Homestay
Rent includes Internet, Utilities, entirely fully furnished Master bedroom and home. Happy to discuss shorter timeframe if suitable and/or negotiate part-time commuter arrangement (weekdays only). Seeking a kind, clean, considerate, respectful, mature and responsible working full-time individual to join our sweetheart home for 1 - 3 - 6 months (with a possibility of extension). You MUST be prepared to be loved by my rescue dog, so being dog friendly is essential. Honestly, you won't be able to fight it, she loves anyone with hands! Even 'she' dislikes other dogs - so she knows how you may feel before you met her. And she sleeps a lot and never barks, seriously not at all, she's like a cat...that doesn't bark. I have a 3 bedroom plus study home, in the quiet sanctuary suburb of older (cooler) Watson. Within walking distance to Watson shops est. 5 mins (Knox Cafe). Very central to the city centre and public transport within walking distance. Off street parking is available or if preferred can lock behind gated driveway (ah! we've seriously never had any issues). Offering the sunny main bedroom of my home, with full wall length mirrored built-in wardrobe (yep, that's right!). Bedroom is at the rear side of our house, so very quiet. It's fully furnished with the newest most comfortable queen size bed in the house, linen, pillows, doona and electric blanket (for those who feel the cold) included. And fresh towels (yep, all provided). Central Heating and cooling. Superior washing machine. Wifi. Shared retro bathroom in great condition (sharing only with myself, really no competition on demand of use - plus mirror wardrobes in bedrooms to jazz up in front of). New Kitchen with everything you need (pots, pans, kitchen gadgets, fridge - the lot!) and renovated combined lounge/dining area. Coffee machine (yet it may be dying soon). oh! And a chest freezer in garage if you're a bulk buyer of frozen hoard or cook too much food (guilty!). Garage also available for some storage if required. Sunny back deck (for smokers and sun worship) and large grassy back lawn (too large, mowing kills me) with hedges (they also kill me). You simply bring yourself, your clothes and food! Walk-in! and once you crash in that bed, you are part of the home! Most likely just after being hugged on by my fur kid. I told you, you can't fight it, she loves you and she hasn't even met you yet... Rent includes everything, so no stress down the pipeline. If you feel like our place could be the place for you, please feel free to contact us! (Really me, as my dog has no email or phone).

Unfurnished room in a flatshare
I just moved here and I'm still setting it up and learning its quirks and the benefits of living in this part of town. It is easy to get anywhere in town from here. There are a few shopping areas in walking distance to pick from. Buses stop a few houses away if you need that. It has evidently been well looked after and has new carpet, a gas stove, plenty of hot water and the temperature stays comfortable even with no heater on all but the coldest nights. Which room you'd have is up for negotiating and it would be based on need as they are different sizes with different amounts of storage.

Furnished room in a share house
We are looking for a happy, friendly housemate to share our home. About the room: Sunny, north facing room with a huge built-in wardrobe. It can come either furnished, or unfurnished. We have a wrought iron queen bed frame, a big wooden chest of drawers, and an antique wooden desk and chair we can offer. The mattress is really comfortable. About the house: It is a cosy and sunny house, with off-street parking, three bedrooms, a bathroom (both a bath and a shower), separate toilet, reverse cycle air-con, dishwasher, and bathroom heat lamps. There is also a big backyard with lots of fruit trees, a big organic veggie garden, a garage and bike shed, as well as a large front garden. About the area: Mount Ainslie is behind our house and you can walk up it via a ridge that also runs along in front of the house, with lots of pretty birds and kangaroos. We are in between Dickson and Ainslie shops (a 5 min ride either direction, or you can take the bus), and there’s a bus that goes to the city/ANU directly opposite our house. Otherwise, the bike path is just a few metres from our house, is a pretty ride through the wetlands and takes about 10-15 minutes to get to Civic. The suburb has nice wide streets and is a relaxing haven from the city, while also feeling very close to everything.

The apartment in De Burgh street is in a nice, secure complex with easy access to public transport (a Red Rapid stop 5 minutes walk away), bike paths, and is within easy walking distance of the city centre (roughly 30 mins walk). It has small courtyards at the front and rear of the apartment (ground floor) with high bush fences for privacy, and plenty of parking on the street if you have a car (potential to use underground visitor parking). The hot water is great, there is aircon/heating in the living room, and it will be fully furnished (except for the bedroom and lounge-room). So if you have lounge room furniture and kitchen utilities (blender, jaffle-maker, I already have a toaster) you can bring that would be fantastic! Good stove-top and well-functioning oven (electricity not gas). Both bedrooms are almost exactly the same but mirror images of each other. The available room has a sliding door on to the rear courtyard and has floor to ceiling built-in wardrobes. The room is a decent size and should be able to fit a queen bed and a small desk. The bathroom is shared, a good size and is located between the two bedrooms (the front bedroom shares a wall with the european-style laundry and the separate toilet, while the rear bedroom shares a wall with the bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over the top and glass doors (no need to worry about shower curtains!). The weekly cost of $195pw doesn't include utilities, but these are usually not too bad (as there are no gas or water bills). The only bills are electricity and internet. Internet is split evenly, so $30 per month each.

Easy going housemates share this light-filled 5 bedroom home in Ainslie. The house stays cool during summer and features all the mod-cons you'd expect: washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, 5-burner range, even a wine fridge. During the cooler months, you can enjoy our wood burner fireplace or our backyard fire pit. The room is well air-conditioned and heated (both central) and comes unfurnished. Best of all? The location! The house is a 2-minute walk to Ainslie shops, 5 minutes to the wilderness of Mt Ainslie Reserve and, if you enjoy a tipple, you're just an $8 Uber from Lonsdale Street. I've lived here for about a year and a half and will be very sad to farewell it. Send me a message if you'd like to know more about the house! It's available from late June, long-term renters preferable.
