Guest Reviews
- James (8/5): - On balance, well pleased with our stay. This was an amazingly quirky place staying underground was a once in a lifetime experience for us. A major disappointment was no Internet though from our understanding this was a factor beyond the owners control
- tony (10/5): - thank you Mike, very good experience
- Tomomi (10/5): - It was the first time for us to visit Coober Pedy. The whole underground experience was amazing. It looked like the settings in Star Wars! My advice is do not arrive there in the dark. It was so hard to find! There were roads but not much street lights so it was a bit scary to drive in the complete darkness. Bring shampoo and conditioner. They provide soaps though. The air inside was a bit stuffy. I understand it's underground. No windows and no ventilation. It could be the same anywhere if it's underground accommodations. I didn't see the air conditioner. They provide a fan. We went there in the early September so it was perfect weather for us.
- Agneta (8/5): - Such a different accommodation experience. Coober Pedy is great.
- Terry (10/5): - Great place to stay just outside town.
- David (10/5): - Unique place to stay. Clean and tidy and provided breakfast was good.
- kuan-chun (10/5): - Never have any place like this.... amazing and worth than the price.
- Kenneth (10/5): - Good
- David (10/5): - Great experience staying underground. Mike the owner very helpful and friendly.
- Kerry (10/5): - Driving towards the accommodation was a unique experience that only Coober Pedy can offer - outstanding - loved every moment. Mike was a wonderful host - welcoming, warm and friendly. Thank you - we would love to come back one day :)
- Anne (8/5): Coober Pedy experience! - A unique place to stay in Mike's underground B and B. The place was spacious and comfortable and unlike some guests we were given plentiful breakfast supplies. We would recommend others to stay.
- J (8/5): - Good clean accommodation with friendly owner.
- Nilesh (10/5): - Incredible experience sleeping in the dug out. View from location is beautiful looking over the desert. Rooms and kitchen were clean given how remote this area is. Mobile reception is none and wifi is also intermittent. Property is good if someone wants to have that unique experience of sleeping in dugout.
- Jeremy (6/5): - Like the Mining DongA I lived in on Groote Eylandt - Though a Lot Newer and Cleaner. For all the advertising about Bed ✓ I had Trouble Finding the Breakfast as none was Offered - ? Perhaps I missed Something ? Great Location for Night Skies and Photography - I did enjoy my Stay here ***{ Three Stars} The Cat was Friendly!!
- Jamie (6/5): B&B that don't offer breakfast the next morning - wasn't a bad place to stay the only problem was the air con wasn't turned on pre arrival the cabin was like a sauna when i arrived poor Tv reception, poor internet reception fridge wasn't turned on pre arrival. No breakfast was offered the next morning.
- Matthew (10/5): - Coober Pedy's scorching summer heat was no match for the cool comfort of our underground dugout! At a steady 23 degrees, it was a welcome respite from the blistering temperatures outside. Despite a sudden flash flood that swept through the town, our elevated dugout remained completely unaffected. While the main bed might have been a bit firm for some, we slept soundly each night, undisturbed by any discomfort. The property's lack of air conditioning was a non-issue, as the constant cool temperature and a gentle fan breeze kept us perfectly comfortable. Raymond, the caretaker, was incredibly hospitable. He not only ensured a smooth check-in but also went the extra mile by taking us on a fascinating tour of his opal mine. His warm hospitality and local insights truly enhanced our stay. We can't wait to return to this unique and peaceful retreat.
- Dawn (10/5): Stay here if you get the chance - This place is a true quirk of a BnB. Hewn into the rock face, the room is down a shaft and inside a man made cave. Most revelled facilities considering where it is nd who made it! Wondeful
- Rebecca (10/5): - Such a unique stay! We loved the tunnel into the home. Everything you need, would highly recommend.
- Antoni (10/5): - One the most friendly and welcoming places I have ever visited! Mike went out of his way to make me feel welcome - we had some car trouble (emu 😂) and he went over and above to help us. He even organised some amazing activities for my wife and I while we had no transport. You won’t find a better place to stay in Coober Pedy - don’t miss out!
- Klaus (8/5): - Unique location, unique accommodation. Well worth a stay. Friendly host.
- Amanda (8/5): - Great underground accommodation.
- Mel (8/5): - Good, clean, budget accommodation. A little bit of a drive from town centre.
- George (10/5): - Tall man Raymond was very accommodating , informative and kind. We stayed in a seemingly brand new and large room that had a queen size bed and a double bed. Mattresses were very nice and new. Spotless room. Peaceful place. Next time we will try a dugout. It’s also clean and new . We spoke with the folks who were staying there and they loved it. Hope to come back and visit soon. It is very close to town and is quiet location with fantastic views of the sunrise.
- Catherine (10/5): - This motel is interesting, whilst I stayed in an above ground room, the owners are building underground rooms. My accommodation was excellent, brand new, comfortable and clean. The manager was attentive and efficient. What I liked most was the surroundings: out of the way, vast horizon and beautiful sunset.
