Friendly greeting and there is covered parking. Very noisy in windy conditions and emergency preparations were woeful when power was cut.

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.

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

The obvious special quality was being underground. 23degrees all day and night. Well finished with some art works. And a helpful generous manager.

Reasonable if not for noisy guests
The place is clean, decent bathroom. Bed was a little tired but ok. Parking ok right outside the door and not a bad view from the common patio area out front. The down side is that the common hallway to rooms is like an echo chamber. Unfortunately we were there at the same time as another group of noisy, ignorant and thoughtless families which made for a sleepless night.

Unique experience - the room was a great size and the amenities were good. It was a little too warm at night for us and would have been good to have had the option of air con in our room.

Erin and husband are fantastic managers of this property. She took great care of us, even baking us banana bread and shuttling us back and forth from the airport. The unit was very clean and uniquely underground. I highly recommend the Underground Motel!!

Really pleasant stay
Really nice facility and cool that you live inside of a hill. The owner is super friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more comfortable 😄 Only small downside is that the wifi sometimes drops. But generally there's a good connection.
