The Comfort Inn Coober Pedy Experience is conveniently located close to the central business district. This Coober Pedy hotel is minutes from the Old Timers Mine museum and Underground Pottery, a popular tourist shop. Be sure to visit the nearby Umoona Opal Mine and Museum, Coober Pedy's premier underground tourist attraction.
No visit to Coober Pedy would be complete without playing a round on the Coober Pedy Golf Course. This completely grass-free golf course is unique; golfers take a small piece of turf around to use for teeing off.
Located in the Australian outback, Coober Pedy is hours from the nearest settlement. The town is known as the Opal Capital of the World because some of the most precious opals are mined there.
This is also a unique town due to the high temperatures; about 80 percent of the population now lives underground. Both the movie Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and the second season of the television show the Amazing Race, have featured Coober Pedy.
