Hotels Near St Peter & St Paul Catholic Church in Coober Pedy

Just entered the town of Cooberpety, wow, was shocked! So beautiful, the hotel is the most exclusive of the town, with bars, restaurants, and museums. Our room is underground and very characteristic, it is worth a try.

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”…

I have said that the comment is ”basic accommodation”. I don't have any concept. Now I understand that the situation of the room and facilities is probably the standard of the domestic farmhouse. There are a lot of indigenous people around the hotel. I need to take care of the property. I heard the sound at the door at three o'clock in the evening. I quietly opened the curtains and looked at the old lady who turned the trash. The Indians at the front desk were very polite. The hotel has a The restaurant does not have to run outside. If you don't want to live underground, there are very few choices. This is cheap and health will be justified. If you want to be better, you still have to live big4.

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.

The room appeared to be newly renovated with kitchen facilities, spacious shower, bed was comfortable, small lounge and square 2 seat dining table. The view from room overlooked the red landscape unique to Coober Pedy. The pool was a good size and the landscaping around the pool area offered a tropical feel amongst the desert terrain. There was a pizza bar and you were able to obtain takeaway beverages, I did not use either facility so unable to comment on food quality. There was a large camp kitchen. Location was slightly out of town so you would need a vehicle to travel to main part of Coober Pedy.

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.

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.

Located about 2km from the town centre and quiet, offering a panoramic view of the arid landscape on the outskirts if Coober Pedy. Some rooms are 'dugouts', others are cabins. The cabins are spacious and equipped with air-conditioning, ensuite bathroom with separate shower, refrigerator, TV and so on. A good safe option for a two night stay and recommended
