You are paying for the incredible balcony and view here, It is fantastic. The property itself is average. The beds are comfortable and the property is well heated. The kitchen is very basic and the front door comes into the sunroom bedroom.

Extraordinary
This apartment (cloud nine) is unique. The view is breathtaking. There is only one suggestion: If there was a small roof over the wonderful terrace and grill (like the one in the garden of the stars downstairs) you could sit outside even if it's misty or raining, it would be simply perfect.

Clean simple accommodation with great view
We had five of us stay there. One on the sofa bed, but it was comfortable. View was great and we had a nice dinner on the balcony. Small barbecue for five people, but we made it work easy enough. Kitchen was fit out well enough. The unit was well kept and clean. Would definitely stay there again.

My Wife's dream fulfilled
This amazing property overlooks the beautiful Blue Mountains and a sort walk to Echo Point. We planned a 5 star holiday and this was a highlight, a great place to surprise someone. My wife's reaction was amazing as she always wanted to see the blue Mountains and she woke looking at them. Great and historic garden was an amazing surprise. The hosts not only shared these wonderful views but went out of their way to ensure a stress free and wonderful stay. Highly recommended for those that want to relax and recharge, be surrounded by nature and share some amazing views, both in the garden and across the valley. One of the most perfect places we have ever stayed

Wonderful Views!
Had a very relaxing stay with family enjoying the wonderful views! Accommodation was very warm and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen, clean and tidy. Great location, close to Three Sisters, Scenic World, and nice restaurants and cafes. The daily afternoon visits from the cockatoos was our highlight of the day as they sat on the balcony to chat. Highly recommend, will be visiting again!

Wonderful home
Such a wonderful host and a gorgeous view. Cloud nine feels like a home, quaint and peaceful. When we arrived we didn’t want to leave. Our host was so lovely and she left a beautiful bottle of wine for my mother’s 70th birthday and a lovely note, she left rose petals on the bed it was a wonderful surprise for her. She will remember this lovely day for a long time. Highly recommend for a relaxing unwinding day amongst the clouds. :)

Everything we could have wanted was available. The apartment was in perfect condition, clean, tidy and well presented. The view from the balcony was magnificent.

A True Delight!
This property had amazing views and was the perfect location for my (now) husband to get ready at for our special elopement in the Blue Mountains. What was greater than the view was the delightful communication with Dalia and Joss from the first enquiry right through to the stay! Such beautiful people, accommodating and so friendly. Thank you so much for making Lewis's stay memorable and easy.

An uninterrupted view 💕
I have stayed at many properties and hotels in the mountains but the view from Cloud 9 is the best yet with sweeping uninterrupted views from the large outside balcony. Very serene and quiet with daily visits from cockatoos and currawongs. Another positive is that the central heating works well as it gets cold at night. The property is a a very short stroll to Echo Point lookout and Lillianfels and about a 25 minute walk to Katoomba. We had an amazing dinner in Lawson ( 15 drive) at Mesa Barrio. The best Margarita I’ve had in a long time. We also enjoyed lunch at the dumpling tea house at Lillianfels.
