Guest Reviews
- james (10/5): - Every thing Nothing
- Thilina (8/5): -
- Josh (10/5): Awesome to stay in such a dark room -
- Giuliano (5/5): Enough to gives a night of sleep to keep our driving back to Adelaide.Disappointing as an accomodation - Great set up of beds for 2 families! Large rooms Dirty facility Not enough kitchenware for cooking Very sagging mattresses and uncomfortable to sleep. No wifi available inside the property unless you go to car park area. No response at all from management. I am a host in Airbnb and understand the need for all this points above.
- BABU (5/5): except door , everything was good - room was clean i stayed in room no 7 and the door cant be locked , its need a repair. i call the staff that time after check in , but staff said its 12.30 midnight so he disconnected the call

- Steven (10/5): - The location It was a bit hot in the dug out
- Mendez (9/5): - Just need little bit repair.
- Ian (4/5): 3/10 it served it’s purpose - It’s a very good place for a one night stay. I wouldn’t stay more than one night. The facilities are mid-tier at best and it seems to be the same as it was 2 years ago It’s not the best value for money. None of the facilities have been updated for a while and it’s been the same. There was no staff anywhere so if you wanted to ask questions or help, there was no one to help you
- Price (8/5): Comfortable - Convenient and quiet TV reception was poor
- Blair (7/5): -
- Charmaine (7/5): It was adequate - Location, uniqueness, price Needs some love and attention, broke. Furniture, leaking taps, lights and fans not working
- Tim (10/5): -
- Susanne (7/5): -
- Vicki (7/5): It was ok for what it was. - The code was sent to my phone on the day There was no staff , as a single mum with a child I didn’t like that in case of an emergency

- Gail (6/5): - Easy to arrange late check in with key safe and host. Actual underground rooms with great view over desert. Lounge was uncomfortable with dirty fabric. Mattress in double room was incredibly soft. Little dated but good price.
- Thusika (6/5): - Location The beds were not cleaned
- Tejas (9/5): -
- Melissa (9/5): Comfortable, affordable and classic Coober Pedy Underground. - Lock box made access super easy and ceiling fans in all rooms. No milk in fridge so missed out on cuppa but not a biggy
- Arenas-Dela Torre (8/5): - Huge and comfy room. Nice kitchen and toilet ss well. The main couch was not that clean and the other couch legs was not stable.
- Margaret (10/5): - Comfortable beds. Spacious rooms. Well appointed. Easy parking. Nothing
- Priyanka (4/5): Not the type of stay that was expected - The property wasn't clean when we arrived, and even after it was cleaned, one of the bedroom sheets still seemed a bit dirty.
- Denis (6/5): Could have been better! - Unique experience, very cool inside when 40+C outside. Reality did not match photos used in advertising. Laundry was particularly dirty, peeling walls, filthy fans, very tired furniture, dirty bed bases. Swimming pool that looked like it has been under repair for some time (no work done on it while we were there. In fact didn't see any staff during our entire stay.)

- Anna (10/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar - Ruim en comfortabel, goed verzorgd. Aardige beheerder met lieve en speelse hond. Niets
- Angwenyi (9/5): - It was awesome experience The rooms were a bit dusty and lack of salt in the kitchen, for an apartment expected a bit more. Also one couch was faulty and needs maintenance
- Linsell (5/5): It meet our family’s needs and budget. - The apartment was large enough to 10 person family. The maintenance on the property hasn’t been up kept, the beds were very uncomfortable and one of the lounge legs was broken.

- Ida (7/5): -
- Mark (8/5): -
- Algis (6/5): - Kitchen equipment is poorly set up, no wine glasses, no bowls for salad or mixing, only 3 drinking glasses for a 5 bed accommodation, no extraction for cooking resulting in smoke alarm activation.
- Vineeth (10/5): -
- Rebecca (9/5): -
- Kevin (8/5): - I Love the location and the price was reasonable aswell. The toilets needs a remodel.
- Mark (8/5): -
- Kelly (7/5): For the low cost, room is good for a couple of nights stay in a group. - Nice big rooms with a lounge and kitchen. Quiet location just away from the centre of town was good for our group. Kids had space outside to play. Parents could sit outside and socialise. Same rooms next to mine had a full stove and oven. Mine only had a portable cooktop. And cooking provisions (pots, pans, etc) were very mismatched with wrong size lids, etc.
- Besto (5/5): -

- Abdul (6/5): -
- David (5/5): -
- Deborah (7/5): -
- Silvana (6/5): Very sad old apartment. - Very old apartment, couldn’t close security door, bathroom door, or bedroom door. Kitchen wall tiles cracked and leaking wall dust, walls needed painting, couches very old, shower was unusable as had black mold. Never saw a staff member.
- Casey (10/5): Absolutely an amazing experience and understanding of the type of living in Coober Pedy. - Nice layout. Something a true Aussie could embrace Nothing
- Manuela (4/5): Disapointing - Clean towels and comfy bed The property needs a facelift. From the flyscreen at the front door. The patched front wall. Cracks in walls. Cooking pans all worn. Dining chairs wonky. Someone had spilt food ? On lounge....needs to be thoroughly cleaned. No heating . Might be fine in summer but in August it gets down to 3c over night.

A good size wardrobe. Comfy sofa and a big TV with a good choice of channels. Spacious for a family of four. Had cooking facilities and a big fridge. The caretaker was friendly and helpful. He keeps the property clean all the time. His dog 'Dogo' is a lovely girl, she does catch very well. She was the highlight for us. Ample parking right in front of the apartment. Hot water is good. Would definitely go again and highly recommend. We stayed for three nights, family of 4. Nothing to complaint
