The Underground Motel

Very unique experience. Mike was very hospitable. Loved the room. The underground room stayed nice and cool when it was +40 C outside. Highly recommend.

The panoramic view from the outside verandah was amazing. The bed was comfortable, good water pressure and plenty of hot water with the shower. Owners were friendly and helpful. Very quiet setting and clean.

Great property but be aware there is no Aircon in the rooms. Fine for Australians as inside is always 15oC cooler than outside but we Canadians have trouble sleeping in 28oC inside.

A Coober Pedy classic. Novel place to stay rooms are clean and dark! With a neat little kitchen area to prepare meals. We had nice conversations with the owning couple always happy to chat about the local area and things to do. Happy with our stay.

It is a unique experience of sleeping underground. It was cool and pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped and a good view of Coober Pedy township at the front door.

Poorly maintained , offensive note left in the room demanding us to wash and store cups and saucers or be charged an additional $30 for cleaning - this is ridiculous - the bed and pillows need replacing - the tiles in front of the room entry and broken and missing - not a good impression

The hotel was great but there are a lot of stray dogs in the area making walking feel unsafe.

Everything you would want was there, from the happy welcoming to the information given was superb. Clean and very friendly

I cannot fault the staff at this motel. However, the room was so small you couldn’t move. Certainly there was no room for 2 people and 2 bags. It was also very noisy. But the worst….in the foyer was a light/fan which was on all night. The door to our room was coloured glass and there was a window beside it. All this would have been ok if the curtain was not semi sheer. It was like sleeping inside a kaleidoscope. When I spoke to the manager she said I wasn’t the first to complain but the owner won’t do anything about it. Her solution….give me a blanket to make a thicker curtain. I wanted to sleep underground in the complete dark and silence. This motel went no where near providing that experience
