Coober Pedy Experience Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The Experience was a different experience which we both enjoyed.... the staff were extremely helpful, even organising me a shower chair. We observed that the carpet walking from our room 6 needed urgent repair where it was raised and a toe of anyone's shoe could be caught in it and cause a serious fall. Our Continental breakfast was average and should be included in the price... as we thought a $20 each charge for what was there was VERY steep!!!! Otherwise ALL great.... their opal gifts were extremely affordable."
