Thornbury Housemates & Roommates

$280/week•24 year old woman and man

Heyyyy! I work with children with disabilities at a primary school and am also studying psychology at uni; my partner, Riley, is an accountant in local government. For fun, we enjoy going for drives to new places and often spend weekends out and about. We also enjoy playing board and card games, reading and going to art exhibitions. I’m originally from NZ but moved to West Gippsland 7 years ago, which is where Riley grew up. We’ve been together for 5 years ☺️ We’ve lived in share houses before so we understand how important good communication, being clean and being respectful is. Although relatively new to it, we value environmental sustainability and would love to live with likeminded people. We’re not looking for rooms in established share houses as we’re currently looking for rentals in Preston, Coburg, Thornbury or Northcote and open to teaming up with people. Please feel free to shoot us a message with any questions or anything 😁

Hello, My name is Andrew and I am from Canada. I work as a mechanical engineer. I enjoy hiking, photography / videography, cooking and tons of other things. I always want to explore new areas and find new things to do. I enjoy spending time and getting to know my flatmates but also like my own personal space. I am always interested in going to new restaurants/bars. I am currently looking for a private room in a share house for 6 months plus long term. Unfortunately I am allergic to dogs & cats so I can't join a house that has either.

Heya! My name is Emma! I'm 26, working full time as a social worker and looking for one or two others to create a little home with myself and my 7 month old Golden Retriever Pup Wallace! burbs I'm keen on are below - also open to suggestion). Currently living in Northcote so keen to stay close-ish to the city. I’m chasing one or two guy/gals to jump on a lease with me to create a cruisey, respectful and fun little house (that also respect space and solo time, lol). Open to someone with another dog to keep the big fella company! About me: I grew up in country Vic, studied in Geelong and have been taking on the big smoke for the past two years. I’m a cruisey gal who likes to keep a tidy house (as much as I can with a shedding dog, have invested in a Dyson). I love a boogie on the weekends, a wine on the couch, a laugh and spending time with my favorite boy Wal. I do need some time to defrost in the mornings before I have a coffee (lol). About Wallace: Likes: belly rubs, walks, cuddles, kisses, peanut butter, stealing socks/slippers and being told he’s a good boy. Dislikes: the vacuum cleaner, baths (despite copping one fortnightly) and being told no. Wallace is walked twice daily, bathed fortnightly and brushed consistently to minimise the shedding because it shits me - but despite that he's the most beautiful creature to grace the earth (you'd think that an exaggeration, its not). Hoping to start looking for a place mid aug for a move Mid September. Drop me a message, text or call if you want to know more. Peace xx

Hey everyone! We are two pals looking to move into, or start a sharehouse. We’re aiming to move towards the inner city / north side but pretty flexible, looking for one or two other people to team up with. Issy (23) [she/her] I am a hospitality worker (commis chef and bartender) which means I have lots of practical skills and love to share baked goodies. My hobbies are doing creative things like sketching and photography and attempting to finish reading a book. I am always down for a good chat and like to help out whenever needed. Lach (22) [he/him] I work as a web developer and also study computer science part time at RMIT. I’m a big fan of music, technology, design and art. I’ll spend a good chunk of my spare time either working on some techy side project, curating a spotify playlist with some bangers, or obsessing over whatever project Nicole Kidman is currently working on. We’re both very tidy and courteous people, with experience living in sharehouses before - looking for similar housemates for either 6 - 12mths stay, we're pretty flexible. We are both respectful of others' space, but also very down to share a meal & wine, or pop on a good film / mini series (or even karaoke - as pictured above) If we sound like the right fit, send through a message - we look forward to hearing from you guys!

$220/week•34 year old woman

I'm a 34-year old teacher, looking to share a nice home with lovely people, who enjoy a chat and some social time together, but love their own independence too. I'm looking for a single room, would prefer to share a place with maximum 2 other people. I'm clean, but not cleanaholic, and quiet. I value my own time and respect others' lifestyle and routine. I work at Melbourne Uni and in a language school in the city (a bit in person and from home... hard to tell how it's gonna at this stage) so I would prefer something in the northern suburbs. My schedule varies and I often teach in the evening. In my free time I try to be active playing sports, going swimming or cycling. I'm not a party animal, but of course I enjoy going out with friends and usual social gatherings!

Hey there! :) I'm Jude (he/him) - 25 years old, trained teacher but working full time in Teaching Support/Learning Environments at La Trobe University in Bundoora. Usually doing 3 or 4 days per week on campus and 1-2 days working from home. I'm looking for a like-minded person (or two) with a similar schedule to team up with or join a townhouse or unit in/around the Preston/Thornbury areas- but I'm flexible depending on where/what works out. About me- I'm experienced living in share-houses and consider myself quite a neat, clean and tidy person- very mindful of cleaning up after myself and keeping shared spaces tidy and working together on house tasks. My time living in share houses has made me appreciate how important it is to be approachable, constructive and collaborative in living together to create a relaxed comfortable home- and try my best to do so 😊 . I'm hoping to find someone with similar values to team up and share a two or three bedroom unit or town-house- somewhere modern, clean and that can have a friendly, open and positive vibe. Looking for a living situation where we can be friendly and chat, share the communal areas etc but also have our own lives and be respectful of personal boundaries and each other's space. LGBTQI+ friendly is a must. I am a non-smoker and would prefer the same. I'm a moderately social person, always happy to have a cup of tea, chat, have a casual tv/movie night etc. I would like to be able to have friends over for dinner and a glass of wine now and then, and am ok with the same (but my party house days are long behind me). I'm a bit of a geek and/or dork and like to tinker with things, technology etc but also like to read, go riding/mountain biking, hiking, dabble in photography and to cook up a storm on occasion (can offer delicious filipino food). I'm always keen to check out anything new or interesting happening, and love things like markets, festivals, live shows, podcasts, theatre, music, a good coffee spot etc. I'm looking for a place that's also got an off-street carpark or garage if possible as I like to tinker and have a workbench and tools etc (more than happy to share). I'd also like to adopt a rescue kitty soon- but happy to discuss. I have some furniture that can be contributed, but would be sourcing things like a fridge/washing machine etc. I'm super-duper happy to catch up and have a coffee/chat if you think we could be a good housemate pairing, and answer any questions you may have. Looking to move in at the end of August/start of September. Thanks!

Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm 35, work for a wine importer and also run a small company importing wine too. Both keep me pretty busy and leave me with a number of open samples at the end of the week to bring home! In a normal year I don't tend to spend a lot of time at home, i'm often hanging out with friends, at restaurants/bars, down the coast on weekends, at yoga or doing deliveries. That said, I like to unwind at home and share a meal/glass of wine or a Netflix series with my housemate when we are home together. I've lived in a bunch of share houses before and am respectful of communal spaces and like to keep them tidy. I'd like to share the house with people who have a similar work/life balance. People who aren't home all the time, but also enjoy a chat at the end of a day. I have a petite and entertaining half Burmese cat who spends most of her time inside. I haven't had her in a house with a dog or cat however the adoption agency said she has lived with both in her previous home. She's very clean and well trained and will give you a snuggle at the end of the day if you want one.
