About the property
Flatmate Wanted – Elwood (Rent from mid-February)
We’ve got a spare room becoming available in our Elwood apartment and are looking for the right person to join our little home community.
Important timing note:
We’re looking for someone who is ready to start paying rent from mid-February. You’re welcome to move in any time from that point, but rent would commence from mid-Feb regardless.
The place
Rent: $200 per week
Location: Elwood, right near the St Kilda Botanical Gardens
Short walk to Acland Street, cafés, bars and the beach
Close to tram lines and a nearby train station
Open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with a great communal feel
Bathroom shared with two others
The household
We’re a quiet, week-night working household. This is a non-party, non-drug, non-loud-noise home. We’re generally winding down by midnight and value a calm, respectful environment.
We deeply value a proactive approach to maintaining the home. That doesn’t mean perfection — it means:
Shared spaces being kept clear and uncluttered
Things being put back where they belong
Everyone naturally pitching in to keep the place functioning well
We’re looking for someone who enjoys contributing to a home rather than just doing the bare minimum — because that’s how we all approach it.
Shared-living vibe
We’ve got a strong community feel and enjoy sharing rather than splitting everything down to the last teaspoon.
That includes:
Board games, skateboards and shared items living in communal spaces
Communal shelves in the fridge and pantry
Sharing household basics like cooking oil, toilet paper, etc.
Very much a “what goes around comes around” approach, not a strict “this is mine, that is yours” household.
The vibe
This isn’t a “shut your door and disappear” house. We enjoy:
Debriefing about our days
Spending time in shared spaces
Playing video games or board games
Watching shows together occasionally
Quiet, social, and considerate is the sweet spot.
About us
Sam – high school science teacher at a nearby school. Into basketball, camping, hiking, biking, skateboarding, surfing, reading, gaming and chilling out.
Lance – from New Zealand, living in Australia for 6+ years. Works as a formworker (tradie), loves working on his car, hiking, camping and photography.
Lance’s girlfriend also lives with us and is into arts, crafts and music.
Who we’re looking for
Late 20s to early 30s
Living full-time in Australia (PR preferred)
Non-party, non-smoker
No big gatherings or frequent late nights
Friends visiting occasionally is totally fine — we’d love to meet them
Someone who values shared living, mutual contribution, and a calm home
Comfortable paying rent from mid-February
If you’re after a peaceful, shared, genuinely lived-in home rather than a party house — and you like the idea of contributing to something communal — we’d love to hear from you.
Send through a bit about yourself and what you’re looking for in a home.
