Hotéis com bares em Coober Pedy

In their internet site they say: ”FREE AIRPORT TRANSFERS FOR GUESTS”. So I emailed them and asked for a transfer from the airport. Their answer: ”this will depend on the cleaning of rooms”… What? I emailed them again, and this time their answer was: ”This can be arranged for you”. What do you mean ”can be arranged ”? arrange it! I emailed them for the third time, and this time they said: ”We will endeavor to do our best as long as the flight is not delayed”. Well, the flight was not delayed. It arrived in Coober Pedy exactly on time, and surprise surprise, no one was at the airport to take us! We stood there hopelessly, until a local who works at the airport pitied us and brought us to the motel. Do you think that someone at the motel mentioned the incident? Apologized? Ha! The room was not clean enough. When we turned on the AC, pieces of some sort of trash came flying down from the upper vents. We had to turn it off. The next morning, we put the sign PLEASE TIDY UP MY ROOM on the doorknob. When we came back, we saw that nothing was done. We asked why and got the answer: ”Guests can only use the other side of the sign – DO NOT DISTURB”…

It was very hot outside, but the room was comfortable without air conditioning. I am very grateful to the staff for being so kind to me. There don't seem to be many restaurants in town, but the rooms are stocked with plates and cutlery, and you can eat food you buy at the supermarket or take out. It was also a great experience to try Australian Vegemite for breakfast. Perhaps because it wasn't the peak season, there were often no people at the front desk, but I don't think there will be any problems if you communicate well in advance.

I have been to Coober Pedy many times, and I am most satisfied with this miner ⚒️ apartment. Underground miner ⚒️ apartment, light luxury underground accommodation. The room is oversized and goes out 50 meters to watch the sunrise from the observation deck. Too good value accommodation, you can see the sunrise of the desert view of Coober Pedy.

Edward is a fantastic host, very courteous and knowledgeable about the town. The accommodation is away from the Main Street, but we preferred this. We popped out for dinner and was only a 2 min drive to the eating places. Being underground was lovely and cool, refreshing after a long drive. Laundry facilities and cold drinks to purchase within the room are very convenient. The inside lounge area is communal but no one else was in room 5 (we had room 4) so we had it to ourselves. There is an assortment of beverages stocked in the lounge room, available for guests to purchase. There is an outdoor eating area, attached to a full kitchen, with a clothes washer and dryer. A full size fridge is allocated for each room, so easy to self-cater if you want to. There is an IGA supermarket in town. The bedrooms are nice, tidy and spacious. Bathroom is fresh, clean and lovely hot water. Room 4 has a QB and 2 singles. Our dog was happy with the yard space in the front, and lots of inside room for relaxing. Highly recommend for anyone with or without a pet, and will 100% be back when next passing through.

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.

I first heard of Coober Pedy on social media, for its underground homes When I checked on the map where it was, and realized it was on the way from Adelaide to Uluru, I decided to stop there for the night, and to do so in an underground home I checked what were the options, and Di's place quickly appeared to me as the best one I contacted her, she was super responsive, and friendly. She warned me she wouldn't be in town and so wouldn't be able to meet, but would love chat and give me a rundown on the dugouts and the town must sees, and I immediately felt I had made the right choice (to be noted, even if she is not home, and can't chat with you beforehand, she has a well made booklet waiting for you that will tell you all) When I arrived I got welcomed by a friend of hers, who helped me enjoy my time in town even more The place is unique, for being a dugout, bringing the benefit of underground homes for the temperatures, while you still get some daylight coming in from one side It is huge, with a patio, 3 bedrooms (with comfortable beds), 2 bathrooms (one with direct access from the bedroom, the other one featuring a spa), a kitchen, a living room... It is well equipped, with lots of kitchen appliances (including fridge, microwaves, oven, burner, teapot, coffee machine, toaster), washing machine, TV, books, boardgames... Wifi works really well By the way, I originally was gonna spend only a night there, but Di convinced me it would be better to spend another one, to spend a full day in town to explore it, and I'm so glad I did, as there's much to see: Old Timers Mine & Museum, churches (including the Serbian one), Crocodile Harry's Underground Nest, Breakaways, a kangaroo orphanage, an aboriginal art and artefacts, opal shops... Actually, in the end I would have even liked to stay a 3rd night, but it was then already booked In short: a great town, a great home, a great host So, my recommendation, don't miss your chance, stop in Coober Pedy, book this place, and do so as soon as you can to make sure it's available for your time in town (and don't hesitate to take an extra night)
