We stayed only one night however it was enough to demonstrate the value for money and customer service here. Mike went out of his way, literally, to make our stay easy even to the point of picking us up from the restaurant in town after dinner. The rooms are well appointed and of course unusual. A simple continental breakfast completes... More

Came through on our way up and back again to Uluru. This great motel was a real bottler and it was well looked forward to on the way home. The rooms were well spaced and family friendly and the beds were the most comfortable of the trip. Placed in a quiet part of town it offered easy access to the... More

We found the motel through a general search and then checked out the Trip Advisor ratings before booking. When we called to reserve a room the receptionist was accommodating and very helpful with directions. The motel is located just outside the main town area and has plenty of parking. We were given one of the lower ground rooms and was... More

Be home in time for sunset, sit on the tables grab your camera and a beer and take it all in. Breakfast was...err... kinda funny, toast with butter, toast with vegemite, toast with jam or cornflakes. We stayed "downstairs" and the room was cool during the day but really hot at night, so hot I couldn't sleep, outside was cool,... More

I stayed for 4nights, I was very happy with the standard of room, the cleanness, and the very friendly and helpful service I received while staying there. Merci was very accommodating, dropping me off, and picking me up, if needed, as there is no taxi service in town. The Underground motel, is within walking distance of the township, and I... More

There are other places to stay in Coober Pedy that are closer to the "town centre" but I doubt if there are many where the service and genuine welcome will be as good as it is here. The rooms are very clean and well equipped. There are reasonably preiced and a very adequate continental breakfast was included in the price... More

Before we arrived, i was a bit hesitant in staying underground, but after arriving felt better about it. Even though you are underground it didnt feel that way. Rooms were nice, not overly big. Everything was clean. Breakfast room was nice. It was great just to be able to walk in and grab a cuppa or leave some drinks in... More

The underground motel is from the start a wonderful experience. Upon arrival the managers Michael and Merce bent over backwards to greet us and make Us welcome. We asked if there was a chance of an upgrade as we required a fridge and with no problem we were offered one. The rooms are not huge but they are adequate and... More
