One staff member Bev gave us a ride in her own car to the Greyhound coach stop at 5:00am while still very dark. We had no other option. No courtesy shuttle was provided by the hotel and no taxi service. We were almost left stranded in CP if it wasnt for the kind offer from Bev. Thank you Bev.

I was in room 3Ma, and it was great. I felt like a hobbit. It was a delight.
I liked the beauty and peace of the room which was a sharp contrast to the above ground streetscape, of rubble and dust.
3rd or 4th visit to Coober Pedy...love the place.

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.
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.

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
Our stay at 894 Holly Court was just brilliant. For our first time staying in Coober Pedy we were a bit nervous about staying underground, but Holly Court put all those fears at rest the minute we walked through the door.
The house was beautiful and very large. All rooms were exceptionally furnished, the kitchen was lovely and the bathroom was stunning. Couldn't have asked for more.
This was not a room but an appartmwnt. It was huge and underground. Now i have been to coober pedy before, and know how hard some things are to achieve. Some areas e.g the bathroom are not completely finished to 5 star level but over all, it is excellent. Would stay again.
We stayed in the Underground room. The concept was excellent and we liked the novelty of it. It was a large room with a good size bathroom that you would expect. The location of the hotel was in the heart of Coober Pedy so it was convenient.
Loved the experience of staying underground in Coober Pedy. It was a little bit out of the town but close giving us good space and privacy.
-Great views of the landscape and the township when you walk out the front.
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.
It was very comfortable living underground, beautifully fitted out and everything we needed.
Staff were so helpful showing us ways to make the most of our time in Coober Pedy.
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.
Super clean and comfortable space. Loved the underground experience. Ali's local tips were really helpful and took our stay in Coober Pedy to the next level.
The underground room was awesome. Very clean and well presented. Mike was very friendly and made us feel very welcome to Coober Pedy. Highly Recommend.
