Kensington Housemates & Roommates
Dee
Looking in: Parkville, North Melbourne, Kensington, Brunswick, Carlton, Collingwood
Greetings all! 2 possums recently decided to break into my room via my window and stare at me as I slept. I took that as a sign it was time for a new place. I'm Dee, 32, looking for a place to hang my hat, set my WiFi password and call home. Contractor in film and other mundane activities to earn my bread and butter. Mon-Fri: After work I'm fairly quiet as I'll either be at(tempting to go to) the gym, out with friends or catching up on TV shows (putting the kgs I burned off at the gym back on). Weekends: Usually out and about. I'm extremely easy going and enjoy a good belly laugh. I'm tidy, considerate, generous and respectful. Not a good cook (sorry guys) so you'll see me in the kitchen as often as the Loch Ness monster. Lived in share houses for many years and still very close friends with those I've lived with so I guess that makes me bearable. I'm looking to live with amazing people I can consider friends, who enjoy some banter, a few laughs, partaking in drinks or dinner but can also understand my need for alone time. Just as much as I respect my housemates I'd like to find peeps that are considerate, fun loving and also easy going. Bonus points if you love your movies and binging on Game of Thrones and have a crazy eclectic taste in music! So, if your home sounds like it could benefit from some easygoing vibes, lots of laughter and the threat of possums is not on the cards then please get in touch! PS. Flexible on dates. Preference towards a larger bedroom (bonus points with ensuite) and in a house or townhouse. No small apartments for me, unfortunately!

I am a 23 year old working full time in an admin role in the insurance and risk industry (fun!). I am very chill, love cleaning, not the greatest cook but always willing to give it a go, and my favourite way to spend my evenings is to watch Netflix. I also com with Pepper, a 6 month old kitten who is toilet trained, super cute, and up to date on all vaccines. I'm looking for housemates I can be friends with who are up for occasionally spending time together.
Swathi
Looking in: West Melbourne, South Yarra, Richmond, North Melbourne, Melbourne, Kensington, Abbotsford
I'm a paralegal working at a law firm in the CBD and am finishing off my law degree this year. I'm looking for a cosy place close to the CBD (west/north Melbourne) to call home so that I can settle into a life of endless work after I finish studying in October! I have a stable income and guaranteed employment so payment is never an issue and I'm always financially conscious and organised. Despite still being a student I've very much been accustomed to a 9-5pm lifestyle for a few years now. I value my free time and don't party. I prefer quiet nights and am always up for a dinner and keep my adventures to weekends. I'm super clean, love to cook and am watching Netflix when I'm not studying/working. I'm looking for a like-minded person to share a home with! I value creating a space that feels like a home <3
Rhi

Hi, my name is Rhi. My cat Vinny and I need to be out of our current house in September due to our existing housemates all growing up and pairing off so we’re looking for some new ones! I am 28, employed full-time, and have been living in share houses since I was 18 so I know the drill. Things get paid on time, communal areas get kept tidy, and my work schedule means I’ve never clashed with anyone for the bathroom. I’m a bit creative (I draw and paint and collect dumb eclectic things) so hopefully my housemates won’t mind the decorative mishmash of things I intend to hang on our walls! I have got a house worth of furniture (sofas, wall units, large TV, fridge, washing machine, etc.) which I can either sell or bring with me. I like my homes to be chill places where people are comfortable to be themselves. Whilst not expressly looking for a party house I believe that friends and lovers should always be welcome. I am invaluable at pub trivia nights. I am rainbow friendly and bigot unfriendly. An older character place full of music, blankets, fairy lights, plants, books and snacks and with at least a small yard is my dream. I’m open to starting up a new home as well as to joining a welcoming existing one. Vinny is a small ginger rescue boy with the sweetest face who is super skilled at sitting juuust out of reach and stealing food literally from your mouth. He is stupidly obsessed with a big plush Rastafarian banana that I have. He is plucky and I have seen him interact well with other animals. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

Tidy, considerate, social but also enjoy my own time
Thomas
Looking in: North Melbourne, Kensington, Flemington, Brunswick, Footscray
I’m moving to Melbourne to go to school at Victoria University. I’m hoping to start working part time at some point, I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to survive otherwise. I’m not sure if I’m great to live with, I’m honestly very timid. So if I’m annoying it’ll hopefully be because I’m trying so hard not to be, so at least my intentions are good! I like sports, I like board games. I actually like washing dishes, don’t know why, it’s cathartic. I can be messy, but it’s restricted to my room. I am looking for places that are near public transport, because I can’t drive. I’m transgender, I guess that’s important, I don’t really know what I’m doing. I might hide in my room, I assure you this is because I’m sad and has nothing to do with you. Also I feel awkward listing myself as a girl, I don’t want to impose myself and my messed up head on you, and I won’t be insulted if you’d rather address me as male.

