Excellent location for short holiday in the Blue Mountains
An excellent property comfortably furnished with stunning views of the Blue mountains Jamieson Valley.
Located close to many eating options in and around Katoomba.
The location is perfect to explore the actives in all of the Blue Mountains. The space is perfect for one or a couple. The cooking facility is quirky but perfect for breakfast and dinner, especially if you use the BBQ and patio. I love the convenience and the host has thought of everything. a few hundred meters to the Three Sisters lookout, close to shopping and access to roads, so getting there from Sydney is a breeze and short drive to wonder hiking in all parts of the Blue Mountains.
The space was as advertised. Perfectly located to take in the various views and activities. Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the views of either the surrounding area or the unit as it was raining/cloudy the entire time we were there. Joss was a great host.
The view is absolutely stunning and the patio area is fantastic! We were only there for 3 nights, and one day was all fogged in but even that day the patio was so restful. The garden is beautiful although we didn't really have time to really enjoy it. It's a great location for hiking and seeing the views. As someone else mentioned, the inside studio layout is a bit odd with respect to kitchenette and bathroom locations, but overall the studio was private, comfortable and worked well for us.
Lots of info and little extras provided. Joss was great at responding to questions and even came out at night to fix the Wi-Fi when it went down. She is an excellent hostess.
This property is amazing, in a great location with views you wish for in a mountain stay. The Garden of the stars studio was bigger and more modern than I thought, the photos don't do it justice. If you're after a stay with a view then this is it! The garden is a delight to wander through, with benches and a lovely Gazebo to sit and linger, soaking up the birdsong and the views. Joss very kindly organised a parking permit for the car and explained everything we needed during our stay to make it one we will cherish. There's a BBQ, and everything you need plus all the sweet little touches in every room, we were there in chilly June but it was warm and cosy inside. We loved it, had a great time, and will come back for a summer stay. We highly recommend the Garden of the stars studio.
As others have said, the location of this property is amazing. Was such a treat to be so close to what the Blue Mountains have to offer. Close to amazing hikes, views, scenic world, even night time walks near by. Of course, the views in the backyard are just breath taking. Must admit, being inside was a stark contrast. A bit odd in the set up (kitchen in the bedroom and bathroom at the other end past the sitting area??!!) but the bed was super comfortable and space in the closet was a plus (as were the robes provided). Many nice touches. Responses to inquiries were super fast and much appreciated. Had a bit of a challenge with the parking, as the free parking is a short walk, and a bit tricky on school days, but it worked once we figured it out with Joss and Dahlia's help. Peaceful walks through the garden and enjoying the canyon views helped make any very minor bits quickly fade away!
I wanted a place to hike the various trails and this was perfect! Had everything I needed and so close to great walks, I only needed a single and cooking was fun, but challenging!
Host is warm and welcoming. Property a treasure. All the comforts I needed, views from my deck and close to all the BlueMountain attractions I went for. A wonderful stay.
This was as advertised. The location is great, five minutes from the three sisters. Around 25-30 minute walk from the town, it offers everything you need for your blue mountains stay.
Absolutely adored my stay at this property. Loved learning the history of the house and garden, and the view is truly to die for!
It's a super convenient location as well, only a 30 min walk or a 2 min walk and 5 min bus ride into Katoomba and loved being able to walk down to the Three Sisters every evening.
Would highly recommend!
Easy to access, everything we needed inside. Would have liked a hot plate to hear food, but otherwise great. Comfortable king bed. Beautiful gardens easy walking distance to Three Sisters.
Everything was fantastic. Very easy check in and the terrace and gardens were wonderful. Instead of going out for dinner, we got take out every night to eat outside on the terrace. Will stay here again.
