10/10 Exceptional

I’d been curious to visit Coober Pedy for quite some time and wanted to stay in an authentic (but comfortable!) dugout. I looked at a few different places and finally settled on a double deluxe room at the Underground Motel. It was the perfect mix of feeling like a real dugout with a small kitchen, bathroom, wi-fi, aircon, hot water etc. The owners are a friendly couple, chatty and welcoming. And very kindly collected me from the airport when I arrived and dropped me off in town ahead of the evening Greyhound bus to Port Augusta.
