Ramond responded quickly to our phone call so that we could register straight away. We did arrive a bit earlier than we had advised.
It would be a good idea to provide a night light - I always carry one and it proved very useful as there are no windows and it got VERY dark when we turned all the lights off.
The kitchen was great and the gas oven worked well. However, it is a bit under equipped for self-catering and we had to improvise. (Roasting pan instead of baking tray ...).
The suite that we were in was the one shown on the web page and it lived up to expectations!
All round a great experience!

Room was very clean unfortunately it was cleaned with bleach and that’s all you could smell all night the bed was a double but was advertised as a Queen
No milk or soap or shampoo and definitely nothing for breakfast for a B&B but heaps of coffee & sugar and the help had no idea what to do 😞

On balance, well pleased with our stay. This was an amazingly quirky place staying underground was a once in a lifetime experience for us. A major disappointment was no Internet though from our understanding this was a factor beyond the owners control

It was the first time for us to visit Coober Pedy. The whole underground experience was amazing. It looked like the settings in Star Wars!

My advice is do not arrive there in the dark. It was so hard to find! There were roads but not much street lights so it was a bit scary to drive in the complete darkness.

Bring shampoo and conditioner. They provide soaps though.

The air inside was a bit stuffy. I understand it's underground. No windows and no ventilation. It could be the same anywhere if it's underground accommodations.

I didn't see the air conditioner. They provide a fan. We went there in the early September so it was perfect weather for us.

Incredible experience sleeping in the dug out. View from location is beautiful looking over the desert. Rooms and kitchen were clean given how remote this area is. Mobile reception is none and wifi is also intermittent.
Property is good if someone wants to have that unique experience of sleeping in dugout.

Coober Pedy's scorching summer heat was no match for the cool comfort of our underground dugout! At a steady 23 degrees, it was a welcome respite from the blistering temperatures outside. Despite a sudden flash flood that swept through the town, our elevated dugout remained completely unaffected.
While the main bed might have been a bit firm for some, we slept soundly each night, undisturbed by any discomfort. The property's lack of air conditioning was a non-issue, as the constant cool temperature and a gentle fan breeze kept us perfectly comfortable.
Raymond, the caretaker, was incredibly hospitable. He not only ensured a smooth check-in but also went the extra mile by taking us on a fascinating tour of his opal mine. His warm hospitality and local insights truly enhanced our stay.
We can't wait to return to this unique and peaceful retreat.

Stay here if you get the chance

This place is a true quirk of a BnB. Hewn into the rock face, the room is down a shaft and inside a man made cave.

Most revelled facilities considering where it is nd who made it!

One the most friendly and welcoming places I have ever visited!
Mike went out of his way to make me feel welcome - we had some car trouble (emu 😂) and he went over and above to help us.
He even organised some amazing activities for my wife and I while we had no transport.
You won’t find a better place to stay in Coober Pedy - don’t miss out!

Tall man Raymond was very accommodating , informative and kind.
We stayed in a seemingly brand new and large room that had a queen size bed and a double bed. Mattresses were very nice and new. Spotless room. Peaceful place. Next time we will try a dugout. It’s also clean and new . We spoke with the folks who were staying there and they loved it. Hope to come back and visit soon. It is very close to town and is quiet location with fantastic views of the sunrise.

This motel is interesting, whilst I stayed in an above ground room, the owners are building underground rooms. My accommodation was excellent, brand new, comfortable and clean.
The manager was attentive and efficient.
What I liked most was the surroundings: out of the way, vast horizon and beautiful sunset.

I really enjoyed my stay at Venus Hill. The location overlooked a beautiful plane, and the cabin had everything I needed for a relaxing night and efficient morning. I am heading back to Adelaide in a few months and will likely stay again.

Underground and demountable accommodation

We picked this venue as it offered the cheapest underground accommodation as well as a barbecue. However, while the site offers underground accommodation, their cheapest triple room is in a (very clean, very well maintained) demountable.

Additionally, the barbecue is only available to certain rooms.

The under ground apartment was great in so many ways. Getting to experience the Coober Pedy style of living even for a short time offered an insight into the the place. The design of the space was well thought out and interesting at every turn. And our host Raymond took good care of us, told us a few stories and then left us to enjoy the space. Highly recommended for comfort and interest!!

The property is in the mining fields so it is really authentic. There are long range views from the hilltop. It is owner built. We did both the container above ground and the dugout as an upgrade. The owners are into.opal mining themselves. Non commercial, very grassroots. It is the real deal but well done too. Thanks for a great experience, never forgotten. A night underground.

Stay Away !!!!!

I have to say firstly, for credibility's sake only, im a Gold customer staying in over 30 hotels per year for business and pleasure, and I've never left a bad review. However, we had an absolute appalling experience with this property, and the very aggressive and dishonest owner/operator. We arrived at a filthy, dingy property, with an old oil drum and tyre to drive around. No one was there, the office enterance was covered in a ripped green garden netting and everywhere was filthy. I called the owner on the phone, who insisted on cash payment, allbeit politely at first. We had a disagreement on this, and he simply told me if i couldnt pay him cash, then we should \"go away\". He wouldnt then answer the phone to hotels.com Has this place changed hands since the last reviews ? Who knows, but on my experience I promise you should stay away ! You have been warned !!!!
