Good value motel in this desert town. Room was practical with all required amenities but a little bland (white painted concrete blocks). Good value food available on site with a discount for residents. I would stay there again if passing through Coober Pedy again. Don’t forget to pick up a fly net head covering in the petrol station next door.
