The Desert Cave hotel was a pretty awesome experience, felt like we've had the Coober Pedy underground house stay without having to forgo luxury amenities. The kitchen was great and the location central.

Good experience but would only be a once off. Rooms were large and tidy, but dated. No Air con, just a fan which made the room a bit stuffy.

The hotel has different room types. The cave room is worth staying in. If you bring children, it is recommended to book a normal room on the ground. The cave room is very distinctive, but a bit depressing. People with claustrophobia should be careful!
