Underground rooms in an opal-mining town

Coober Pedy's landmark opal-town hotel, with rooms dug into the sandstone where there is no light, no sound and a year-round cool the outback summer can't touch. Above ground it is now a working local — bistro, bar and gaming lounge — 846 km up the Stuart Highway from Adelaide. The catch: Also a working outback pub (bar + gaming lounge), and not every room is underground — ask for a dugout room.

## What's the catch?

Little natural light and patchy phone signal underground.
