About this property
Harmonica - unique modern chic apartment
Harmonica is a unique, large (40 sqm) modern mountain-chic studio apartment. We have designed Harmonica with comfort and relaxation in mind, with a modern mountain feel in mind. As you unwind in this luxury space, only a stone`s throw from a magical lookout with spectacular sunset views, you will discover a new little slice of heaven.
Situated on the spectacular scenic escarpment of Cliff Drive. Less than 100 metres to the stunning Cahill`s Lookout and its views overlooking the Megalong Valley and Narrow Neck. Surrounded by numerous bush walking tracks, an abundance of fresh mountain air and tranquillity. Only an 8-minute drive from Katoomba railway station and numerous attractions of the world-famous Blue Mountains. Leura, Wentworth Falls, Medlow Bath and Blackheath are all within a short drive. Enjoy all that this UNESCO-listed area has to offer, including boutique shopping, gourmet dining, beautiful gardens, artisan markets, heritage-listed buildings and a calendar of events.
A luxurious queen-sized timber bed with an assortment of duck down and European-sized pillows overlooking the front garden. Fully equipped brand new kitchen with concrete bench tops, a feature copper splashback, popular quality branded appliances and an induction cooktop. Ideal for simple meals or complex gourmet feasts. LG Smart TV with Netflix and all on-demand TV channels. An assortment of books, magazines & board games to entertain on those rainy days or lazy days. Complimentary WIFI. Reverse cycle air conditioning to keep you warm and toasty during winter or cool in Summer. Outdoor table setting to bask in the westerly sun overlooking the front garden and escarpment.
My wife and I live upstairs with our 5 yrs old son. We have sound insulation between the floors, and the apartment is above our bedrooms; however, you are still likely to hear everyday family sounds.
There is no smoking in the apartment or anywhere in the garden. As we live upstairs and don`t want the smoke smell in or around the house. If you are a smoker, you may want to consider staying somewhere else.
We have a dog, but it is separated from your access by a fence. If you do meet them, they are super-friendly, well-socialised fox terriers.
You have access to the apartment from your own off-street parking space through the back garden. You are free to enjoy the front garden, which leads over to the lookout. The only restricted area is through the black gate next to the apartment front door (about a 5th of the garden), where our dog can go outside.
A car is recommended to get to the apartment and around. We are located on the edge of the escarpment 4kms from Katoomba. There is a local bus from 700 metres away.

About the host
Hosted by Michael
We spend 10 years living in Bondi and work in Sydney because The Blue Mountains were just a bit far to commute from every day. But we finally made to move to permanently live in the Blue Mountains.
Since I grew up in countryside England I need the escape from the city.
We saw Piccolo in 2010 and both Holly and I knew we needed to buy it to rest and relax from the pressure of city live.
I'm sure there are many of you that feel the same and we hope you enjoy our little mountain getaway.

Why they chose this property
There were two reasons we bought this property.
1. That we could live upstairs and there was the space to develop holiday rentals downstairs.
2. The view....

What makes this property unique
We are away from town, but close to everything you would need to visit during your stay.
There are no streetlights, so the night sky is amazing.
There is extraordinarily little traffic and the silence is bliss.
That view, the lookout is 20metre from the house and is beautiful at any times, but the sunsets are spectacular.
