Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa (#279). The unit was very dirty. Mouldy curtains in one of the rooms, very dusty around the skirting and carpet. It hasn't had a proper clean in a very long time. We have stayed at Sundown many times previously and it's never been this bad. Even though the villas are looking a bit tired and in need of refresh, they are comfortable, spacious and location is quiet and close to shops.

First time staying here & NEVER, EVER again. Photos of the 2 brm villa on website are extremely deceiving. Is very old, dirty & smelly. Small old air con made the whole villa smell like a fish market. Had to sleep in our track pants & jumpers as the one small putrid smelling old aircon in living area did not heat sufficiently. Living area did not have a sofa as shown in pics on website, only a round dining table with 4 chairs & the tv on wall above. Not a single powerpoint in either of the bedrooms, no bedside tables or bedside light. Bathroom is ancient & awful, dried up white paint all over the towel rail, ventilation via a gap with fly screen at top of bathroom window which lets all the freezing winter cold air in, bathroom door didn't shut properly. A previous guests used towels on the floor of one of the wardrobes. Everything just generally unclean. I could go on but I think you get the idea. Thought it might be a risk staying here & unfortunately I was right!

Good but some disappointments

While the room and service were fine, we had problems with the air-conditioner. It was loud, and switched from warm to cold without being programmed to do - problematic in the middle of a Canberra winter. Also, on our departure morning we found water at the base of the fridge, and found it had never been turned on at the power point and had defrosted; this was a problem for us, as we had stored meat and milk in the fridge section, which had gone off and had to be thrown out.

We were disappointed. The pictures indicated a nice place, but it was not. Guests are required to clean glasses/cups that were used.....they were really, really unclean. Towels used by previous guests were left hanging on door hooks. I am not sure that the sheets were changed as they were loose and wrinkled. There were ants in the kitchenette area. Picky? Maybe, but we expect the room to be 'finished'.
