Wow, what can I say about the Desert View Motel. This place has the WOW factor, fantastic accommodations, spacious, clean and the owner Tony who greeted us on arrival, blew us away with his hospitality. It was like greeting a long lost friend. We ended up staying two nights and would highly recommend this place to other travellers as THE... More

Our stayed at Desert view was marked by very helpful service from the owner and the novelty of sleeping underground. The accomodation was clean and neat with all we needed for a few nights. The pool was still quite cool but would be great come the middle of summer. More

We stayed here in Dec '11 for two nights on our way to Uluru and then again for another two nights on our return journey. The apartments are large, cool, clean and provide the underground living experience that Coober Pedy is famous for. The pool was a welcome relief in the 44+ degree heat, and there is a BBQ area...

We stayed here in Aug 2010 and absolutely loved it! The new owners were so lovely and helpful with lots of local knowledge. Room was of an older vintage but spotlessly clean and not out of character with the whole experience of living underground. If you are thinking of staying underground then this is your place. Planning our return trip... More

Stayed here with our party of 3 families (one unit/family) - travelling through to Uluru for Christmas - loved the place so much we booked to return on our way back south and spent New Year's Eve there. Apartments are dug into the hill - they are really spacious and clean and quiet- good beds and great space....we loved them.... More

We stayed at Desert View late September 2011, two families from Dalby Qld. A welcome interlude from a camper trailer holiday/trek. Tony, Linda and little Lilly warm and inviting couldn't do enough to ensure our comfort, relaxed humorous manner suited all of us. We thoroughly enjoyed sharing stories. Tony's recommendation for Pizza was delish, and Linda's suggestion of outlet to... More

Stayed at Desert View in a 2 bedroom apartment which was extremely clean with lovely soft fluffy towels and a comfortable bed at a reasonable price. Tony and Linda couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Tony's recommendation of Johns Pizza Bar was spot on. Apartment had everything we needed. Will stay there again. More

Desert View is a clean and comfortable stay, a short stroll away from the main street - hosts will go out of their way to make sure everything is to your satisfaction, including airport drop-off. Good value for the budget conscious. More

Rented a very reasonably priced two bedroom self contained underground apartment as a break from the caravan on a three month family touring holiday. Very spacious and excellent value. The owners, Tony and Linda were very friendly and provided excellent advice as to things to do and places to shop (for opals of course) in the area. Highly recommended, a... More

Stayed here in the height of summer with 45 deg C plus temperatures and while the dugouts are fairly constant in temperature they were very much on the warm side!! Portable fan supplied for the loungeroom but the ceiling fans in the bedrooms were unbelievably noisy and sleep was hopeless until I finally turned them off and went and got... More
