We were back after a 12 year hiatis. Very comfortable motel room with 2 bedfooms. It is dug into the hillside, which keeps it cool. There is also air con. There is a basic kitchen with thepossibility to cook in the kitchen in the main house. We loved sitting outside for breakfast. Thank you for our wonderful stay!

Friendly greeting and there is covered parking. Very noisy in windy conditions and emergency preparations were woeful when power was cut.

This is was a great experience. The owner/manager provided excellent service. Great suggestions for dinner and for the underground mine museum. The kitchen was very well stocked and very clean. There is a barbecue which would have been great to use but we chose to go out to Big Winch 360 on their recommendation. It was excellent.

The Underground Motel is a unique place to stay as you are underground. I was picked up and dropped off at the airport. The rooms are cleaning and the couple who run it are very friendly and helpful.

10/10

Check-in was quick, easy and welcoming. Our underground room was meticulously clean, a comfortable temperature and very quiet. The shared kitchen was generously set up and roomy, with plenty of crockery and appliances and the staff were very helpful and friendly - as well as understanding and generous about an accidental breakage in our shower. It is an excellent place to stay while you explore this fascinating town.
