$250/week•27 year old female

Hi potential roomies :) TLDR; You = fun, me = a catch, as a household = phenomenal. My name is Erica, I'm 28 and I work as a postdoctoral research officer in aquatic ecology and ecotoxicology (currently WFH). I'm originally from Queensland but have been down here braving the Melbourne chill for 1.5 years and plan to stay indefinitely (don’t tell my Mum). I'm looking for a place to call home. Minimum stay 6 months, flexible on move dates, $200-250 per week. Looking for housemates that are similar in age that I can be friends with; we can hang out together, speak openly but know when to give each other some independence. Some selling points/information about me: • STANDARD STUFF ○ Friendly and easy going individual. I'd like to live in a home that is welcoming, fun and relaxing where we all feel like friends/family. ○ House proud and clean. I'm very willing to pull my weight to create a home that we all enjoy being in. ○ Respectful of others privacy and boundaries. ○ Have lived in share houses on and off since I was 20. • IMPORTANT STUFF ○ I'm partial to an exchange of witty banter and love to joke. ○ I'm amazing at connect four. I also like puzzles so could start/contribute to a household puzzle/tv night. ○ I will listen to you complain about work and offer an opinion on tinder profiles should it be requested. ○ Love tea. ○ Super into plants. I have an indoor jungle and started a veggie patch during lockdown which I have bundled up to take with me where ever I land (snow peas are going gang busters FYI, you can thank me later when your annual snow pea costs is $0). ○ I love greyhounds/whippets/italian greyhounds. I may or may not need to pat each and everyone. ○ I enjoy cooking, I come with a food processor, a fancy kitchenaid mix master, knives and a few pans plus Mum's secret recipes. ○ I use to go to the gym/crossfit often (pre covid) now I try work out at home. I have a barbell and weights which I'm happy for others to use, or better yet come join me in a workout! Think of all the gainz. ○ Hiker. You better believe as soon as lockdown is over I'm heading out to a trail. But I also love to veg on the couch on a week night. ○ I have an affinity to insects and offer full/free spider removal services. ○ I enjoy friendly household games like who can make their paper plane go furthest. ○ COVID has lead me to get in touch with my inner Nanna. I now knit and sew. So if you need masks or a beanie, look no further. ○ And because it's helpful to stalk potential roomies here is my IG https://www.instagram.com/erica_odell/ If I sound like someone you'd like to spend lockdown with or you'd like to talk further and organise a meet up please get in touch! Look forward to talking more :) Erica

I’ve recently arrived from the UK. I’m planning on working within the telecommunications industry whilst in Melbourne along side working on some freelance design projects. I’m an avid cricket and football, of which I’m interesting in joining local teams/clubs. I am looking for a private bedroom around Melbourne :)

Hey guys! I'm looking for a new place in early October- i've had some great shared housing experiences and can't wait for this next one! :) (Move date is slightly flexible.) My main hobbies pre-lockdown were writing, making clothes and creating pretty much anything creative (except music, how do you even do that?!) and going out to see friends. So i'm definitely a very creative type, but my interests span across everything really- i'm also really into anime, fitness, games, travel, meeting new people and hitting social outings very frequently. Just suggest me a new hobby and i'll probably be interested. 😅 On that note, i'm always down to have a chat on the couch with my housemates or even head out for dinner sometimes- but I totally respect the need for privacy, and definitely need it myself sometimes being such a busy person (although I'm obviously not as busy these days.) I've made some great friends with former housemates though- and love keeping a casual, friendly and warm atmosphere at home. It feels great to actually feel "at home", right? Anyhow, shoot me a message if you think we might be a good match and we can have a video/phone call- i've got a great rental history with references to provide, as I always keep the house clean and manage rent/bills on time. Thanks! :) -Dureece

Looking for clean accommodation close to the city, school and my three children. I'm currently living between the city and a rural family property. I recently acquired a puppy so I have needed to alter my profile. Clean, quiet and as happy to sit and chat as to keep to myself and be respectful of another's space and privacy. Thanks to all who've taken the time to read my profile.

Hi All, I’m keen to start chatting with some possible future housemates, with everything happening in Melbourne it seems like a good idea to start looking early! I’m currently living in Hawthorn up until the end of September and hoping to stay in the area. Happy to move in with 1-3 people depending on what places are available. These days staying in and watching Netflix is the norm, but did used to enjoy going out for a drink and some good food. Hopefully we can do that again by the time we move in together! I function far better in summer when I can head to the beach and I try travel whenever I can afford it (and am allowed to). My cooking skills are still a work in progress, but will always be down for a chat and a wine 👍

$130/week•35 year old female

Hello! Note: I will only consider rent at $130 per week or less and in areas I've specified. People keep messaging me with unsuitable properties so this should save some time! I'm flexible with move in dates. I'm from the UK. I've lived in Melbourne for about 8 years, in Brunswick for 3 years, and have rented since I was 19 years old so I am very well house-trained. However, the beautiful old house I'm currently renting is up for sale so need a new place to call home. I'm looking to find the right people to live with for the long-term. The house sale is put on hold due to COVID19 but it will happen sooner or later which is why I'm looking. I work in tech for a non-profit health organisation and I also freelance as a tutor/editor. In my spare time, I volunteer as a hike guide, help run wellness workshops and meditation retreats and volunteer at Buddhist centres, so I keep myself quite busy. I am an expat from the UK with Asian roots and in the process of becoming an Australian citizen. Looking to find a place I can call home. What I'm looking for: a peaceful, comfy and relaxing home where everyone communicates, gets on well, has some sort of tidiness and don't mind a good chat in the evenings. Ideally, would love it if we all got on like a family, are within a similar age group (I'm in my late 30s), happy to do things together as a house but also have their own independence. I'm not really into late night parties. I prefer chilled evenings or the odd BBQ/dinner party with board games. I'm a good communicator and mature as well as a good listener and a team player. Have lived in rental houses for over 20 years. Prefer to stay with non-smokers, no heavy drinkers and a drug-free home. I always pay bills on time and a clean/tidy person who cleans up after herself. So no problems with tidiness or cleanliness. Interests and hobbies: I am an outdoor adventure enthusiast, love all things hiking and camping, an active volunteer, meditation retreats and wellness workshops in Australia and sometimes trek overseas. I practise daily yoga and meditation. I like gardening and growing edible things in the garden, cooking all my meals, baking gluten-free/sugar-free/vegan delights and sourdough bread, sprouting alfalfa and pea shoots type of lady, love my healthy eating, (trying to) write a few books, reading lots of books on self-development/psychotherapy/wellness/psychology/medicine, and probably more stuff.
