Hotel berhampiran St Peter & Pauls underground Catholic Church, Coober Pedy

Let down after staying at the Lookout. Rooms really need cooling, not just a fan, just because they say underground it's not really, door opens to car park, we stayed in a ”underground room”. Pool, well I'd not dip my feet in it, there was broken glass near tables, tiles missing, dodgy looking plate things over areas for run off, area really needs a good clean. Lots of money spent on ”underground bar”, stains on room carpet, bathroom was big and okay.

Great room, exceptionally clean and comfortable

Had one night accommodation in August 2024. Pretty average Motel. Stayed at this establishment probably about 30 years ago as well and it looks like the rooms haven't changed since! Bathroom fairly awful and in need of a complete re-furb. Check in very quick and staff very friendly and helpful so no problems there. Nice big bar/dining room which was good. Food at the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. Local inhabitants very noisy until well into the night. Overall OK for a one night stay but probably wouldn't want to stay any longer.

外はとても暑かったのですが、お部屋の中は冷房なしで快適でした。スタッフの方にも大変親切にしていただけて、とても感謝しています。 町にレストランは少ないようですが、お部屋にはお皿やカトラリーが揃っていて、スーパーで買ったりテイクアウトしたりしたものを食べることもできます。朝食でオーストラリアの”ベジマイト”を試すことができたのも良い体験でした。 ピークシーズンではなかったからか、フロントに人がいないことが多かったですが、事前にコミュニケーションをよく取っておけば問題はないと思います。

The room appeared to be newly renovated with kitchen facilities, spacious shower, bed was comfortable, small lounge and square 2 seat dining table. The view from room overlooked the red landscape unique to Coober Pedy. The pool was a good size and the landscaping around the pool area offered a tropical feel amongst the desert terrain. There was a pizza bar and you were able to obtain takeaway beverages, I did not use either facility so unable to comment on food quality. There was a large camp kitchen. Location was slightly out of town so you would need a vehicle to travel to main part of Coober Pedy.

A bit rundown but genuine dugout with a pool and BBQ area. Kindest most lovely helpful manager and cleaner. This the real Coober Pedy Beware though Coober Pedy does not have a taxi service. You need to work out airport transfers before you leave

Yeah it was niceish but average, didn’t come close to expectations.. $250 per night you would expect somewhat high standard. We enjoyed the experience of an underground apartment but majority of accommodation in Coober pedy gives you that experience. Have to admit, the caretaker while the owner was away - not his fault but didn’t know what he was doing. No greeting, no knowledge of tourist stuff in town, was put in different room than expected, breakfast included was 2 apples, 2 bananas, half a loaf of rock hard out of date bread, 2 mini cereal packets (1 out of date) and a million traveller jams delivered on arrival. Aircon was a pedestal fan, had to ask about wifi which was under the verandah at main house up the hill. Our room was next to messy construction site and gear for another room, had to ask for more fruit at least considering we’re there for 2 nights and stuff was expired. He delivered promptly and apologised though. Bathroom had no sanitary bin and half a roll of toilet paper, and roof not fully closed off to the rest of the unit with no ventilation. Beds in second room were covered in rock falling away from roof and through vent so had to move the bed on second night to stop getting woken up by it. No cooking utensils so had to use all our own kitchen camp stuff. Didn’t even want to ask about laundry service at this point. Note behind the door told guests not to “whinge”.. if we asked for things every time they came up we would be walking up and down the hill all day plus the caretaker was hard to locate when needed.

Located about 2km from the town centre and quiet, offering a panoramic view of the arid landscape on the outskirts if Coober Pedy. Some rooms are 'dugouts', others are cabins. The cabins are spacious and equipped with air-conditioning, ensuite bathroom with separate shower, refrigerator, TV and so on. A good safe option for a two night stay and recommended
