Description of the home
Hi all,
We’ve got a property in Deer Park. We’re currently furnishing the house and will be moving into the rental permanently from the 12th Jan onwards. We’re looking for people to team-up and share the cost of the house with us. If you want to send us a message please send us a little bit about yourself!
Weekly expenses are $240 which breaks down as:
-$182.5 P/Wk Rent
-$37.5 P/Wk Bills
-$10 P/Wk Household items (Dishwashing Liquid, Oil etc.)
-$10 P/Wk House fund
*These prices will be less if we decide to have a fifth housemate!
We want the household finances to be fully transparent and fair for everyone at the house. With that in mind we’ll keep an open document on the house account. If we end up with a surplus from bills or household items, we want to split that surplus back between us!
The property itself is a double-storey home with plenty of space. There’s a huge combined lounge and dining which we’ve already furnished. A second dining space in the open plan kitchen which we’re open to making into anything – We like the idea of putting a pool table there or making a little art space but any ideas or claims to the space are welcome! There’s also a quirky hidden den under the stairs which we thought of making into a reading den/nook but if anyone has a cooler idea we could be convinced! Outside we’ve set a table tennis table if you’re keen for some fierce competition! We’ve also got a huge double garage which could be used for storage if you’ve got some overflow.
The property is a 5 minute walk from:
-Coles
-Shopping complex
-Train Station
-GP Clinic that does bulk-billing
There’s also a gym about 7 minutes walk away. Strangely enough there’s also a trampoline park if you feel like taking yourself to flip city. FYI, if anyone is keen both of us were gymnastics coaches so we can teach you to front/back flip if you’ve ever wanted to learn :)
Whilst we prefer people around the age of 24-35 we’re mostly just looking for friendly faces who’ll we get along with. If you’re outside that age bracket but feel you’ll be a good fit don’t hesitate to shoot us a message!

I’m a teacher who’s moving for a contract in the Western Suburbs. Before that I was coaching gymnastics, though to be honest I'm not much of a flipper. I much prefer being a monkey and having a climb. If you’re keen on bouldering I’d love a fellow weekend warrior!
I’ve got a bunch of different interests and barely enough time to play with them. I love skateboarding just as a big storm breaks. Juggling, though I’m more often dropping things than catching them. Reading fantasy novels - I also have a soft spot for science fiction work Murakami novels. I also enjoy a decent film and am keen to hear about your recommendations! Calvary (2014) & Nine Days (2020) are two of my favourites. I’m also keen on board games and I’ve developed a (very) reluctant interest in Magic the Gathering because of some previous housemates who took to running household tournaments.
I’m pretty sociable and like to have a chat or play but I think in my heart of hearts I’m more a of a hermit than a socialite.
I’ve lived in a variety of different share houses in the past – some incredibly social and others more reserved. I’ve enjoyed both a lot and most of my best friends are former housemates. I’m hoping to live with people who also want a happy, enjoyable household that prioritises communication and making comfortable space for everyone.

I’m moving from Adelaide to Melbourne to start a graduate program at Jetstar! So… you could say I’m a bit of a plane nerd… or a nerd in general. Here in Adelaide, I’m a gymnastics coach as well – that’s how Luke and I met, but I reckon I can do a better flip than he can 👀
When I’m not at work, I like going to the gym (I’d love a buddy!), board games, languages, and the odd game of social table tennis. I’m also keen to explore Melbourne, so I’m up for joining someone on an activity or trying something new.
I’ve lived with housemates on and off for the past seven years, and I’ve realised I really enjoy a house with a bit of community - people who are happy to have a chat in the kitchen, share the odd board game, and keep things warm and easygoing.
I’m really excited to make some new friends in Melbourne. I’m also keen to try out all the Melbourne food spots, so if you’ve got favourites, I’m absolutely taking recommendations!
Sociability – You don’t have to be an extrovert! But we do enjoy a home where we can say hello, ask how your day was and have an occasional chat. No pressure but it’s an extra bonus if you’re down for a board game, or a shared meal every now and then.
Employment – We’d prefer someone who has a stable income or can prove they’ll be able to pay rent/expenses reliably. We’re okay if you’re a professional, a student, or working part-time!
