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.

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.

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.

We arrived late and everything was laid out for us in terms of instructions. Small room that had a shared communal kitchen was little sad but still worked for us. More asking people to be considerate of their fellow guests didn’t make any difference and the bedroom backed on to carport which was also quite loud. Enjoyed the underground experience which is what we were after, great views and awesome concept