Hey! I'm Ety, a brazilian happy soul who’s in Melbourne to study and have fun. I’m living here since a year and I pretend to stay for long. I’m used to share home with anothers, so I appreciate a clean and organize space. Tbh I'm most of the time at work or school but I’m aways keen to hang out, share a dinner and have a chat.

Sabrina
Looking in: Parkville, North Melbourne, Kensington, Flemington, Carlton, Brunswick West, Brunswick
Hi :) I am Sabrina and am currently doing an internship at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute until January. In my (very limited) free time I enjoy cooking or baking (I am vegetarian but don’t have a problem with meat eaters at all), Netflix binge watches but also doing sports like running or yoga. I am tidy, won’t be home a lot but when I am always happy to have a good conversation or a drink (or coffee! lots of coffee :D). I also like pets very much, so that wouldn’t be a problem. I don’t have any furniture at the moment but if it’s the right place I am happy to organise some. The weekly maximum I can pay is $250 inkluding bills. Let me know if you are interested! Sabrina

Esa

Hey! I'm a 34 - year old psychology student, studying over at Victoria University in Footscray Park campus. I like to do a bit of cooking, and would love to have a team cook-out with my flatmates or other similar shenanigans. For my free time, I'm mainly focusing on my studies, and going to the gym. I value cleanliness and consideration above all else. Looking for like-minded individuals who want to live in a clean, calm (especially at night-time), and pleasant environment. I don't have too much of my own stuff, so I'm ideal for households that don't want the property to be crammed with different items. Also for that reason I'm looking for a furnished room. Drop a message and lets have a chat. :)
Ellie

I’m 22, and am working full time at the moment in hospitality, thinking of getting back into study next year. I’ve been know as the 'old souled 22 yr old’, but love a good bit of social hangout time and a few drinks here and there. Im a clean and tidy person and am always happy to do more then my fair share of house work if reciprocated. I also have a cat, her name is Pudding, she is a shy and timid female ginger, once you get to know her she'll indulge in a good head scratch. A little about what im looking for: People who are tidy and clean up after themselves, contribute to house cleaning, keep the communal space clean of your clutter, open minded. :)

From America here to play soccer and work. I am an easy going person who appreciates my privacy but enjoys being social as well. I'm a clean and considerate person to live with and can communicate well. I enjoy athletics, listening to music, cooking, and naps. I love to learn so I'm open to trying new things and experiencing different cultures to broaden my knowledge of the world.

Hey Flatmates! Currently living with 6 people, not going to lie it’s getting a bit full on and need to get out. I’m looking for a 2-3 person max sharehouse, apartment, studio. I’m 27 and work full time in North Melbourne 5-6 days a week 7-5pm most of the time. I’m career driven and tend to relax when I get a day off. Love having a beer and watching the footy. Can make a mean mash potato and spaghetti! Basically looking for some peace and quiet but nothing extreme, we all want to have fun now and again. Hope you here from some of you :)

Hey there pals! I'm looking for a private room to move into before September 15. I love the Moonee Valley area and would preferably like to stay put around here or somewhere nearby. I just left studies in creative writing at La Trobe and am working as a marketing assistant and a waitress, also trying to develop my own business selling prints of my art. I spend a good deal of my spare time at home in my own space, painting and drawing. Because of that, I might be wrongly perceived as reclusive to some but I always love having a good chat and am always up for doing things as a house. My door is usually open. It'd be great to find a place with roomies who are likeminded and also enjoy that sense of company and actually being friends with who they live with. I also love yoga and am learning guitar. I'm a tattoo addict and Seinfeld is my go-to show. I appreciate a clean house and am very respectful. I always have money for rent and bills in time. I don't have pets but would love to be pals with yours if you have any! Excluding rats and mice and ferrets and shit. Not into that. I'm also pescetarian but don't mind at all what others cook/eat. Message me if this sounds like I'd be right for your place :)

I'm 26 and moved to Australia permanently a year go, and I've been living in a flatshare in Southbank. Now I'm hoping to get amongst things in the Melbourne suburbs. I work full-time at VicRoads as a Project Engineer in the CBD. I love music and play guitar myself. I love sport too but still trying to get my head around footy! I also enjoy spending time with good people having a drink and good food, and getting outdoors too. I'm Sri Lankan originally but grew up in Abu Dhabi. I lived in London and Hong Kong before Melbourne, so have been sharing flats for a while now.
Samantha

I'm normal, relaxed and pretty good at Sunday roast and hoping to find a nice home to join with limited drama, sociable-ness and respect for private time. A cat would be the best bonus :)
