Sleeps 8, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. No pets allowed.

Kangaroo Valley, NSW 2577 Australia

Black Star is a boutique luxury accommodation in Kangaroo Valley. Pass through the gates onto the 5 acre residence, and the drama continues, as woodland peels away to reveal the house itself; an instantly grand, yet contemporary take on a traditional black barn, framed against arguably the most iconic view of Barrengarry Mountain the area has to offer.

Step inside, and the theatre continues; thanks to Black Stars fabulously high ceilings that encase an entire wall of 6 metre-high picture frame windows that presents the sweeping valley below and mountains beyond as a single, breathtaking image.

For a dwelling this bold and rugged against the skyline, you will be amazed at the intimacy and softness of its interior design: from oxblood leather couch to its oversize blue velvet sofafrom cool concrete coffee table to the luxurious marble kitchen bench Black Star presents as a master class in contrasting texture and mercurial elegance.

At the centre of the main living room, a Chevalier glass box log fire anchors the room and creates a natural focal point, as well as a stunning visual on long, cool nights.

Throughout the kitchen, you will notice that no expense has been spared, including a top of the range SMEG three-oven cooker. The same lack of compromise extends to the dwellings two large and luxurious, tiled bathrooms, complete with under floor heating.

In the master bedroom, as well as your own, personal log fire, you are spoilt further by a stand-alone bath, perfectly positioned to let you relax as you take in the stunning views across the front lawn to the mountains beyond. In addition, another 2 generous and similarly opulent bedrooms, as well as an extra mezzanine bedroom for additional guests, guarantee that a full house at Black Star, never feels like a crowded house.

Black Star has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the beauty of the valleys contrasting seasons: from the snug warmth of its iconic central fireplace on a cold winter night, to its ingenious bi-fold doors that open up the interior space to the wraparound exterior deck, allowing a perfect spot to both bbq and dine outside on a balmy, summer night, whilst taking in the breathtaking spectacle of the mountain beyond.

A recently added swimming pool is the perfect addition to this stunning home.

Words genuinely do not do this unique property justice. Linger over the attached images and youll certainly get a sense of why Black Star is such a sought-after destination, but to fully appreciate its beauty, we would strongly suggest you book early, whilst room is still available.

We can arrange a private Chef for your stay or even a massage, please speak with us when booking.

    George H from Lane Cove North, NSW recommends this vacation rental

    Stunning location with magnificent views and rather spectacular architecture, with a clear "wow" feeling. It suited our small group of 6 adults but a larger group may find it less desirable. The reason for this comment is that the one bedroom upstairs overlooks the master bedroom. This impacts the privacy of those in the master bedroom. We were fortunate in that we did not need to occupy the upstairs room.

    As I like to cook and enjoy good wines, I would add a constructive comment, suggesting that more wine glasses be made available, and possibly a decanter.

    We also felt that the staff of the company that manages this property are outstanding professionals, with a first class customer service approach.

    A truly wonderful place and we plan to return one day.

    Jackie F recommends this vacation rental

    In the past 25 years (apart from the last two!) I have travelled extensively for both work and pleasure and often combined the two. So, when I say Black Star Kangaroo Valley is something special I have lots to compare it too. From the moment you arrive at the large black gates there is a sense of something very special awaits - you are not disappointed. This is a magical place. The well appointed and visually stunning premise is held rich and deep in the Valley. The Scenery is spectacular and there is something deeply moving within the vista of waterfalls, luscious green grass, the great Australian bush and the mist on the mountains. Myself along with my 3 friends were in awe. We literally sat outside speechless which if you knew the four of us was a miracle in itself! Inside is luxury meets creative genius and the result is one of pure opulence without a sense of far too much, tried too much. Black Star is the right amount of 'too much' - I never thought it possible to be loved by a place however here I was. Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. I fell in love and I cant wait to go back.

    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.

    a guest from NARRABUNDAH, ACT recommends this vacation rental

    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!

    Jean L from BEECROFT, New South Wales recommends this vacation rental

    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.

Along with the breathtakingly beautiful location, the home’s amazing features from the bathtub in the main bedroom suite to the new installed pool and stunning art collection really set this property apart.

    I took my partner here for a birthday getaway. It was absolutely stunning. When you enter the property the view blows you away. The kitchen was a delight to cook in and we had everything that we needed. We were happy that there was aircon as it gets hot in the valley. The property was located not far from town and from some fabulous swimming spots. I'd stay here again.

    Matt G recommends this vacation rental

    Blackstar was amazing. Perfect for a family weekend away. Love the front lawn, perfect length for a Sand Wedge and loved the fully stocked timber store.

    A couple of things to plan for: bring extra dishwashing tablets, bin liners and paper towel. The starter pack didn't stretch to a long weekend of food, wine and festivities.

    The other thing, we didn't realise was that one of the bedrooms (the mezzanine) is open to the master bedroom. Not an issue to us as my 80 year old parents were probably not going to get up to any mischief anyway, but worth noting when you are working out who has what rooms.

    When we go back with friends, we'll probably consider it a 3 bedroom place and leave the kids at home.

    Highly recommend this place. Enjoyed it and had loads of fun.

    Emma P recommends this vacation rental

    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!

    • Manager Responded on 8/3/2020

      Black Star is rather special! So pleased you enjoyed your stay Emma do come back and see us again.
