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.

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...
The outdoor pool is open October–April; spring (Sept–Nov) brings wildflowers to the gardens for scenic walks.
