I just had a wonderful and comfortable stay here at Sundown. The people, especially Nikita at the office were very friendly & helpful. The rooms were very neat and clean. My two bedroom vila was fully furnished and cozy with many amenities including pool & club. I will definitely stay here again.

‼️ Absolutely awful stay would give 0⭐ if I could 😡 We stayed at Sundown Villas in Canberra for 2 nights for a big family occasion more than 120 of us travelled from Sydney and Melbourne and almost everyone was disappointed. The unit was dirty, full of ants and flies that were biting us 🐜🪰 and the money we paid was definitely not worth it. Hygiene was terrible. We booked two rooms for two fa...

I’m not exaggerating: • Snakes around the property • Li...

⸻ ⭐ Not even one star! This place was absolutely terrible — I do not recommend it to anyone. The rooms were very small and extremely dirty.

To make things worse, we even found a blue-tongue lizard and a long o...

Which there wasn't. Also never seen a rainbow before? HIGHLY suggest you stay here t...