- Natasha (10/5): - Always easy. Love that it’s a bit out of town 3 mins. Quiet here.
- Samantha (10/5): - Very new, simple, above ground accommodation just outside town. Nice sunset views and interesting landscape surrounding the property. Had a good stay and would revisit!
- Callum (10/5): My review - I really enjoyed my stay at Venus Hill. The location overlooked a beautiful plane, and the cabin had everything I needed for a relaxing night and efficient morning. I am heading back to Adelaide in a few months and will likely stay again.
- Karin (6/5): - Wir hatten uns ehrlich gesagt von den Fotos her etwas mehr erhofft. Der Empfang (sogar spätabends) war jedoch sehr freundlich und nett, darüber waren wir sehr dankbar! Die Unterkunft selber bestand aus einem umgebauten Container und Preis/Leistung war unserer Meinung nach nicht optimal.
- Glenn (10/5): - True underground living experience. Fantastic
- SUNHEE (4/5): 사장님은 친절했고 내부는 청결했지만 컨테이너를 숙소로 사용하는 것은 아니다. - 실내는 청결했지만 컨테이너에서의 숙박은 아니라고 본다.
- Jason (6/5): Underground and demountable accommodation - We picked this venue as it offered the cheapest underground accommodation as well as a barbecue. However, while the site offers underground accommodation, their cheapest triple room is in a (very clean, very well maintained) demountable. Additionally, the barbecue is only available to certain rooms.
- Debra (8/5): - Great value. In a nice quiet enviroment.
- Jason (10/5): - The under ground apartment was great in so many ways. Getting to experience the Coober Pedy style of living even for a short time offered an insight into the the place. The design of the space was well thought out and interesting at every turn. And our host Raymond took good care of us, told us a few stories and then left us to enjoy the space. Highly recommended for comfort and interest!!
- Murali (4/5): - Not at all what i was expecting. Expected underground accommodation, but got a a donga accommodation instead. It was clean, but very very minimal.
- Margaret (8/5): - The property is in the mining fields so it is really authentic. There are long range views from the hilltop. It is owner built. We did both the container above ground and the dugout as an upgrade. The owners are into.opal mining themselves. Non commercial, very grassroots. It is the real deal but well done too. Thanks for a great experience, never forgotten. A night underground. Marg and Michael.
- Catherine (8/5): - Quiet, Clean and tidy. Pleasant host.
- Simon (8/5): - Good place to stay. Underground, which is neat. Would stay again.
- Gary (2/5): Stay Away !!!!! - I have to say firstly, for credibility's sake only, im a Gold customer staying in over 30 hotels per year for business and pleasure, and I've never left a bad review. However, we had an absolute appalling experience with this property, and the very aggressive and dishonest owner/operator. We arrived at a filthy, dingy property, with an old oil drum and tyre to drive around. No one was there, the office enterance was covered in a ripped green garden netting and everywhere was filthy. I called the owner on the phone, who insisted on cash payment, allbeit politely at first. We had a disagreement on this, and he simply told me if i couldnt pay him cash, then we should "go away". He wouldnt then answer the phone to hotels.com Has this place changed hands since the last reviews ? Who knows, but on my experience I promise you should stay away ! You have been warned !!!!
- Marie (10/5): - Quiet, clean property just out of town. Good facilities. A swing around tv in the middle of the unit would be more easily viewed. Loved the location, good stargazing
- Stephan (10/5): - Really great, super friendly host, very original location
- Gillian (10/5): - Great to experiencce underground living. Loved the few minutes out of town vastness. Very comfortable. Good value. Need your own toiletries except soap. Easy checkin, small group of 3.
- Valerian (10/5): - We received a quick and unintrusive service from the owner’s wife. The place felt new and clean. Great sunset and sunrise views, and safety. It felt for me like at grandma’s place in some ways. We happen to stay in the same room we stayed couple of years ago, and my wife commented she would stay there again.
- Paul (10/5): - Unique experience, quiet area.
- Lisa (6/5): - Exterior lights were on most of the night and the blinds weren't block out blinds. Very simple accommodation, adequate for a one night stop over only.
- Andrew (10/5): Quiet stay in Coober Pedy - Very Clean ! Good facilities Comfortable Beds. Just out of town but was easy to get to and was nice and quiet. Plenty of parking.
- Verified traveler (10/5): excellent! - Exceptional experience! Unique design! Super clean! very good size!
- Belinda (8/5): - Great value for money! We stayed in the two bedroom suite with two adults, two children and a baby and there was plenty of room for every one.
- Lorraine (10/5): - Loved every minute, recommend it to everyone!!!!
- bruce (8/5): - Very clean and unusual sorry I did not get the underground rooms. My complaint was the lighting which seems a Coober Pedy thing. An unusual town.
- Sandra (8/5): - Clean, convenient and warm on a cold winter's night.
- Bruce (10/5): - Really good clean accommodation with friendly helpful host.
- Kirsty (8/5): - The apartment was perfect for our underground experience in Coober Pedy
- Troy (10/5): - Clean, spacious and comfy
