Kensington Housemates & Roommates

$250/week•34 year old male

Looking for a private room in a shared house in and around port Melbourne and close to the CBD. I am going through an amicable separation and need something temporary with flexible length of stay which is something I prefer until I find my own place. Is that ok with you? I am ok with the bond and will give at least 1 week of notice if I move out with the room cleaned. I am 34 male and have lived in Melbourne, AU for 12 years. I also work full time in the CBD in the education industry and currently wfh due to the pandemic. I am a vegetarian, like the outdoors, long walks , and have always been a tidy person. Like the quiet and chill, very easy going and don’t mind pets.

I'm a 39 yr old American expat, I have 2 cats that have to travel with me, one is just learning to cat (she's 8 months). Like a tidy home with other chilled out adults where we don't have to spend time together but a shared meal/drinks is awesome (I love to cook btw). My budget is including bills/week. I am starting my studies at VU in teaching and I enjoy reading, arting, going to the gym and whatever sport is on that I enjoy. I like playing board games, PS4, and all sorts of co-op goofyness. I'm LGBTQ+ friendly, mostly vegetarian - chicken eater here and there out of medical necessity, eco-friendly, don't smoke, enjoy a drink here and there but not a 'drinker', ex-military, extremely chill human being. I've recently divorced so looking for a stable environment. I'm looking for space enough for my queen bed, computer desk, cats, and aquarium - the rest I can figure out. I can come with a small fridge, dryer, and washing machine. I have a full set of kitchen equipment and vacuum as well. I take public transport pretty much everywhere so that nearby would be great and only ride an ebike and motorcycle. I don't care if I live with men, women, or anywhere on the spectrum of gender as long as they are decent human beings.

This is a pre-emptive post since I already have a lease until 2021 but looking to move out to find a more sociable and creative household (post isolation realisations). Would need at least one month of notice to transfer my existing lease and ideally be able to meet in person without worrying about the cops. Ahoy potential future housemates, I am a green architect-designer in my mid-late twenties (graduated from Italy, worked in Dubai) who has lived in 7 different countries (lots of stories) before calling Melbourne my home. Currently getting my graduate degree on property development at the University of Melbourne and working part time in hospitality since I don't wanna go back to being an architect but instead want to perfect my espresso martinis. If I was to briefly describe myself with cliché mottos, mines would be somewhere around 'work hard, play hard' , 'love what you do, do what you love' and 'less is more'. I absolutely love all outdoor activities (when its not on fire), love to dance (anything that has a good beat), interested in anything arts - design - business related, a little bit of a travel addict (In good ol' days when travel was a thing) and a self-proclaimed wine guru. My home is my sanctuary so even though I like adventures and occasional boogies, home is where I recharge my batteries and feel safe. Lived with housemates my entire adult life (males, females and LGBTQ) so perfectly house trained and fully aware of personal space. Have my own busy life but nonetheless would still like to have the ability to socialise with my housemates on occasional basis ex: movie nights, odd drinks, dinners etc. Love animals of all kinds (especially dogs) but allergic to cats (sadly) and drama (not so sadly). I also have my own room's furniture, a bean bag, a dishwasher, laundry dryer machine and a smug smile. Ideally looking for a MODERN 11m2+ room in northern inner city suburbs for long term in a house/unit that has 2- 4 bedrooms, and an en-suite or a shared bathroom. Would prefer to go on a lease so happy to provide references and bank statements if required. I am considering moving out of my current place due to lack of sociability and environmentally consciousness of my housemates which has been especially challenging during isolation. So if you are a member of a mature and neat household that is looking for another crew to trim the sails, feel free to reach out. Cheers Efe

I’m looking for a laid-back place to call home. My weeknights are pretty quiet and I like to get out and about on the weekend under normal circumstances. I love spending time with my dog and my friends and getting out in nature, taking day trips, cooking and eating are also up there as my favourite things to do. My dog Ninja is five years old and super well-behaved. He’s used to an inside/outside lifestyle and gets along well with other dogs. Looking to find somewhere with like-minded people who are friendly, considerate and clean. I like to socialise but I also like my own space.

Hi there, my name is Hari, I am from Indonesia but I have been working in Melbourne for the past 2 years and I previously worked in the Netherlands for 3 years. I have met people from different places around the world, so I am quite open to talk about tons of different topics :) I love to cook (not that good though) and love to go for a jog every now and then. I am currently looking for a room to live in Melbourne, looking forward to meeting my flatmate!

Hello Potential Housemates/New Friends! I’m Bridget, a 31 year old female (edging towards 32 - that’s still early 30s yeah?) accepting of all things and people 🙂 Currently on the hunt for a rocking new sharehouse to join for the next 12 or so months while I wrap up the savings fund for a home of my own. Ideally looking around Kensington or North Melbourne. Work wise I’m a full time event manager, mostly from home at the moment so would need bedroom space for a small desk. I LOVE cooking and sharing meals as a household, and after nearly 14 years of sharehouse life am very attuned to all the required normals such as cleaning up after yourself, weekly bathroom cleans, washing the teatowels, taking out the rubbish etc... I’m after a social home, but do appreciate some quiet time and Netflix binge every now and again. I have no pets, and a few household items including some benches, dining table and a couch - but they can either come or go pending the situation!

Hi! I'm from Country Victoria and have started work in Melbourne (Footscray) as a Firefighter. I have a permanent roster of 2 day shifts, 2 night shifts, followed by 4 days off. I am looking for a nice, spacious room in a non-smoking home or apartment. I'm quiet, considerate and clean. In my spare time, I love going to gym (f*k Covid) so I'll likely travel back to Country Vic on my 4 days off while Melbourne is locked down (again). I don't have any pets, although I do love dogs, but allergic to (some) cats. It is likely that I will move firestations in a few months, so location isn't too much of a concern, but looking at city or inner north/west (anything is better than a daily commute from Bendigo)

Hi! I'm looking for a cosy place to call home and great housemates to share that home with. I'm a young professional working in economics and research. On the weekends and after work hours you'll generally find me catching up with friends, reading, gardening, cooking, volunteering or going on the occasional hiking/bikepacking adventure. I'm pretty houseproud and looking to contribute to a clean, tidy and respectful household. I generally prefer to cook my own meals, but enjoy the occasional household dinner and always happy to share!
