House sit NEW FARM

Your New Farm mornings establish an easy routine. Leash in hand, a stroll through New Farm Park offers ample space for a dog’s enthusiastic explorations, or a quieter walk along the river path before the day fully wakes. Merthyr Village beckons afterward for a quick coffee and a pastry, where you'll observe locals beginning their own days. These local circuits become a comfortable part of caring for your temporary companion and home. Midday hours encourage a deeper dive into the area’s distinct character. Wander down Brunswick Street for independent shops, or head towards James Street for a thoughtful browse through its curated fashion and homeware stores. The Powerhouse, sitting grandly by the river, presents an ever-changing program of art and performance, a welcome cultural anchor. For lunch, numerous low-key eateries dot the streets, serving up fresh, unpretentious meals. As evening approaches, the neighbourhood settles into a relaxed hum. Consider a ferry ride from the Powerhouse terminal, watching the city lights come alive from the water, or simply enjoy the quiet tree-lined streets. For dinner, New Farm delivers a variety of options, from casual Italian trattorias to more refined dining experiences, all within an easy walk. Saturday mornings at the Jan Powers Farmers Markets in New Farm Park offer fresh produce and artisan goods, making grocery runs an enjoyable part of your stay.
