Book Cheap Hotels in Lake Eyre Basin

"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."

"Great rooms that were fully equipped. Lots of storage and parking. Efficient air conditioners. Nice staff restaurant nice. Beautiful location but terrible for flies. "

"Staff member was friendly and the room wasn't bad. It seemed dated as well as there is minimal airflow and the room gets hot quickly. didn't have breakfast, as well as was nervous to touch anything because of the fear of a cleaning fee "

"The grounds of the property are well kept & charming. The cabin was very clean & comfortable with a very useful little kitchen. The town of Longreach is a cute & interesting place"

"We stayed 3 nights in March 2026. Coober Pedy is a dusty place in the outback with flies. We knew this and arrived with fly hats and average expectations with regard to the hotel. It was fun staying in a cave room, which was dusty with cave dust (we even had a small rock fall from the ceiling onto the room table when we were in bed! All part of the experience). We tried the food in the hotel which wasn't great so ventured out and tried a few different local eateries. The hotel pool was clean & secure and very welcome at the end of a hot day. Coober Pedy is a very small town. There's an IGA, restaurants and a few tourist things to do within walking distance of the hotel. Felt pretty safe. Unfortunately for us the Breakaways was closed due to wet weather & unsafe to drive but we went up to the Winch 360 within Coober Pedy town instead to see a nice sunset. There is an outdoor cinema which only operates on Saturdays and we missed that but thought it would've been fun. Also, no orphaned kangeroos to visit when we were there but guess that's a good thing."

"Parking is near the room , can't speak for the other rooms but the 1 I stayed in wasn't very clean , floors looked like they wern't vaccumed for weeks , dirty walls in the shower area and kitchenette . to be honest for what they charge I wont stay there again ."
