The Underground Motel

Lovely little place. The room was really cool. There was a somewhat unpleasant smell, but it wasn’t that much of an issue. Would highly recommend for a nice place to stay for a night or two.

We stayed here recently for the second time and it is a great place and good to stay when in Coober Pedy. The rooms are all very quaint in the underground style. Some rooms include a kitchen and all have use of the very well equipped common kitchen. The rooms are all clean and comfortable and reasonably priced. I would recommend The Underground for a different accommodation experience.

The service we received was exceptional. The owner went above and beyond to help us when we had some car trouble. The room was great as we got to experience underground living which was surprisingly cool when it was hot and steamy outside. The view is amazing and a welcome distraction from the rather dull and depressing town centre.

Not a bad spot, good rooms. Can be a bit warm inside due to the dugout drives facing the midday and afternoon sun. Other than that it's quite nice.

We loved staying here! Easy check-in process and great service. Host arranged easy late check in for us the 2nd time we stayed here. Great facilities and incredibly helpful and friendly host that gave us a map and suggested many places for us to visit in Coober Pedy.

The room is tiny. The bed only just qualifies as a double. It is tucked right up into the corner so one person pretty much rubs against a rock face all night. If you are a sound sleeper that isn't bothered by light from the hall way out side that penetrates straight through the poor attempt at curtaining said light from the hallway, you may stand a chance? Maybe they could just turn the lights off? I mean, isn't that part of the attraction of sleeping underground, the idea that it's pitch black at anytime through the day? The bathroom was quite cramped as well. No bar fridge, no air con, it's quite warm in there. The fan only does half a job. Constant dripping noises through pipework that can't be seen to add to the annoyance. And our room didn't have the bed bugs.... Yes, the second room that I had booked had bed bugs. My friend who had come from interstate to join us on an outback adventure also had bed bugs to deal with, the the previous said issues. They did reimburse him for the room, no offer of compensation for the bug sprays, washing of clothes etc that we inevitably had to do in order to prevent infestation at our home upon our return.After trying to post my review on the site that I booked through, the hotel subsequently listed my stay as a no show which I suspect is in order to prevent this review coming to the light of day. Hence me now posting it as a Google review.

This motel is absolutely clean! Beautiful rooms. Staff is very friendly, and helpful. It’s my dream to stay this underground hotel! I regretted to stay only one night.

Stayed for 2 nights here. Check in was fast and easy and pleasently handled by Erin. Room was nice and clean. Great experience sleeping at this motel. Although the room we booked had no cooking facilities, there was a small shared kitchen that had everything you needed. Stove, fridge, cultlery, plates, pots and pans, complimentary tea coffe milk sugar. The service given was really good. The owners were very attentive, polite and friendly. I dont think id be in cooper pedy again any time soon but if i were to visit again, id definately be booking here. Ill also be recommending this place to others.

This place was an awesome find. Rooms were very clean. Amenities were great. Erin and her husband were a delight. Views were fantastic. Highly recommend staying here for your underground motel experience.
