Felt like a lived-in dugout, not just one dressed up to be tourist accommodation. Loved sitting on the little porch looking across the pebble driveway and road to the dugouts built into the hill opposite.
Two bathrooms were a plus.
The owner has a book asking for suggestions which is a great attitude.

Exactly as advertised, awesome dugout experience with great amenities. Nice big spa is a great bonus, and Di the perfect host, even provided a fire pit and wood.

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. 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.

Panoramic view at Breakaways Conservation Park and Kanku National Park. The hospitality of the bride's mother in allowing guests to explore her exceptional dugout accommodation is exceptional. Awesome huge dugout, with many artistic displays

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.
Underground is definitely the way to stay in Coober Pedy !! We loved opening the door to a very different look to the everyday room !! Had a choice of beds and we went for the one that was in a cave within a cave !! Ali is so well organized and saved us a trip to tourist info - so good to have maps and tourist tips supplied in the room ( as well as very clear checkin info pre arrival)
The room was super cute, loved the aesthetic of it being underground and the style of hotel made me feel like I was in another country.
The room was quite spacious, beds were pretty comfy and the fan was great as there was no air-conditioning.
Friendly staff. Perfect outside area to watch sunset, cute little table and chairs and a swinging chair was a great touch.
This accommodation was delightful within walking distance to one of Coober Pedy best diners. Our room was clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet, as it was a very busy time. Although we were only doing an overnight stopover, we would’ve been happy to stay longer if time had permitted.
Due to renovations we stayed in a unit near town (underground). Our dog was allowed to stay with us which was fantastic.
Unit was spacious clean and comfortable. Not 5 star but this is Coober Pedy and you must experience under ground living. Would stay here again.
This was such a unique place to visit, we absolutely loved our time there and glad that we chose to stay there. It is like an underground palace, so much space and such a wonderful feel to it. Everything we wanted and more! Would highly recommend to anyone.
Ali's email with all the information needed to get to and access the apartment was so helpful and detailed. As well as a great introduction on places to see and things to do at Coober Pedy. Loved my first experience of sleeping underground!
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.
Unique underground experience - only in Coober Pedy! 18 m under ground, spacious, clean, outdoor area with bbq next to own kitchen. Friendly host and explains all the sights and things to do around town
Location was out of town but a good location to get the feel of what Coober Pedy is like.
Very well appointed accommodation for a family, we travelled with four children.
Had to go and the 2 main things to do in Coober Pedy is shop for opals and experience living underground. Authentic, clean and comfortable, great place to stay.
motel about 2k from town and good mobile reception. In Coober Pedy its always going to be dusty, underground living, the Coober Pedy Experience love it.
Location was great. Was cool to be staying underground. Enjoyed reading the booklet left out by the host about the history of herself and the cottages,
