The Fern New York Warehouse Style Retreat

Welcome to the Fern, Australia’s first certified Passive House apartment building. Tucked away in Sydney’s Redfern/Eveleigh/Alexandria triangle and close to South Eveleigh’s dining, bars and shopping, it gives you convenient access to the area’s highlights. This New York–style apartment offers a spacious layout, practical design and thoughtful touches to make settling in simple. With Redfern Station and Green Square transport links a short walk away, it’s an easy base for exploring the city.
Step inside to a light-filled and spacious open-plan home. High windows span the far side of the apartment, bringing in plenty of natural light throughout the day. When it’s time to wind down, triple-glazed glass, motorised retractable blinds and heavy acoustic sound-dampening curtains help create a calmer atmosphere for rest.

The kitchen is set up for easy home cooking, with a Smeg oven, microwave/grill and induction cooktop, along with Furi knives and Scanpan cookware. Opposite, you’ll find convenient laundry and ironing facilities. The large dining table offers ample space for meals, work or gathering with friends. The roomy living area provides several comfortable spots to sit, study or relax. Stretch out on the sofa in front of the TV, settle into the recliners or make use of the table for work or planning your day.

A timber bi-fold door closes off the bedroom, which features a queen bed with crisp linen, built-in storage and touches of one-off local artwork. The bathroom includes double sinks, toiletries and soft towels to help you freshen up with ease.

Street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, though there is no dedicated parking on-site. Please note that, as the building is set in a lively inner-city area, you may occasionally hear neighbours or light street activity.

Please note: The building is in the process of addressing some long-term maintenance matters, so a few areas of the apartment may show cosmetic wear. This does not impact your stay, and we routinely monitor and refresh the space to keep it clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Portable dehumidifiers are also provided to help maintain air quality and keep the space feeling fresh.
During your stay you will have the entire apartment to yourself. Please make yourself at home!

A playground of opportunity awaits with all of Sydney’s rich culture at your doorstep. In under 10 minutes, discover a plethora of treasures ready to tick off the to-do list, like lush parklands along with trendy cafes and prominent bars. Other treats to enjoy and explore include pools, art galleries and local boutiques that make up an integral part of Redfern’s unique charm.

The South Eveleigh area also provides a vibrant, green landscape teeming with play spaces, innovative technology precincts and charming retailers. Eveleigh’s farmers market held each Saturday brings the best of farm-to-table table to local shoppers each week. Within a few minutes, you’ll also reach the art hub Carriageworks and major company headquarters like CBA or Channel 7.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

~Long Stays~
Stays of 21 days or more will incur an additional $120 fee, charged separately, to cover the cost of a deep clean and maintain the property's cleanliness after an extended stay. In-stay cleans are available for $275 and include a full cleaning service with professionally laundered fresh linen.

~ Baby Items ~
There is a portable travel cot available at the property which we can set up for you if requested. Unless specified, the portable travel cot will be placed in the primary bedroom of the property.
Note that our portable travel cots do not come with linens (sheets) or pillows. You would need to supply these items yourself. The property also has a highchair available, which we can have set up for you if requested.

~ Tiny Visitors ~
Sydney is a warm, urban city, and occasionally a bug or two may find its way inside, sometimes through a window or balcony door. This property has been professionally treated at the start of summer and a spray is provided as a backup. This can occur and is quite common in city homes, and does not reflect the cleanliness of the property.

Sustainable, refillable toiletries are provided and are intended to be reused, not discarded. These items help reduce single-use plastic waste. If any bottles are thrown away or removed, replacement costs will be charged to the guest.

Thank you for your understanding.
