Home Description

Description of the home

Hey there, I’m looking for a housemate to join me in my cosy sanctuary. My place is a comfy home with lots of books, plants, and natural light. The house is fully furnished, although it’s best if you bring your own kitchen stuff. There's one bathroom with a separate toilet. The lounge room/ kitchen is open plan - it has big windows overlooking the backyard, and heating and cooling.

The room I'm offering is medium sized and can be furnished or unfurnished. It has a built-in wardrobe, and there's enough space for a double bed and a small desk.

The garden is a bit of a joyful mess and includes fruit trees, edible flowers, some local native plants, and a street library. You're welcome to claim a spot for your own veggie patch :)

The house is in a great spot and is a short walk to the Werribee river, bus stops, and the local ice-cream shop. Nearby bike trails take you to the supermarket, Pacific Werribee, and Werribee train station. It's also a short drive everywhere.

Bills and expenses

About the occupants
I’m Laura, potterer, bird noticer, crafter, slapdash gardener, vegetarian, lover of ridiculous boating adventures. I'm an introvert and need my quiet time to recharge, but I also value a good chat.

I work from home about half the week and in the office the other half.

I’m fairly eco-friendly but I’m not perfect and don’t expect you to be.

I have a delightful dog who wants you to play with him.
Compatible people
I'm hoping to live with someone who has lived in sharehouses before, so they know how to do their share of the cleaning, and can strike the balance between setting boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others.

I'd prefer a housemate who has similar values or interests, but that's not really necessary if we get along.

I can’t live with cats, smokers/ vapers, anti-vaxxers, party people, or people who racist, sexist, or homophobic. Those things are deal breakers for me sorry.
Description of pets
Bilbo is a 4 month old Lagotto Romagnolo / Aussie Shepherd/ kelpie cross. He's an absolute delight and wants to play with everyone he meets :) He has pretty good manners, is toilet trained, and we're going to puppy school, but he is still a puppy so he will do puppy things.

Bilbo would absolutely love to live with another dog, but ideally they would be a low/ no shed breed.

I'm vegetarian but Bilbo is not.
