booking & application
Three kinds. Private rooms in friendly furnished share houses, entire homes ranging from compact studios up to nine-bedroom houses, and self-contained private studios. Whatever suits how you want to live, there's usually an option.
All bayside Melbourne: St Kilda, St Kilda East, Balaclava and Elwood. You're close to the beach, the trams and the city, with a Walk Score of 93 and a Transit Score of 86 across the area.
A good mix: working professionals, people relocating to Melbourne, working-holiday travellers and longer-stay students at Monash, Melbourne Uni, RMIT and Deakin. Settled, considerate people who want a real home, not a hostel.
Tell us what you're after, we match you to the right room or home, then you apply and can move in once the property is confirmed and your application is approved. Furnished and move-in ready means there's no waiting around for connections or deliveries. Ready when you are. start an enquiry.
No. Our approvals are straightforward and we don't put you through the wringer of a standard agency application. We just need to confirm who you are and that the place is a good fit.
money · rent, bond & bills
Rent is paid 4-weekly, that's 28 days in advance. We accept EFT, cash, card and PayPal, so you can use whatever's easiest for you.
A proper one. Your agreement is a formal Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Victorian) lease, with the standard statutory terms and real tenant rights, not a casual handshake or a licence dressed up as a lease. Your bond is lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) under Victorian law, so you're protected the same way any Victorian renter is.
You pay a bond on a formal Victorian RTA lease, and it's lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) under Victorian law, held by the government, not by us. It's returned to you at the end of your stay, less any agreed deductions.
Often, yes. For furnished medium-term stays we frequently bundle utilities into the rent so there's nothing to set up or chase, but it's not the case for every property. We always confirm exactly what's included before you sign.
Once you're approved, an upfront payment, typically your first rent in advance plus the bond, secures the place and takes it off the market. We'll spell out the exact figures before you commit.
living here
Three months is the minimum. Most people stay three to twelve months, and the flexible lease lets you extend.
Genuinely move-in ready. Furniture, whitegoods and WiFi are standard, and utilities are included where they're bundled into your rent. Bring your suitcase. the rest is sorted.
Case-by-case. Some properties can accommodate a pet and some can't, so just ask us about the specific place and we'll let you know what's possible.
It depends on the property: some have off-street parking, others rely on street parking, which is common bayside. With a Transit Score of 86, many tenants find they don't need a car at all. Ask us about any place you're considering.
Of course, it's your home. Occasional overnight guests are fine. In share houses we just ask that you're considerate of housemates and keep it to short visits rather than a second person effectively moving in.
Yes, within reason, we call it the 'changeable-back' rule. Make it feel like yours with things that come down cleanly at the end of your stay, just nothing permanent like drilling, painting or anything that can't be undone.
You keep your own space tidy day-to-day. In share houses common areas are usually serviced or shared on a roster, and we'll explain the exact arrangement for your property before you move in.
visas & eligibility
Yes, absolutely. Working-holiday travellers and student-visa holders are a big part of who lives with us. flexible furnished stays are made for exactly this. No long-term lease or local rental history required.
Just the basics: photo ID (passport or driver's licence) and a way to reach you. For visa holders a copy of your visa helps us confirm your stay. No reference letters or rental ledgers needed.
moving in & out
We arrange a handover that suits your arrival, we'll meet you or share secure access details before you turn up. There's 24/7 support too, so if your flight lands at midnight, you're not locked out.
Give us notice per your lease, usually about 28 days, and we'll guide you through it. A quick clean and a final inspection, and you're free to go. We keep it simple and friendly.
Because your bond is lodged with the RTBA, it's returned to you directly once the property's checked. As long as everything's in good order, you'll have it back promptly with no fuss.
still got a question?
tell us what you're after and we'll match you to a place, often the same day. send us a note and a real person, not a bot, not a call centre, gets back to you fast, 9am–9pm, 7 days.
