House sit NEWSTEAD

Your mornings in Newstead will quickly settle into a pleasant rhythm, often beginning with a riverside stroll. Taking the resident dog through Newstead Park towards the historic Newstead House offers shaded paths and ample space for their daily exercise before the Queensland sun climbs high. Many local dogs converge here, establishing a familiar scene. Afterward, a short walk brings you to the Gasworks precinct, where a number of cafes open early, providing an easy stop for a coffee and perhaps any essential pet provisions from the nearby market-style grocer. Afternoons offer opportunities to extend your explorations. Consider cycling the riverwalk path toward Teneriffe, or for a different perspective, catch the CityCat ferry from Breakfast Creek Wharf, providing an effortless way to reach South Bank or the city centre. Weekends invite a more leisurely pace; a Saturday morning could involve browsing the Jan Powers Farmers Market in New Farm, easily reachable by a short bus ride or a pleasant riverside walk, to gather fresh produce. Evenings present numerous dining options around the Gasworks precinct, from casual al fresco meals to tasting local brews, all within a comfortable distance of your temporary home.
