Lookout Cave Underground Motel

Well maintained, clean and comfortable rooms. The rooms were well lit and kids felt at ease. Very convenient location and the owners were helpful with providing information about the area and places to eat. We spent 2 nights as a group of 10 and everyone enjoyed their stay. They also have a laundry for guests to use.

Stayed here for one night on the way up to the NT and it was a great spot for a stop over. We stayed in the underground room and it had modern facilities, kettle and fridge. Everything was incredibly clean and staff were very helpful with dinner recommendations. Parking available on site and you can walk just up the top of the motel to see over the town and watch the sunset. Would definitely recommend staying here!

A great stay. Lovely rooms, terrific showers, clean and tidy and great underground atmosphere. Easy access laundry was a bonus. Reception staff lovely to deal with.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lookout Cave Underground Motel! The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. For the price, it offers excellent value — truly great bang for your buck. One of our rooms had a ceiling fan, which was absolutely perfect — it kept the air fresh and cool, and we had such a comfortable and restful sleep. Not stuffy at all! ❤️ The view from the rooftop at night was also amazing, perfect for stargazing. A special shoutout to the friendly and warm-hearted gentleman at the front desk. Even though reception had already closed for the day, he kindly opened the office again just so we could use the microwave — such a thoughtful and generous gesture. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Coober Pedy!

Totally spotless and comfortable place in Australia’s most amazing opal town. Coober Pedy itself has done wonders to market itself so well and the Lookout accomodation was recommended by many. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and will tell everyone to book there. Awesome.

We stayed one night at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, and the gentleman at reception was incredibly kind and welcoming. He took his time to explain all the property features and gave us great guidance without any rush. The room was very clean, comfortable, and the underground setting made it a truly unique experience. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our room and the complex. Spotlessly clean. I was worried about being claustrophobic underground - but did not feel this at all - and there was plenty of space in our family room for 4z Modern bathroom. Very happy. Absolutely loved Coober Pedy 💗

Staying at the Lookout Cave Underground Motel was such a unique experience and such a welcome relief from the heat. (During our stay the outside temperature was 103 degrees.) The motel was very clean and well maintained. The corridor leading to all the rooms was wide making it feel very light and spacious. A window to the corridor was provided for each room to offer ventilation. We had a one bedroom that was well lit and included a bathroom with a toilet, single sink, and shower. We would definitely stay here again!

Unique experience! Have stayed here many times and thoroughly enjoyed it! Always clean and staff are very friendly! However our room this time was lacking somewhere to put our case we found the head board uncomfortable especially with only one pillow! I am being picky now but it would be nice to have shower gel, shampoo etc. But more than anything it would be nice to have some kind of seating on top of the cave even if it is just a plank to sit on as the ground is uneven and very stony, we took a picnic up to watch the sunset but for 4 of us it was difficult to find 4 patches to sit on!

A great place to stay for the true underground experience. Ambience: The photos here are to be believed - the rooms are clean, well appointed and surprisingly spacious given they are dug underground. The temperature was kept just right and it's a good quiet place too. Got some great photos of sunrise and sunset over CP. Service: Great staff. It's a family owned business and they all like their work. Nick (the father) is a pleasant Greek ex-pat who picked us up at the airport (complete with name-sign) and dropped us off when we were to head out. He's an ex-miner too, so he can tell some stories about how the town has changed and what opal mining life is like. Good free WiFi. Food: My only complaint - there is no restaurant or even so much as a vending machine. You can get a very basic breakfast but other than that you will have to go into town for meals. That's a 6 block walk each way and since the place is up on a hill, it's not great after a long active day. Price: Quite reasonable and less than some of the places downtown which weren't "underground". Book early as the place is nearly always full. But worth it to get the sense of living underground.
