Holly Place, hotel in Coober Pedy

Located in Coober Pedy in the South Australia region, Holly Place provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

We had a very brief but wonderful one night stay at Holly Place. The beds and couch were very comfortable and everything was well equipped. The place was also very clean, which must be a bit of a feat given the dusty surroundings. Thanks for making our stay in Coober Pedy memorable.

894 Holly Court, hotel in Coober Pedy

Set in Coober Pedy in the South Australia region, 894 Holly Court offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

I liked the style of the property, being underground, and the layout of the house was really good, with one metre thick walls between some rooms, and the art on the walls was good too. Also, the parking right outside the front door was great, and the provisions and supplies were generous and sufficient for our needs. Very close to the centre of Coober Pedy also.

Located in Coober Pedy in the South Australia region, Down to Erth B&B provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property features garden views.

The hosts were extremely welcoming and the accommodation was very clean and just as expected. This underground house is worth staying at and would encourage anyone who is travelling through the area to stay there. The sunset and stars you can see are amazing. Also a shout out to the hosts for recommending Port Germain as a great stop on our travels. It was well worth it!

    Much of the town being underground is something worth experiencing, the people were friendly and helpful, and we visited in April during cooler weather and it was pleasant. We have previously been there in the heat of summer and it's NOT so nice, dusty and hot, which is obviously why most of the town live underground. The nearby Breakaways Conservation Park is definitely worth visiting; you can do a round trip through the Breakaways from Coober Pedy in around 90 mins including at least 30m at the various lookouts and photo vantage points. The colours from brilliant white to deep reds is amazing and the area is so different to the surrounding arid land. The food and service at the Big Winch is superb and it's also a great vantage point to see the town and surrounding area from. I would also recommend John's Pizza Bar in the main street and the Outback Bar and Grill attached to one of the servos serves decent grub too, as well as signature Outback Shiraz (from the Barossa Valley) for about $25/bottle that went down well. Definitely a better town in the cooler months if you dislike the heat.

    We stayed two nights, which meant one full day. Next time I would put in either 3 or 4 nights, giving 2 or 3 full days. In our one day we saw one mine, drove out to the Salt & Pepper rock formation, then had time for some drone shots above some of the mine hills out on the highway. The evening before that, we at least saw sunset from the Big Winch, which was a great introduction to the town. Another day would enable another mine visit at the very least ... since the mines are the most interesting thing about Coober Pedy.

    Coober Pedy is a opal mining capital of the world. It is an interesting place to visit for a day or two to learn about its mining history, specific life in the Australian desert and to experience a true outback.

    We have now stopped twice at Coober Pedy, once for lunch and fuel, and this time for an overnight sleep driving to Darwin and have no desire to ever return. Only reason to go there if you really need to stay underground or are interested in the mining history. The town has nothing to recommend itself.

    Our favourite place for dining was the Big Winch 360 with a wide variety on the menu. The food was delicious too. Our favourite places were the Breakaways which we visited twice in our three days stay. This was by far the highlight of our visit. We also visited the following exciting places: 1. Underground Serbian Ortgodox church 2. Underground Catholic Church 3. Old Timers Mine 4. Umoona Opal Mine and Museum It is very easy to get around Coober Pedy

    Splendid location. We were welcomed by Irene and Mike who showed us around and gave us good advice on sightseeing. The house was large and airy and well-designed and if you want the full Coober Pedy experience of underground living, this is a perfect example. It is just outside town, so you get an amazing view of the Breakaways. We could literally dance under the stars and this is the most amazing sky in the daytime and at even more so at night. The breakfast was left in the fridge and cupboards for us and was very nice too.

    Didn't like a thing! It was the worst place we stayed in our 3 week holiday. We stayed at another place in Coober Pedy on our way North, same price point, entirely different experience. Cannot recommend this place in any way!! There are much better places (at the same price) to stay in Coober Pedy. Do not stay here! It was cold, dirty, delapitated and owner could not be contacted. It was absolutely pot luck (& a kind neighbour) who knew where they left the key and was able to let us in.

    Manager Paul was fantastic to deal with. We were arriving to the town late at night, so he upgraded us to a property that would be easier to locate in the dark at no extra cost. The accommodation was amazing the way it was built, and it was nice and cool without any air conditioning. Highly recommend the experience staying underground. The place was pet friendly and our two little chihuahuas had the best time running around.

    This is a place perfectly in tune with its surroundings and a wonderful introduction to the joys of underground living. Extremely well appointed and spacious it is a stunning contrast to the post apocalyptic landscape that characterises most of the surrounding area. I can’t imagine a better place to stay on a road trip through Central Australia.

    If you go to Coober Pedy you really need to stay in a dugout. Ali's dugout is well furnished, clean, comfortable and in a great location for the sunrise. We met Ali (pronounced Alley) and she is a terrific hostess. Ensuring we had an enjoyable stay was a priority for her. I'm going back one day and hope her home is available then.

    This was our first underground accommodation in Coober Pedy - we were very impressed. I think the cleanliness of the room and especially the bathroom was why we gave 10 for everything. The kitchen was spotless as well. We’ll be back!
