Incredible location and views!

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!

I can’t stress how amazing our stay was at Garden of the stars studio apartment. Dalia and Joss were both exceptionally accommodating and great with communication. They really did make our stay. We stayed in the grounds of the apartment the whole time as there was no need to leave. We sat and had breakfast taking in the views and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks you again Joss and Dalia for being the best hosts and providing the best experiance, we will definitely be back! Thank you. Misha xx
