The Desert Hotel is an unusual form of accommodation but is one of very few places in SA where guests can sleep underground in a hotel room. Many previous guests have even mentioned that staying here has meant the best sleep they have ever had because of the cool climate. Coober Pedy is also famous for opal mining and many shops, bars and opal displays are also located underground in the town.

Thankfully now it has been re-established as a very unique but comfy place to stay &#8211; even with a five-star rating. The inn has been delicately re-stylised with four bedrooms and three adjoining spa bathrooms. However, its most unique and notable feature is the old-school fire engine which sits in the main living room, adding that \u2018firey\u2019 touch.\u00a0 So, bring out the inner fireman in you or just stay somewhere out of the ordinary.
