The best!!
Loved the look and the location. I stayed on the sofa bed, so waking up to that view was a highlight each morning. It was also pretty comfy. My mates said both beds were also comfortable, I enjoy walking so I walked to Scenic World, little coffee shop near by, I had every thing I needed and would stay again.

What a breathtaking view from the deck over the escarpment ! We saw the view in all weathers and it was stunning whether raining, sunny or misty. Amazing stars at night too. Very comfortable house with everything you need walking distance to 3 Sisters lookout. Would love to come back.

Sterling Manor was absolutely the most beautiful place we have stayed in for a while. The house was sparkling clean, well maintained, thoughtfully stocked and had the best views you could ever ask for of the mountains! The sunrise and sunsets were stunning, and even when the skies were overcast it was gorgeous to see the mist rising up and hiding the mountains. We would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone (and already have to quite a few friends!), thank you Dalia for allowing us to spend our Christmas break in your beautiful home!

Wonderful views
We had a lovely stay at this property, with magnificent escarpment views. The online photographs are an accurate representation of the views and sitting on the deck and watching the changing light on the surrounding escarpments was wonderful.

A beautiful retreat home
We were unfortunate to have the weather rain down on us whilst during our stay there, but Dalia and Joss's home was beautiful and lovely to stay at. The bathroom was a little small, and you may bump into some neighbours since the garden is a shared area, however, the place was very charming and the views are incredible! The place was very close to the Three Sister's Lookout, and is conveniently close to the shops, bars and cafes in Katoomba. I would definitely come back again for a relaxing retreat!

A fabulous escape!
A perfect retreat with breathtaking views of the escarpment, this was just what we needed! A cosy, well-equipped house, conveniently located close to shops and local attractions and trails. The garden is beautifully kept - the massage in the gazebo was just the cherry on top! Dalia is a lovely host, and is very available for all that you may need. A really pleasant stay, would love to be back again!

About the host

Host profile image
My happy place has always been in nature and the Blue Mountains offer the perfect environment to retreat to. Having lived in busy Bondi and Maroubra Beach for many years, purchasing this amazing property in Katoomba for a more relaxed lifestyle in April 2017 was the perfect tree change. I now delight in sharing this beautiful property with my guests and enjoy welcoming people from around the world.

Why they chose this property

I've enjoyed coming up to the blue mountains on weekends to bushwalk for many years and have rented houses. When this iconic house with it's spectacular view, beautiful gardens and location came onto the market I knew I had to buy it. The energy on this property is quite amazing. It will leave uplifted and wanting to return for more.

What makes this property unique

* The best escarpment view in the valley.
* 300 metres to the famous 3 Sisters and 5 major bushwalks.
* Iconic home previous owned by the famous Australian Astrologer Author and pianist Richard Sterling who created the most amazing astrological signposted garden in Australia. Guests are able to wander through this unique terraced garden and discover their star sign within the "other worldly gardens".
* Guests often mention the ambience and peaceful energy on the property.
* Dramatic colourful sunrise.
* This perfect location helps time poor explorers see more in one day.
