We have stayed twice now. Always extremely clean and we love the guest facilities. The guest kitchen is very handy, and as a family we love the sheltered outdoor space with a cubby house and bbq. Our go to place when staying in Coober Pedy now.

This is a must for travelers stopping at Coober Pedy. It’s very unique, clean and has astounding view of the night sky in the evening. It offers parking as well for those who have cars.

Renee, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were amazing! Very friendly and helpful when I arrived. Also, extremely accommodating when i originally messed up my dates. When I arrived in a massive rain storm in a car, they helped me plan places that I would safely and easily make it to in my vehicle. The room was great and held temperatures wonderfully. I highly recommend staying here.

Always great

We were back after a 12 year hiatis. Very comfortable motel room with 2 bedfooms. It is dug into the hillside, which keeps it cool. There is also air con. There is a basic kitchen with thepossibility to cook in the kitchen in the main house. We loved sitting outside for breakfast. Thank you for our wonderful stay!
