I think maybe having a row of large pots with pencil pines will make an eco friendly wind barrier where people sit outside in winter to enjoy outdoor area during the day. Or bunching up shrubs as a border around the seating can have uplighting as well to be nice to look at at night

We’ve never used a YHA before and thought at 79 we were probably way too old to start. However we were completely wrong it was perfect for our needs, quiet despite having 2 large groups of school children and the staff apologetic for the noise which we only heard when they were arriving at a reasonable time Right next door to an Aldi and on the main street of Katoomba it could not be more convenient. Our ensuite double was clean and comfortable and fully equipped.
