KazzE Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ah, this will probably be on no use then, I know of a house share but it will be near Moonee Ponds My son will be looking for someone to house share - he is 26 and a programmer If anyone is interested please pm me I can put you in touch with him. Good Luck with your houseshare search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sarahstew Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 My boyfriend found a place through http://www.easyroommate.com.au/ . You post what you are looking for and they email you everyday with potential rooms. Worked for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Swingle Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks Sarah, where bouts is ur fella staying and what does he do? My gf will be out there as soon as she can but I need a place before. Houseshare seems the best way to start. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf will be out there as soon as she can but I need a place before. Houseshare seems the best way to start. Chris Yes that's exactly what he's doing. I'm going out there at the end of January and he was able to find a houseshare within two weeks of being there until Jan 5th. He's a carpenter and he's staying in Kew. It's a lovely room with a couch, bed and tv/wifi. He's paying $700/month. He did say he was really lucky to get the room as things are getting really busy with summer coming up. I think you need to call as soon as the ads go up! I think he actually found it on gumtree, though he did register for easyroommate as well. Good luck!
