About occupants
Hi, I’m Rachel (40s), I value kindness, respect, and meaningful connection which also means when time allows, I'm happy to have a chat or share a meal.

I am an arts professional and work in my studio outside the home. I enjoy time in nature — bushwalking, swimming, beach days, spa and sauna visits — as well as yoga, films and documentaries, dinners with loved ones, and cooking nourishing meals (mostly vegetarian at home). I love farmers markets, fresh flowers and houseplants, and I lead a full, independent life.
Compatible people
A housemate happy to join the lease and split bills. Enjoys a peaceful space to come home to, and clean living environment. Perhaps you are in your 30s or older looking for a longer term shared home. Green thumb a big plus! Enjoys a laugh and a spontaneous kitchen dance.

It would be great if you have share house experience, and appreciate the importance of good communications at home. Kindness and reliability are great qualities. Ideally a professional who’s looking for a home environment rather than just a transient share house. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear a bit about you. Looking forward to connecting!
