Sit back and relax over a movie or a good book. Everything in The Fern has been chosen with pleasure and comfort in mind.
Welcome to the Fern, an everything but ordinary stay! The boldest step in the five year process of development has been building to the Passive House Standard - a rigorous, scientific method of building high comfort, low energy homes of the future.
There is currently a construction site next door with building works expected to finish on April 2024, that faces this courtyard. The building works do obstruct the original views shown in this image (image taken prior to next door construction)

About this property

The Fern: Split-level Eco Luxury w/ Lush Courtyard

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. The two-level layout separates the living and sleeping areas, while the courtyard provides a private corner to unwind. With Redfern Station and Green Square transport links a short walk away, it’s an easy base to rest up and explore the city.
Entering on the top floor, you’ll find a generously sized bedroom and bathroom that offer a comfortable place to wind down after a long day. The bedroom includes a king bed with crisp linen, ample built-in storage, shut-out blinds and pops of sublime, one-off local artwork. Triple-glazed doors and windows help keep the space quiet for a restful sleep. The double-sink bathroom provides toiletries and soft towels, with laundry and ironing facilities conveniently located in the top-floor hallway.

Heading downstairs, the living area opens into bright interiors thanks to high windows that bring in gentle natural light. From here, step into the private courtyard, where greenery and cosy seating create a simple outdoor corner to pause with a coffee or rest between outings.

The kitchen is well set up for home cooking, with a Smeg oven, microwave/grill and induction cooktop, along with Furi knives and Scanpan cookware. A large dining table and nearby breakfast bar offer plenty of space for meals or work, and the couch provides a comfortable place to unwind in front of the TV with views toward the courtyard.

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 space to yourself including the courtyard. 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.

We are pet-friendly - please add the number of pets you're travelling with and let us know about your furry friend at the time of booking. We’ll reach out to charge a standard pet fee of $50.

~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. Thank you for your understanding.
