The Asteriaz facilities are spread over four zones: a Starlight Lobby at lower ground, a main Level 10 deck with around 14 named facilities (Luna Pool, Luna Bay, Moon Bath, Cosmic Kids Pool, Galaxy Venue for pickleball and badminton, Hoop Court and more), the Nova Gym on Level 11, and a Level 43 rooftop with the Moon Deck, Herbs Garden, Starlit Grill and Eclipse Dining. Everything follows a space theme and is shared by 848 units in one tower.
If you are researching asteriaz facilities, the developer’s names can be confusing at first. What is a Moon Bath? Where is the Galaxy Venue? Is the gym on the pool deck or a separate floor? This guide walks through The Asteriaz @ Kebun Teh facilities level by level, explains what each one is for in plain language, and shows how the line-up supports both own-stay living and rental demand. For the wider project story, including layouts, tenure and location, read our complete guide to The Asteriaz @ Kebun Teh. Here we focus only on the facilities, because for a serviced apartment in Johor Bahru they are a large part of what you are paying for and what tenants will compare.
The Asteriaz facilities at a glance
The Asteriaz groups its facilities into four vertical zones, with most of the activity concentrated on the Level 10 deck. The table below summarises the line-up as shown in EXSIM’s facilities plan and on the project fact sheet.
| Level | Facilities | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Lower ground / ground | Starlight Lobby, drop-off, Cosmic Arrival drop-off court, street-level retail | Arrival, deliveries, daily errands |
| Level 10 (main deck) | Luna Pool, Luna Bay, Moon Bath, Cosmic Kids Pool, Galaxy Pavilion, Orbit Fit, Reflex Path, Hoop Court, Galaxy Venue, Cosmic Library, Galactic Playground, Cosmic Playhouse, Moon Lounge, Cosmic Lounge | Families, swimmers, active residents, quiet time |
| Level 11 | Nova Gym | Daily workouts |
| Level 43 (rooftop) | Moon Deck rooftop garden, Herbs Garden, Starlit Grill BBQ terrace, Eclipse Dining | Entertaining, sunset views, gatherings |
The design logic is simple: put the busy, noisy and wet facilities together on one podium-level deck, give the gym its own floor, and keep the rooftop for social dining and views. That separation tends to make a building feel calmer, because a children’s birthday at the playground does not compete with someone reading in the library or grilling on the roof.
Level 10 pools: Luna Pool, Luna Bay, Moon Bath and Cosmic Kids Pool
The Level 10 deck carries four water features, so different age groups can use the pool area at the same time. The Luna Pool is the main pool, Luna Bay and Moon Bath are the softer, lounging-style water zones, and the Cosmic Kids Pool is set aside for children.
Luna Pool and Luna Bay
The Luna Pool is the centrepiece of the deck and the facility most likely to feature in marketing photos and rental listings. Luna Bay sits alongside as a more relaxed water zone. For residents, the benefit is choice: you can swim laps in one area while others lounge or chat in another, rather than everyone crowding into a single rectangle of water.
Moon Bath
The Moon Bath is named as a separate water feature on the deck plan. Treat it as a wellness or soaking-style corner rather than a swimming pool. The developer’s materials do not publish detailed specifications for each pool, so if water depth, heating or exact pool length matters to you, ask for the facilities floor plan before booking.
Cosmic Kids Pool
A dedicated children’s pool is one of the features JB families look for first. Keeping small children in a separate shallow zone makes the main pool more comfortable for adults and gives parents peace of mind. Together with the playground and playhouse nearby, it turns Level 10 into a full family deck.
Sports at The Asteriaz: Galaxy Venue, Hoop Court, Orbit Fit and Nova Gym
The Asteriaz covers racket sports, basketball, outdoor exercise and a full gym, which is broader than many older condominiums in Kebun Teh. The headline sports facility is the Galaxy Venue, a court for pickleball and badminton.
Galaxy Venue (pickleball and badminton)
Pickleball has grown quickly in Malaysia, and having a court inside the building is a practical selling point. The project FAQ describes the Galaxy Venue as indoor, which means play is less affected by rain or midday heat. Badminton remains one of the most played sports in Johor, so a shared court serves a wide range of residents.
Hoop Court
The Hoop Court gives teenagers and young adults an outdoor basketball space on the Level 10 deck. It is the kind of facility that keeps older children busy without leaving the building.
Orbit Fit and Reflex Path
Orbit Fit is the outdoor fitness zone, while the Reflex Path is a reflexology walking path. Both suit residents who prefer light exercise in the open air, including retirees and parents who want to stretch while the children swim.
Nova Gym (Level 11)
The Nova Gym sits on its own floor directly above the main deck. A separate gym level is useful in a tower of this size: it keeps equipment noise away from the pool and lounges, and gives the gym enough floor area to work as a proper training room rather than a corner of the deck.
Family and quiet zones: Galactic Playground, Cosmic Playhouse and Cosmic Library
Level 10 also includes three spaces aimed at children and quieter moments: an outdoor playground, an indoor-style playhouse and a library. This is what makes The Asteriaz workable as a family home, not only a rental investment.
- Galactic Playground: the outdoor children’s play area, close to the kids’ pool so parents can supervise both.
