Canberra Housemates & Roommates

$200/week•20 year old female

Howdy! I'm currently looking to rent a house with two or more people in my age range. I work in a deli part time so I can bring home cheese and cold meats but I'm currently trying to secure a second job to earn more money and save! I do have a 6 year old lab called Kili and we are a package deal. He is a bit on an inside dog but very well behaved. I have also applied to study at UC but won't hear back for another month or so. I also used to work in events and entertainment so you'll probably hear stories about that....sorry. I am a very respectful and clean housemate and has had experience in a share home before. I understand we all enjoy our own private time but if you want to have a drink or tea or share a meal let me know I'm always down for that! In my spare time I like to go on drives and explore the countryside, go to the gym or sit down with a good book or two. I am a friendly person who always loves to have a chat. I love to cook and will usually try making new recipes and baked goods for everyone to enjoy. I also have a heap of books so feel free to read some. I also collect crystals and stones but they're super pretty and people love them. Also, if you go to Anytime Fitness, let's be gym buddies! I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle. PROS: - will listen to any music - will talk about anything with you - makes a mean spag bol and berry crumble - will be hiding in my room for the whole time unless coming out for food CONS: - hates jimmy barnes - a whore for cheese and hard liquor - prefers ps over xbox and lotr over star wars - watches tik toks too much REVIEWS: "Great company, obeys orders." - Zoe, mother "She's a great baker! Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, pies, you name it." Leah, former housemate "New York's bestselling author." - Ryan, ex boyfriend and former housemate. "My lawyer will be in contact." Also Leah, former housemate.

*Looking for short-term accommodation and team-ups!* Hello! I'm a mid-30s cat-loving woman who is looking to move to Canberra in mid-December to study gender studies and law at ANU. I'm a literal cliché. I am looking for short-term accommodation while I house-hunt for my own place, or a team-up with two others for a long-term solution. If you think we'd vibe as a housemate team, please message me! A little about me, I'm introverted but friendly and have been share-housing for over a decade, so I'm respectful of people's space and need for quiet. I would prefer a household that is friendly and chatty, but not a party house. I'll be relocating from Melbourne and as I've been working from home since March, I will be maintaining my part-time job, so no need to worry about finances and all that jazz. I also come with an 11-year-old toothless and arthritic cat named Spaz. She is fully house-trained and loves to go outside in the sun. If you have a place that is accepting of a cat that would be amazing. Why you should consider me as a housemate: - Comes with a cat who is a character in her own right - Values open, transparent and respectful communication to resolve issues. (If you have an issue with me, please just tell me so we can talk about it!) - Is not passive-aggressive or any form of aggressive (because who wants housemate drama?) - Mature and emotionally intelligent - Clean, quiet and a super responsible pet-owner. Things to consider for team-ups: - I come with a full house of furniture (excluding bedrooms) which includes appliances so no need to worry about $$$ to furnish a place out! (This will be in storage if I'm joining a sharehouse for short-term) - I prefer to live in a TV-free home. Happy to watch movies and tv shows on a laptop but yeah, just not a fan of a TV blaring in the background every day. - Spaz gets along with small dogs who have lived with cats before. She has befriended a bush turkey in the past ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I would be open to trying to accommodate her with another cat. - Looking for a large-ish 3-4 bedroom place to share with 2-3 left-leaning progressive women or men. - Looking at the inner-city area, Belconnen and Gungahlin, and something close to public transport – specifically, the tram. I would prefer a large-ish modern place with 2 bathrooms and a bit of extra space to create a shared communal study/work area. I've been working and studying from home in my bedroom since March, and I just can't do it again. - Looking for a place I can stay in for at least the next 7-9 years as I genuinely hate moving. - I'd really like to create a home with my housemates, and not just another share house - LGBTQI+ friendly Genuinely looking for people I connect with so we can all come home to a safe and supportive environment. If you think you have a room (or a team-up opportunity!) for me then please send me a message! Best, Laura

Hi, I’m a 32yo male, looking for short term accommodation in Canberra. I’m in Canberra for roughly the next 2 months for work. I work as an electrician full time so I will be at work during the week and spend most weekends studying. I’m very considerate of others personal space and like my own space as well.

Hi there! I am moving back to the Capital after 8 years in Melbourne to pursue a Masters of Clinical Psychology. I currently work in youth mental health research, but after stowing away in Canberra for 6 months of Melbourne's lockdown (lucky, I know) I have been convinced that it's the place to be. I'm looking for a share house of young professionals or fellow postgraduate students to settle in and share a space with. A bit about me: I am outgoing and fun-loving, always enjoying an outdoor adventure, dinner party or impromptu games night. I love to spend time with my housemates, but also enjoy my down time and own space. I am very well house trained, having lived in share houses since I was 18. I am an open communicator, a home-maker, crafter and outdoor lover. When I am not home or studying, ill be on a climbing trip, camping or hiking. I also love a good DIY home project, and if the moving van allows, will be bringing my 20+ houseplants with me to my new home. I am mostly vegetarian, but respectful of everyones choices. I'd be looking for a place in the inner northern suburbs, capping rent per week at $200 max. If this sounds like a good fit for your place, please shoot me a message :)

Hi! I'm a 24 year old engineer from Victoria moving up to Canberra for work by the end of the year. I'm hoping to find a sharehouse where I can meet new people and learn my way around Canberra. I'm tidy and organised and have previously lived both in a sharehouse and by myself. I'm happy to have a chat and socialise, but I do respect people's privacy. I enjoy reading and trying my best to cook. Hoping to start back up playing tennis and getting back to the gym once living somewhere out of lockdown!

Hey, I'm Dominic. I'm moving to Canberra from Melbourne in early December to commence ongoing employment as a public servant. I'm a massive sports fan - I play soccer and watch pretty much everything else! I also enjoy reading, following current affairs (bit of an international politics nerd!) and watching movies. I'm a pretty independent person who enjoys having time to myself after a long day. I'm definitely up for hanging out on the weekend, watching sport and relaxing over a quiet drink. I'm a clean and tidy person looking for a room in a sharehouse with similarly independent and relaxed flatmates. Looking for a place in the inner north or south asap, so feel free to message me!
