We stayed a couple of weeks ago (on way to Uluru) and were very disappointed that our room was not clean. Having already booked for the return journey we were not looking forward to our stay, however it was much cleaner this time. The room was dated but overall clean and comfortable. There is lots to do for a day in Coober Pedy and the Breakaways are beautiful in the late afternoon.

Well situated, easy parking and a large 2 bed apartment which looked as if it had been very comfortable when new. However it was a bit tired looking and unfortunately hadn’t been cleaned very well - we had to clean horrible sticky marks from the bedside cabinets and there was a dirty tissue on the floor. Also (not the hotels fault) a noisy party was taking place in the room next to us until very late at night.
