Centennial Park to rent out holiday properties

In what might prove to be central Sydney's closest answer to a game park stay, Centennial Park's recently restored residences will be available for rent in just a few months.

The holiday homes will come complete with the option of an in-house chef from hot local restaurant, Vincent.

James Hird, co-owner of Woollahra's the Wine Library, Pinbone and Vincent restaurants, confirmed the group will look after the food at the park's new five-star boutique accommodation.

"We'll do breakfasts, picnic hampers, even their own chef for the night if they want it," he says.

Regular joggers in the park have tracked the building work that has seen massive chandeliers luxe up the heritage-listed ranger's and superintendent's residences; a makeover done by the team at the Hughenden Hotel.

Guests will be able to do wildlife spotting, looking out for the park's full-time residents - tawny frogmouths, possums, and the odd fox. Hird says his restaurant group is also on track for the reopening of Buzo restaurant, in a CBD site, in early 2015.

But before that, they will open a new function room at Vincent.
