The motel was underground since it had been part of an opal mine. It was a great experience to stay underground. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast seemed expensive for coffee, juice, toast and cereal at $20 a person.

Very interesting experience, you really are staying underground! Clean room, friendly staff, great location. The selection of DVD's available to guests was appreciated. We had a faulty fridge and DVD player and they were both promptly replaced with new items. Happy with this service. NOTE - if you are relying on your phone while here there is almost NO phone signal in the rooms. The wifi is great however you will struggle to make or receive any phone calls. If you want a cool car in the morning park on the side of the car park closer to the hotel not the road as it's in the shade in the morning. The fried chicken and hot chips from the IGA are absolutely amazing as well :)

The greatest feature was the manager! Melissa is your star! The absent owner needs to return and do some maintenance, because it needs it. Meanwhile Melissa is doing the work of 3 people. The property has great potential and needs to support a manager who takes on the responsibilities of an owner.
