Desert Cave is a casino-based hotel. It is on the main strip but walking in the heat is challenging. The staff were efficient and the hotel quiet. When we were there dining options were limited with no lunch or dinner. John's Pizza Bar and Restaurant are close and it's an interesting cog in this small town. And given the size and facilities in the town, Desert Cave is a good place to stay.

It was a good experience to sleep in the underground room, dark and quiet. The restaurant served us a nice breakfast. We also enjoyed the underground display explaining the area, the history and of course opals.

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was spacious, very clean with good quality mattress, pillows and manchester. Bathroom was "retro" but very clean with ample complimentary bath products. Took a little while for hot water to come through, but when it did it, it had good water pressure and was easily adjustable to preferred temperature. Car parking immediately adjacent to room. Will book again.
