👯♂️ About Us
We’re a friendly and easy-going Chinese couple sharing the home with our lovely cat, Little 🐱.
We enjoy a quiet, tidy, and peaceful environment — this isn’t a party house.
We mostly keep to ourselves and appreciate a calm home after work, so this would suit someone who is independent, mature, and respectful.
We’d love someone who:
- Responsible and mature
- Keeps shared spaces clean after use
- Respects others’ rest time (no loud cooking or noise after 11:30 pm)
- Is fine living with a cat (sorry, no additional pets)
💬 Interested?
If this sounds like your kind of home, please send a message introducing yourself —
a few words about your work/study situation, lifestyle, and preferred move-in date.
We’d love to find someone who’ll enjoy the same peaceful vibe!
👫 Your Future Roommates
Mickey (F) –
Accounting grad and full-time staff at ANU student accommodation. Speaks Chinese at home to keep the language sharp. Happy, silly, and always up for a laugh. Animal lover and travel addict.
Spencer (M) –
Business Administration grad at UC, proactive jobseeker. Homebody during the week, but often dragged out on Mickey’s travel adventures on weekends. Excellent cook and lowkey glued to his phone.
🐾 Little (M) –
Our 5-year-old indoor cat, recently rescued and approved by RSPCA ACT. He’s friendly with humans and enjoys company, but we cannot accommodate additional pets because he’s reactive to dogs and not tested for cats.
