Opal Inn Hotel Coober Pedy Info

Experience the rugged Australian outback from the comfort of this well-run family resort, offering well-appointed accommodation to suit all budgets.

The Opal Inn Hotel in the heart of Coober Pedy, provides a choice of motel-style rooms, on-site facilities for caravans, and a lovely camping area with good communal amenities. Guests can also take advantage of the lounge bar and restaurant, serving cold beer and delicious food throughout the day, until late. Coober Pedy is world renowned as the center of Australia�s opal industry, and even reputed to be the opal capital of the world. The first of these beautiful gems was discovered in 1915, and since then this small outback town has been supplying the world with the majority of gem quality opal. Now as much of a tourist attraction, as it is a mining town, Coober Pedy is famed for its unique underground living, with much of the city carved beneath the sandstone hills, in order to escape the brutal desert sun.
