WORLDS UNUSUAL HOTELS … DESERT CAVE HOTEL, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Underground or above ground, the choice is yours at Coober Pedy’s Desert Cave Hotel!

The superb sandstone surroundings of Coober Pedy give you the opportunity to eat at outstanding restaurants, bring your business to the impressive convention facilities or shop in style for some of the world’s most impressive opals.

From the air the 250,000 mineshafts littering Coober Pedy and surrounds resemble a beach full of soldier crab holes. And like the crabs, many of the 3500 residents in the largest opal-mining centre in Australia live underground away from the scorching heat - and so can guests at the award-winning Desert Cave Hotel where 19 of the 50 rooms are beneath the surface.
