Compare Coober Pedy airport accommodation from NZ$140

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.

Bed was uncomfortable and bathroom was filthy. Toilet had been used, nit flushed or cleaned. Coffee ups had not been washed and left with residue. Will never stay there again.
