Our home

Large terrace house in a leafy Redfern Street close to Surry Hills and an excellent variety of cafes, bars, and restaurants.

The backyard has a BBQ and outdoor table setting. The house has a new kitchen (installed last November), a coffee machine, is walking distance to the SCG, Centennial park, and an easy bus ride to the city (bus stop is about 100m away).

The main bedroom has a king bed with built-ins (we will dedicate some space for any clothes you want to hang).

favoriteWhat we love about our area

It's a quiet neighbourhood but only 200m to restaurants and the vibrant Crown Street precinct.

Our pets

CatsCats (2)
Two ginger brothers, 18 months old. They're quite independent now, and spend their days sleeping and exploring the back lane and neighbour's backyards.

They don't tend to seek out cuddles, but they do like human company and will call out if they can't immediately find you in the house in the evening.

They like a chat, head scratches, and food :)

Our garden

local_floristGarden or plant care

Minimal - There are some plants that would need watering if it's hot. We'll give everything a good soak before we go, and it's only 3 days, so there shouldn't be much to do in the way of the garden.

Review

We enjoyed taking care of Iggy and Biccie - two very cute cats who quickly became quite affectionate and playful during our house sit. The house is lovely and in a fantastic location in Redfern - walking distance from heaps of shops, cafes and restaurants. Jason provided clear instructions for the cats and house, was easy to communicate with and responsive to messages.
