Lake Eyre Basin, Australia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Stayed in a underground room was better than expected large room comfortable bed. I would happily stay there again highly recommend. "

"A couple of nights to relax after long driving days. The room wasn't quite ready as they'd been so busy but reception staff were excellent in getting it sorted quickly and offered a complimentary drink in the bar while I waited. The room was spacious and well appointed (could do with a couple of comfy chairs - only one in there so someone would have to sit on the bed). Bed was firm and suited my taste. Bathroom a little worn but clean and had ample toiletries, towels, etc. - lovely hot shower! Parking was at a premium if you needed it to be near your room but there was plenty not too far away. The bistro gives a good discount to hotel guests and makes great food. The young French lady who served at the bar, took food orders and delivered them was brilliant and I'm sorry I didn't get her name but I did tell the manager."

"Close to the centre of town but not too close."

"Great food at the Woolshed restaurant, Alicia's service was next level. Superior cabins were fabulous, comfie beds, new and clean. Great walks around. Loved our stay"

"Arrived after reception closed at 5pm. Directions for room key location was sent to phone at 5:15pm prior to our arrival & was easy to understand. Room was clean, tidy & bed was comfortable. "

"Small in size. Kitchen and bathroom areas very cramped for a week long stay. Photos missleading."

"We have stayed twice now. Always extremely clean and we love the guest facilities. The guest kitchen is very handy, and as a family we love the sheltered outdoor space with a cubby house and bbq. Our go to place when staying in Coober Pedy now. "

"It is a country hotel motel, so don't expect city upmarket hotel, hence enjoy the old style country feel and heritage that comes and relax have fun, we did."

"Extended my stay by 1 night due to high season availability, the staff were very good - much appreciated."
