Welcome to Aroha Studio — a name that means “love” in Māori — the perfect romantic retreat for two. Nestled in a peaceful street in Katoomba, this charming studio sits privately at the rear of the property, surrounded by a beautiful garden frequented by colourful cockatoos and parrots. Just 900 metres from the iconic Three Sisters at Echo Point, this serene hideaway offers easy access to stunning bushwalks, lookouts, and the vibrant cafés and restaurants of Katoomba.
Recently renovated, Aroha Studio is fully self-contained and designed for comfort. The light-filled space includes a cozy living area, a queen bed with quality linen, efficient heating and air conditioning, a modern bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchenette with all the essentials for preparing meals. Thoughtfully decorated in a warm, mountains-inspired style, it’s an inviting retreat for couples seeking a relaxing and private escape.
Guests have private access to the studio via the driveway and carport, with easy entry down a private set of timber stairs. While the studio shares the property with the main house, your space is entirely separate and quiet, offering lovely garden views and all the comforts needed for a peaceful Blue Mountains getaway.
