About the room

Looking for someone to take over my room in a two-story home, available immediately. I’m moving out to move in with my partner whose purchasing his own home (I wouldn’t leave otherwise - my flat mates are awesome!).

The lease runs until November, making it a great temporary option with the possibility to sign on yourself for 2026 if you’re interested.

  • Fits a double bed comfortably or a single bed with plenty of space for a large desk.
  • Built-in cupboard for storage.

🏡 House Features:

  • Spacious, sunlit living area with heat pump
  • Shared upstairs bathroom with a shower + separate toilet (shared with 2 others)
  • Laundry area with a washer and dryer.
  • Double garage with ample storage + extra storage in the backyard shed.
  • Outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxation.
  • Quiet back section, set off the road.

📍 Location Perks:

  • 5-minute walk to Ilam shops, which include a fruit and veg store, butcher, pharmacy, op shop and more!
  • 15 min walk to New World Ilam

About the roomies

You’ll be living with a friendly and considerate group of flat mates (2x female, 2x male) in their mid-20s to mid-30s, a mix of professionals and older students. Plus an awesome small bird named Pepper (visits shared areas occasionally).

The vibe is quiet and relaxed—definitely not a party house—but still social. They enjoy occasional communal meals, board games, and the occasional TV night together. Everyone is active, crafty, and respectful of each other’s space.

The flat is kept tidy with shared cleaning duties, and essentials like dish tablets and cleaning products are split evenly (in addition to rent). Non-smokers only please. Security deposit negotiable.

If this sounds like the kind of place you’d feel at home in, send me a message and we can organise a viewing asap😊