- Cosmic Playhouse: a play space for younger children, useful during rainy afternoons.
- Cosmic Library: a reading room that also works as a quiet study or remote-work spot for residents who do not want to stay in the unit all day.
- Galaxy Pavilion, Moon Lounge and Cosmic Lounge: sheltered seating and lounge areas for gatherings, small meetings or waiting while children play.
For buyers looking at the 915 sq ft 3-bedroom layouts, these zones are a big part of the value. A family can cover swimming, play, reading and exercise inside the building, which reduces weekend trips across town.
Level 43 rooftop: Moon Deck, Herbs Garden, Starlit Grill and Eclipse Dining
The rooftop on Level 43 is The Asteriaz’s social space, built around a rooftop garden, a herb garden and dining areas. It is the part of the building most residents will use to entertain guests.
- Moon Deck: a landscaped rooftop garden with city views.
- Herbs Garden: a planted garden that adds greenery and a softer feel to the roof.
- Starlit Grill: a barbecue terrace for weekend gatherings and celebrations.
- Eclipse Dining: a rooftop dining area for private dinners and group meals.
Rooftop BBQ and dining spaces are popular in Johor Bahru because they let residents host friends and family without booking a restaurant. For investors, a high-floor dining deck photographs well and helps a listing stand out among older buildings nearby. Most condominiums manage these spaces through a booking system once the building is handed over; the rules are set by the management body, so ask about them when you collect your keys.
Arrival, lifts and everyday convenience
The facilities that matter most day to day are often the least glamorous: the lobby, the drop-off and the lifts. The Asteriaz has a residential Starlight Lobby at lower ground, a separate drop-off, a Cosmic Arrival drop-off court at ground level and retail at street level.
Vertical transport is handled by eight passenger lifts and one service lift for 848 units, which works out to roughly 106 units per passenger lift. A dedicated service lift helps keep renovation materials, furniture deliveries and move-ins away from residents’ lifts, which matters a great deal in the first year after handover when many owners are fitting out at the same time.
Street-level retail inside the development also adds convenience. Even a small row of shops for daily needs can save residents a drive. Outside the building, Holiday Plaza is about 550 m away and KSL City Mall is roughly four minutes by car, according to project materials, so larger shopping trips are short.
How The Asteriaz facilities compare with The Celestz and Causewayz Square
All three EXSIM projects in Johor Bahru are facility-rich, but each has a different emphasis. The Asteriaz leans towards families and recreation, The Celestz adds co-working and entertainment rooms, and Causewayz Square in the city centre is the largest, with 29 podium facilities plus sky decks.
| Item | The Asteriaz | The Celestz | Causewayz Square |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main deck | Level 10, about 14 named facilities | Pool deck with Starlight infinity pool | Level 12 podium, 29 facilities |
| Sky facilities | Level 43 Moon Deck, grill and dining | Sky garden and sky BBQ | Axis Level 60 sky deck; Brixton/Dover Level 57 |
| Gym | Nova Gym, Level 11 | Two-level gym | Fitness studio plus outdoor gym |
| Courts | Galaxy Venue (pickleball, badminton), Hoop Court | Badminton, half basketball court, multipurpose hall | Hoops court, multipurpose hall (pickleball, badminton) |
| Work / leisure rooms | Cosmic Library, lounges | Reading lounge, co-working, karaoke and games room | Gourmet kitchen, lounges |

Maintenance fees: what the facilities cost to run
Facilities are paid for through the monthly maintenance charge. Property portals list The Asteriaz maintenance fee at about RM0.51 per sq ft, which puts the monthly charge at roughly RM286 for a 560 sq ft unit and RM467 for a 915 sq ft unit, before sinking fund.
| Unit type | Size | Estimated maintenance (RM0.51 psf) |
|---|---|---|
| Type A (1 bed + study) | 560 sq ft | About RM286 per month |
| Type B1 / B2 (3 bedrooms) | 915 sq ft | About RM467 per month |
These are estimates based on the portal rate. The final charge, and the sinking fund on top of it, is set in your SPA and later by the management body, so confirm the figures with the latest sales documents. A useful way to think about it: with a single tower of 848 units sharing the costs, a full facility deck can be maintained without the charge rising to the levels seen in small boutique blocks.
Why The Asteriaz facilities matter for rental and resale
In an established area with mostly older condominiums, a new tower with a complete facility deck can stand out to tenants and future buyers. Kebun Teh’s older stock, such as Zennith Suites (completed 2013), typically rents for about RM1,500–2,200 a month, according to portal data; a newer building with pools, courts and a rooftop deck is positioned to compete on quality rather than only on price.
- Listing appeal: rooftop dining, a family pool deck and an indoor court give strong photos and clear selling points.
- Wider tenant pool: families, young professionals and Singapore commuters each find something they value.
- Room-rental support: for 3-bedroom units let room by room, shared facilities make the home feel bigger than its floor area.
- Owner satisfaction: if you plan to live in the unit, you get resort-style amenities at an entry level below JB’s city centre.
Historically, buyers in Johor Bahru have tended to favour newer, well-managed buildings with good facilities when they compare resale options in the same neighbourhood. Good upkeep after handover is what keeps that advantage, so it pays to take part in the management body once the building is completed.
