"Good experience for underground places."

"-Very roomy ... four men lived comfortably for over five weeks with no problems. -Location is good ... very close to town and the Stewart Highway. Far enough to be very peaceful and quiet yet only a few minutes away from anything. Special note: the view of the valley and the stars was impressive! -Dean, the owner, keeps the property bright and green. I was all over Coober Pedy and Dean's place was the greenest in the area with lots of plants that he regularly cares for. The front entry was is a very nice and cool place to relax because of all the plants he has growing there. -Facility very clean, neat and orderly. Dean, cleaned up regularly and made sure we always had clean sheets on the beds and plenty of clean towels. He also kept us well-stocked with coffee! All of this was not an easy task keeping up with the four of us! -Dean is also an opal miner and freely shared many interesting stories. He also taught a few of us how to find opals and directed us to areas rarely traveled by tourist. He even provided some small tools to help collect opals. One of us harvested quite a few opals and cool looking specimens all were "potch" and not worth anything, but he had plenty of fun doing it! -Dean also provided an excellent history of Coober Pedy and where to go and where not to go, who to trust and those we should not trust. He was spot-on with everything. -All in all, the "Hidden Gem" was an interesting once-in-a-lifetime experience in itself ..."

"Great experience "

"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."
