like you’re walking into the flinstones house then smacked with gorgeous modern interior mixed with the uniqueness of the underground! The host was super easy to communicate with, the cleaners do an unreal job- seriously spotless place not a spec of dust or dirt. If you know Coober Pedy, that’s damn near impossible! Super cosy, warm, beautiful interior and location was fantastic. Honestly the value for money is insane! My pup and I enjoyed our stay very much, I wish we booked for longer!
This is a place perfectly in tune with its surroundings and a wonderful introduction to the joys of underground living. Extremely well appointed and spacious it is a stunning contrast to the post apocalyptic landscape that characterises most of the surrounding area. I can’t imagine a better place to stay on a road trip through Central Australia.
The room was fantastic I enjoyed it and it very quiet indeed.im enjoyed staying in Coober Pedy I had the best time in the outback Australia looking for opals and going into underground mines around town as well hopefully I'll stay again soon.
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.
Unique underground experience - only in Coober Pedy! 18 m under ground, spacious, clean, outdoor area with bbq next to own kitchen. Friendly host and explains all the sights and things to do around town
The room was underground accommodation......so it was quiet and a constant comfortable temperature. We slept well and Michael provided a varied breakfast to start our day's drive to Alice Springs.
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.
The staff at reception were lovely and offered a great first impression for my first time in Coober Pedy. Location was also great and within walking distance of most of the town.
Very friendly staff who gave us lots of information in regards what to see in Coober Pedy. Lovely spacious underground room with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. Good wifi.
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.
