in
Coober Pedy, Outback South Australia, is an independent,
family style operated, Underground Accommodation Premises,
located in the centre of town - 200 metres from shops
& restaurants.
Originally an Opal Mine from the 1960s, it was converted in
the mid-1980s to 10 Motel Rooms, 12 Budget Rooms and 12
Dormitories. Underground Accommodation in a Desert Cave is a Coober Pedy Attraction.
8 of the Motel Rooms are 3.5m under a sandstone ridge & you

windows. The Budget Rooms & Dorms are 6.5m Underground
underneath the Motels,
down 34 steps.
60% of us who live in Coober Pedy live Underground to avoid
the heat of Summer. If it is 45°c outside, Underground it is
26°c - 28°c - Winter Nights can be Close To Zero°,
Underground it is 20°c - 22°c.
"WARM IN WINTER, COOL IN SUMMER"
Come & have a night or two with us, see first hand how & why
we live Underground. Enjoy the novelty of being a Coober
Pedian. You will be made most welcome.
