Desert Cave Hotel

Imagine a place with absolutely no sound or light. There's no heat and no humidity. It feels perfectly calm, as if time doesn't exist and the space around you is directionless. You're tucked up in a comfortable bed and you drift off to sleep, with nothing at all to disturb you until your mind and body decide they're ready to reawaken.

Images of the moon's mysterious craggy ranges, rocky deserts and pockmarked surface have captivated people for decades. Although most of us will never make it to the moon ourselves, there is one place you can visit that is almost as unearthly - Coober Pedy in South Australia's Outback.

Flying into the remote town, you'll see thousands of pyramid-like mounds of white rock spotted over the orange sand, interspersed with deep holes tunnelling far into the ground.This bizarre landscape has been formed by men, women and families from 45 different nationalities over 100 years, all drilling with the hope of finding opal.
