Comments: We love living in Sydney’s Inner West, known for its creative energy, wonderful cafés and restaurants, live music venues, galleries, and local breweries. With its strong sense of community, it’s a friendly and welcoming neighbourhood. Lewisham borders Marrickville, Petersham, Dulwich Hill and is a five min drive/cycle to the vibrant suburbs of Enmore and Newtown. Public transport options — bus, train, and light rail — are all within a three to ten-minute walk. We’re just 7.5 km from central Sydney and 4.4 km from the University of Sydney. Local shops are a five-minute stroll away, and there’s a park within 50 metres of the house. Overall, the location combines practical transport access with a broad choice of shops, parks and hospitality venues within walking distance.

House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

I would like help with mail and deliveries

Would ask that any mail be collected from letterbox during your stay.

I would like help with plants or garden

Would ask that indoor plants be watered once a fortnight and outside pot plants as well. We have mainly Australian natives in the garden, so nothing is too delicate.
