Hotels near Coober Pedy Airport - CPD, Coober Pedy

Nothing really to do unless you haven't done opal mining before, beside shop in opal stores, all the eateries were basically the same, Tommy crow was painting in Josephine's gallery, good aboriginal artwork that was a highlight

Coober Pedy is unique, once in a lifetime experience. Look past the dust and machinery and look under ground and meet the fascinating people. Opal is so beautiful and a perfect keepsake. It is worth paying money for the tours as you learn so much about the history and the people.

I love visiting Coober Pedy for a day, or perhaps two. It's a great place to drive into from either direction - fantastic landscapes - and it's the right place to buy opals or opal jewellery. It also has a really good range of accomodation and eateries for such a small town.

Only stayed overnight as travelling through. But did visit Umoona museum and mine tour and that was amazing and great value for money. Local IGA was well stocked, good variety. Outback Bar and Grill great food, but some portion sizes for some meals are questionable (pork ribs and salt and pepper squid).

A different world. Amazing scenery. Breakaways must be seen. Go night noodling ,(hire special infra red lights). Only drive in still in use in South Australia. Great restaurants. Johns Pizza. Best pizza ever, also catered for gluten free. Eat inside or out. Always busy but worth dining in or take away. 360 Winch. Great meals. Perfect steaks. Souvenirs to the side. Pleasant to eat inside or out on the lawn area.

Awesome place to explore. The old timers mine was very interesting. The Big Rig 360 was great for a meal and sunset drink. The underground motel is a must do experience. If it's not in your budget they will let you have a look around the building and have a cuppa, if the cafe is open.
