Home Description

Description of the home

I’m looking for someone (female only - no couples) to share my house in Trevallyn with me and my cat, Salep. Rent is $782.14 per calendar month (approximately $181 per week), not including internet and electricity, with a bond of $600. Looking for someone to stay for 6 months or more, but with an initial probationary period of 3 months, which can be extended if we’re a good fit.

The bedroom is a sunny space with stunning views of the Tamar River, the Silo Hotel, and Invermay, complete with a blockout blind. The room can be semi-furnished (double bed, shelving, clothing rack), or I can store everything for a completely empty room, ready for your own furniture.

The rest of the house is fully furnished and includes a light and airy living and dining area. The kitchen is large, with a walk-in pantry, and fully equipped with many cooking appliances (air fryer, slow cooker, rice cooker, etc.). There’s additional storage in the common areas, reverse cycle air-conditioning, and a cozy wood-fired heater for the colder months. The shared bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, and the deck includes a BBQ for outdoor cooking.

Only on-street parking is available. Being an older house, it has its quirks but plenty of charm. The location is excellent—just 5 minutes by car or a 25-minute walk to the CBD. It’s also a 5-minute walk to Trevallyn IGA, bakery, and chemist, with two bus stops within a 5-minute walk.
You'll need to complete an application with the real estate agent to become an approved tenant. The property is strictly non-smoking and drug-free.

About the occupants
Hi, I’m Gaby (39F). I work from home running my own small business and spend most weekends at markets or visiting family. You'll often find me reading, listening to podcasts, trying out a new craft, or cooking in the kitchen. I love having lots of greenery indoors (as you’ll see from the photos) and have a small herb garden in pots on the deck. I’m easy-going and enjoy a good chat, but I also value personal space and quiet time.

If you think this setup could work for you, please send me a message with a bit of info about yourself, what an average week looks like for you, and what you’re looking for in a home.
Compatible people
I’m looking for someone (female only - no couples) who is independent, tidy, and respectful when it comes to maintaining shared spaces. This would suit someone who enjoys a peaceful, relaxed environment and doesn’t mind living in an older house with character. Preferably with previous share-house experience. You don’t need to love cats—just be comfortable sharing space with one. Salep(the cat) is fiercely independent, doesn’t like being picked up, and will only occasionally seek a warm lap to sit on. Please note: this is not suitable for smokers or anyone allergic to cats.
Description of pets
My cat, Salep, is an older indoor-only cat who takes her time warming up to new people. She spends most of her time sleeping or bird-watching on the deck.
