Over night on way back from APY Lands for work. Have travelled a lot through the bush but this place is truly good value. The rooms are quite large, plenty of space for a family and the natural light is good during the day. Come dusk the back bed rooms are dark as a cave and so quiet. Slept an... More

We stayed here only for 1 night and wished it could have been longer. Tony and Linda were absolutely lovely. They love a chat and make you feel welcome. The apartment was basic but it was very homely and comfortable. The apartments are built into the rock which gave a different atmosphere. The apartment was clean and fully self contained.... More

I stay here quite often (4 or so times a year) with work. I love this place! Tony and Linda are amazing hosts, they feel like long lost friends and have since day one. The apartments are far enough out of town that you never get any trouble, but close enough to walk to town... If the temperature permits! A... More

Good experience to stay in a "cave" in coober pedy , the proper way.... Very good for the price, not a 5 star hotel but of course it isn't for the price and quirkiness . Comfortable and kitchen to cook meals, not to far out of town centre, nice and quiet

Obviously Dillum you stayed in a diffirent place than us.Honesty is a great asset. Shame you tried to hoodwink Tony by sneaking extra people in without paying. 4 of us stayed for 3 nights and cannot agree with your review. The appartment was spotless, and yes, there are ants, BUT, this is Australia and we had ants everywhere we went... More

Dilum sounds like the guy who on both nights, paid for 11 people, but really had 15 people staying in the two rooms - Tony did not charge for these extra people on either night but did charge a one only, small additional fee to cover basic cleaning cost ... Dilum has given a highly inaccurate review of a fantastic... More

We stayed 22nd and 27th of Dec in two 3 bedroom apartments. Both apartments were dirty. Bathrooms hasn't been cleaned. Kitchen area and the bathroom area full of cockroaches and ants. When we complained to Tony, he said that's how it is. Please have everything in writing as they charged extra when you come home for rubbish reasons. he is... More

After 3 stays here I can recommend the Desert View for those people who like honest hospitality, plenty of space and reasonable prices. The rooms here are 2 bedroom apartments rather than motel rooms. Plenty of space to spread out. They also have kitchens if you want to cook. Enjoy the silence and cool of staying underground.
