Coober Pedy Tom's Working Opal Mine Hotels

"Good value motel in this desert town. Room was practical with all required amenities but a little bland (white painted concrete blocks). Good value food available on site with a discount for residents. I would stay there again if passing through Coober Pedy again. Don’t forget to pick up a fly net head covering in the petrol station next door."

"Staff member was friendly and the room wasn't bad. It seemed dated as well as there is minimal airflow and the room gets hot quickly. didn't have breakfast, as well as was nervous to touch anything because of the fear of a cleaning fee "

"We stayed 3 nights in March 2026. Coober Pedy is a dusty place in the outback with flies. We knew this and arrived with fly hats and average expectations with regard to the hotel. It was fun staying in a cave room, which was dusty with cave dust (we even had a small rock fall from the ceiling onto the room table when we were in bed! All part of the experience). We tried the food in the hotel which wasn't great so ventured out and tried a few different local eateries. The hotel pool was clean & secure and very welcome at the end of a hot day. Coober Pedy is a very small town. There's an IGA, restaurants and a few tourist things to do within walking distance of the hotel. Felt pretty safe. Unfortunately for us the Breakaways was closed due to wet weather & unsafe to drive but we went up to the Winch 360 within Coober Pedy town instead to see a nice sunset. There is an outdoor cinema which only operates on Saturdays and we missed that but thought it would've been fun. Also, no orphaned kangeroos to visit when we were there but guess that's a good thing."

"Arrived around 3.30pm, no one in office, had to ring to make contact, the receptionist could see me at the door! Was given a code to retrieve the key. Room was clean, and we were travelling with a dog. A good pet friendly place for Coober Pedy."

"Very friendly host, who organised our room earlier, as we'd been on the overnight bus! Great 'cave' room, with good, clean and comfortable beds. Great shower. Use of kitchen. Laundry available. Definitely recommend!"

"Spacious rooms, easy access, quiet, all you need for a night."

"No National Park"

"Kitchen equipment is poorly set up, no wine glasses, no bowls for salad or mixing, only 3 drinking glasses for a 5 bed accommodation, no extraction for cooking resulting in smoke alarm activation."

"Cool and quirky! A definite core memory for the kids. Close to everything we wanted to see. The whole family loved Di’s Dugouts!! "
