Venus Hill B & B

Convenient, spacious, and clean rooms with cozy beds and couches. Satisfying breakfast with various options. Located slightly outside the town for a safe and tranquil environment, with easy access to the city center.

Yeah it was niceish but average, didn’t come close to expectations.. $250 per night you would expect somewhat high standard. We enjoyed the experience of an underground apartment but majority of accommodation in Coober pedy gives you that experience. Have to admit, the caretaker while the owner was away - not his fault but didn’t know what he was doing. No greeting, no knowledge of tourist stuff in town, was put in different room than expected, breakfast included was 2 apples, 2 bananas, half a loaf of rock hard out of date bread, 2 mini cereal packets (1 out of date) and a million traveller jams delivered on arrival. Aircon was a pedestal fan, had to ask about wifi which was under the verandah at main house up the hill. Our room was next to messy construction site and gear for another room, had to ask for more fruit at least considering we’re there for 2 nights and stuff was expired. He delivered promptly and apologised though. Bathroom had no sanitary bin and half a roll of toilet paper, and roof not fully closed off to the rest of the unit with no ventilation. Beds in second room were covered in rock falling away from roof and through vent so had to move the bed on second night to stop getting woken up by it. No cooking utensils so had to use all our own kitchen camp stuff. Didn’t even want to ask about laundry service at this point. Note behind the door told guests not to “whinge”.. if we asked for things every time they came up we would be walking up and down the hill all day plus the caretaker was hard to locate when needed.

5 out of 5. Very friendly host. Very clean accommodation. If you're not fussed about being above ground in Coober Pedy and being out of town, then I highly recommend Venushil B+B. We had everything we needed for our overnight stop over. My husband said the shower he rated as 90%, which is a high rating from him.
