The house location has been carved into the hills, and has spectacular, pristine views of the Barrengarry Escarpment. You are an easy 5 minute drive to Kangaroo Valley, or 25 minutes to the Southern Highlands, yet behind the security gates, facing the pool and the view, you will be a world away from everything!
Why choose Black Star?
Wow factor. Awe. Style. Comfort. Luxury. Farm animals to pet. A beautiful pool. Stunning views etc etc. Black Star has it all. If you really want to get away from it all, spoil yourself, or celebrate a special occasion or family gathering, then this is the property for you!
How is the property laid out?
The ground floor incorporates a beautiful, open plan kitchen, pantry, dining and living room (all with amazing views), the master en-suite, king bedroom, a shared bathroom, a queen + single bedroom, and a third queen bedroom. The master bedroom can be opened up to the deck and the views, and has a free standing bath right there - to take it all in!
The upstairs level has a mezzanine style bedroom with a double bed. This bedroom is an open, loft style bedroom, above the master bedroom - FYI.
The ground floor spaces flow out onto a massive sun deck, or a covered side deck, or the swimming pool - making Black Star perfect for indoor - outdoor entertaining!
WiFi, Internet, Netflix, or Pay TV - will I have it?
Complimentary WiFi is available and a password will be provided in your pre-arrival email. Please note that neither The Holidays Collection nor the owner can guarantee 100% that WiFi will work, and no compensation will be payable if problematic. If Wi-Fi is important, please therefore always have a back up plan.
What about outdoors?
Black Star is set on 5 acres and as it is a rural property, always take care with wildlife or other dangers, please. Most of the property is covered with mowed lawn areas, and there is also an enclosure for goats and alpacas. Guests are welcome to feed them during a stay.
The massive north facing deck, leading directly to the resort style pool is a key feature of Black Star, as per the photos. Black Star is perfect for indoor / outdoor living and relaxing while the kids swim in the pool or play on the lawns.
Stay warm or keeping cool?
Cooling options include opening up the full width folding glass doors across the entire width of the house to catch the breeze, utilising the numerous ceiling fans, or turning on the airconditioners (one in the kitchen / living area) and one in the mezzanine bedroom area which causes cool air to also tumble down to the master bedroom. Heating options include a wall mounted electric heater in the living room (for quick heat), and a Cheminees Philippe glass box log fire that is the centrepiece of the dining and living area.
What about sheets, towels and other supplies?
Black Star supplies high quality linen and bath towels.

Black Star was the perfect property for our friends getaway. Stunning design, great amenities, spacious, lovely location. It was relaxing but fun, peaceful but entertaining. We had everything we needed and more. Loved the alpacas, and seeing kangaroos on the property. Had fun in the pool, enjoyed the bathtub. We had a wonderful time.

Black Star Kangaroo Valley is a unique and truly beautiful property. The view of the home is spectacular as you pull through the large black gates. The fire is a huge centre point, making for a beautiful winter escape. The pool was divine, we were not able to use it though as it was a bit chilly. The only thing that needs some attention (or at least awareness when booking) is the doors, or lack of doors. One of the four listed rooms is actually just a loft, looking over the master room. Only really suited to children, but then not children too young as there are steep stairs accessing this room. Also this loft has no door at all and also in addition to being above the master bedroom also hovers near by the main living space so don't expect the people sleeping in loft room to be asleep before the rest of the house as all the noise travels straight up. The main bedroom only has a glass door which shuts with much difficulty, and the door on one of the other bedrooms doesn't shut at all. In all, there is only one bedroom that is quiet, and with a closing door. Aside from the door/noise situation the home was lovely, a true slice of paradise!

Reviewer Comments:
View from the back of the house is gorgeous. Plenty of room the the kids to run around and explore. They particularly enjoyed feeding the alpacas on-site. The trampoline and firepit was also a nice touch. Newly built swimming pool looked inviting but not heated so was too cold to use. Interior was spacious and well furnished. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. However, we did find a lot of ?pet dander rolling around everywhere, also on the furniture. The black flooring didn't look like it hadn't been mopped for ages as our white socks were black after walking on it. Cobwebs were common thoughout the house. Dishwasher didn't clean the dishes properly despite reruns on heavy cycle. There's very little soundproofing of the house and each room was divided by sliding doors which provided no soundproofing or much privacy.

situated on barrengarry mountain in kangaroo valley, our designer barn, @blackstarcountryescape is proving impossible to leave. featuring the most luscious interiors and state-of-the-art furnishings, ‘black star’ is truly a unique and luxurious escape. grand windows and doors provide uninterrupted views of the mountains, mist and sky. ‘black star’ is an oversized barn that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen or experienced. it is a feast for the senses. the locals could not have been more welcoming and are so thankful for all the visitors coming through their little villages following an incredibly tough (almost) year starting with fires ravaging their lives, followed by travel bans. now is the time to escape and help where we can!
