Fodor's Expert Review The Underground Motel

Catacomb Rd. at Big Johns Rd., Coober Pedy, South Australia, 5723, Australia

The Breakaways sometimes seem close enough to touch at this hilltop motel, where you can lounge on a veranda watching the sun set on the rock formations 30 km (19 miles) across the desert. Each room is uniquely shaped, comfortably furnished, and decorated with Aboriginal designs. Two secluded suites have kitchenette facilities, and main rooms share a communal kitchen.

PROS

  • lovely patio to sit out on and watch the stars
  • very helpful owners
  • small cubby house for children

CONS

  • slightly out of town, which in the heat is a disadvantage
  • rooms are a little dated
  • can be noisy on windy days on account of the air shaft
