We were welcomed at check in by smiling staff and were able to park our camper van in the courtyard. It was a welcome night in a hotel after camping for the last three nights. The room has a great bed and pillows for a comfortable sleep. All the amenities you would expect. The sandstone makes for a brilliant red... More

My husband and I stayed in one of the underground rooms at the Desert Cave Hotel on our way to Uluru. It was a great experience. The room was clean and modern, although you do get a little bit of dust from the earth walls. The king size bed was comfortable and the in house movies were good. The bathroom... More

Coober Pedy is hardly on the beaten track except it is just off the Stuart Highway and served daily by Greyhound bus plus there is an airport with flights in from adelaide. We flew in and took the bus out to Alice Springs. Visiting is a must for those looking for opals. This hotel is main one in the town... More

My husband and I stayed at Desert Cave Hotel for 1 night on the way from Port Auguasta to Uluru in Dec 2011. The hotel was built in roughly 80's. The roon is of a reasonable size but the room charge is over its value. The room is dark and the air smells funny which we thought make sense, since... More

We were looking forward to our stay in Coober Pedy and had booked what was to be the "best" place in Coober Pedy. I didn't have high expectations (my preconceptions) and was surprised by this hotel. It really has the ambitions to be a 4star hotel. But there are a few shortcomings that keep me from agreeing. The staff is... More

As I note in another recent review we also stayed here for two nights as part of a Lake Eyre holiday package. I had previously stayed at the hotel in 1995 and it is exactly as I remembered it. It is, of course, very different being the "world's only underground international hotel" and being located in one of the more... More

Recently visited the Desert Cave for a planned 2 night's accommodation as part of a flying adventure to the region incorporating a flight over Lake Eyre but due to an unexpected problem with the aircraft we spent an additional 3 nights in a unique underground four star room. The room itself was great, supported by excellent quality and choice of... More

We stayed two nights at this hotel as part of a Lake Eyre travel package.I was happy with my accommodation. The staff are mostly sourced from overseas on special work visas so have no real local knowledge or experience, however, I found them all well mannered and helpful. The restaurant, Umbertos, is very good. The prices are higher than city... More
