Surry Hills homes you can take for six weeks.
Furnished, bills included, and the agreement runs exactly as long as you need it to.
One week to 24 months is what EzyFlats rents in Surry Hills. Most stays land between one and twelve weeks, which is the part of the year hotels price badly and agents will not let you have.
What counts as a medium-term rental?
Australian renting is built around two extremes. Short-stay platforms are priced by the night and get punishing past about a month. Traditional agencies want twelve months, a rental history and a queue of applicants at a Saturday inspection. Neither fits someone who needs somewhere to live in Surry Hills for six weeks.
Medium-term is the space in between — typically one to twelve weeks, though it stretches from a single week to two full years. The home comes furnished with bills included, the agreement is written and signed digitally, and the term is whatever you actually need.

Medium-term agreements in New South Wales
In New South Wales, a stay under 21 days sits outside the Residential Tenancies Act, so shorter medium-term bookings run as a short-stay agreement with the deposit held by EzyFlats rather than lodged with NSW Fair Trading. Longer stays are documented accordingly.
Staying in Surry Hills
Surry Hills is one of inner Sydney's most concentrated walking suburbs, sitting immediately east of Central Station. Once the city's working-class manufacturing district, two decades of gentrification have turned its narrow lanes of Victorian and Edwardian terraces into the home of Sydney's design, advertising, technology and fashion industries. The suburb is built on hills, which gives most streets a view either toward the CBD skyline or down toward Moore Park, and has a density of independent cafés, wine bars and restaurants — Crown Street, Bourke Street, and the Cleveland-Devonshire intersection in particular — that few Australian neighbourhoods match. Renter demographics skew toward professionals in their late twenties through forties, with a strong representation of hospitality and creative workers, queer community members (Oxford Street's Taylor Square sits at the eastern edge), and increasingly tech workers from Atlassian's nearby HQ in Tech Central. Housing stock is dominated by terrace houses (often subdivided into 2–3 bedroom rentals), warehouse conversions in the Cleveland Street belt, and a smattering of newer apartment buildings around Central. Walk Score is among the highest in Sydney — almost everything in the suburb is reachable on foot, and Central Station, Museum, Town Hall and the new Sydney Metro at Waterloo are all within 10 minutes' walk. Typical furnished-rental tenants are corporate transfers in tech and finance who want a walking-commute lifestyle, design-industry professionals, returning expats sampling life before committing to buy, and short-stay visitors connected to nearby hospitals (St Vincent's is a 15-minute walk through Darlinghurst). Comparable Inner Sydney alternatives include Darlinghurst (denser nightlife), Redfern (cheaper, gentrifying) and Paddington (more boutique-residential).

Medium-term rentals in Surry Hills — common questions
How long is a medium-term rental in Surry Hills?
Medium-term sits between a short stay and a standard residential lease — longer than a holiday booking, shorter than a twelve-month commitment. On EzyFlats in Surry Hills that means anything from one week to 24 months, and most stays run between one and twelve weeks.
How is it different from a short-term rental?
Short-stay platforms price by the night and get expensive past about a month, with cleaning and service fees stacked on top. A medium-term rental is priced weekly, includes bills, furniture and Wi-Fi, and comes with a written agreement rather than a booking confirmation.
Do I need to sign a 12-month lease?
No. That is the point of the category. You commit to the term you actually need in Surry Hills — a week, a season, or up to two years — with no rollover and no lock-in.
What is included?
Every home is fully furnished with bills and Wi-Fi included, so there is nothing to connect, buy or move in. Listings are pre-screened and every landlord is ID-verified.
How is my money protected?
Deposit held securely by EzyFlats until move-in. Rent is processed through Stripe, and the Move-In Guarantee refunds your first week's rent and service fee if the property does not match its listing.
