Firstly, this is one of the strangest hotels you will ever stay in. Situated in Coober Pedy, in the South Austrlian Outback, many of its rooms are carved out of the hills. This is a traditional building style in Coober Pedy where summer temps go over 40 degrees, this style protects from the high and low temps. The 'dug out'... more

Booked an 'underground room' and arrived after a 9 hour drive to be told that none were available and had been given to a bus group. With so many other options in Coober Pedy, I would have booked somewhere else, underground and cheaper - but there was no offer of refund or decent explaination. Highly overrated hotel. more

We had breakfast at the hotel, expensive, and for a similar price, had an excellent evening meal at the Underground... more
