About the host
Hosted by Joss O’Connell
My happy place has always been in nature and I found, that the Blue Mountains offered me the perfect space to retreat and be creative. Having worked in the corporate world for many years, I was ready for a tree change, and so in April 2017, I became the new custodian of this magnificent property. Previously owned by the late Richard Sterling, renowned Astrologer, Author and TV Personality with his own Astrology programme in the 1980's.
With my keen interest in Astrology and Numerology I guess you could say that the house found me. This highly sought after property offered me the grand view that I yearned for, a huge garden in which to potter, trim and weed which is a constant labour of love as you will see.... and the opportunity to meet and greet people which I love.

This highly sought after property offered me the grand view that I yearned for, a huge garden in which to potter, trim and weed which is a constant labour of love as you will see.... and the opportunity to meet and greet people which I love.
Why they chose this property
I was looking for a tree change. The opportunity to spend more time in nature and distance myself from the frenetic city lifestyle. This unique property had all the features that were important to me especially the amazing view.
What makes this property unique
Guests will appreciate the peaceful space with a whole 3 room studio to relax in instead of a Hotel room.
Uninterrupted mezmerizing views - rare to experience anywhere
with health giving clean air.
We are fortunate to experience the palpable healing energy on this property.
I suggest guests book a minimum of 2-3 days to benefit from the healing energy which dissolves stress and tension in the body and rejuvenates body/mind by relaxing.
Tranquil Astrology gardens
A bird sanctuary with 8 different variety of birds that visit at different times of the day.
