    Good stay, we were there for 1 day. This hotel was set in a central area close to underground cafe, shop and mining, an underground tunnel, a museum, a bar and restaurants. It also was in the center of town.

    Well, no room service.

    Location right by an underground tunnel, Main Street and local attractions, and quite a hike up the stairs. Classic-style building, decent sized and unique rooms with aircon and a good size bathroom, for instance. Welcoming staff, wake up service and ironing free of charge.

    The restaurant's modern Aussie cuisine was a delight! It felt like a culinary expedition, where each dish was a treasure discovery. Dining there was akin to uncovering brilliantly colorful opals—unexpected and sparkling with flavor. It's hard to believe that something so exquisite could be served in such a unique, underground setting!

    Minor parking confusion.

    The sstaff at reception were friendly and help fuland the barman was helpfulwith local information and advice. The novelty of the underground room was the main reason for staing there and it lived up to expectation. The hotel was close to shops. We booked the Desert Cave Tour and it was a highlight of our entire NT and Central Australia trip with a great guide who had excellent local knowledge.
