Looking for a house Share in St Kilda Area

Holly_Golightly

Hi Everyone!

Myself and another friend are arriving into Melbourne tomorrow evening after a couple of months travelling in SE Asia like hundreds of others!

Our plan is to get work straight away but we dont want to hand over 30 dollars a night for a dorm bed in a hostel, this is day light robbery to us after having the luxury of 3 dollars a night for a bed in Cambodia!

We are on the look out for a cheap house share in the St Kilda area with fellow backpackers for the first few weeks. We dont mind sharing, We like to work hard but also enjoy a good party!

Is anyone else looking for ppl to share with or do you know of any where we could stay etc until we get back on our feet ...

Cheers Dee and Rebecca

You should contact Jackson Apartments. They are based in St Kilda. Good thing about them is that there is no contract and no bond - just one weeks rent up front and all you need is one weeks notice before you decide to leave.

Be warned though, St Kilda is pricey (compared to Asia anyway!) and you guys are going to be paying around $180 a week each for some where half decent.

OP, I've just moved out of an apartment in St Kilda last Saturday. It's a 3 bed apartment but with 2 beds in each room. We were paying $150 a week which is as cheap as you'll get in St Kilda tbh. Send me a private message and I'll forward you outr landlord's details. We only paid one week in advance too.

Look into some of the suburbs surrounding St Kilda too because St Kilda is one of the most expensive places to live. Try to forget whatever it was you were paying in Cambodia too, you're not going to get anything even remotely close to that in Aus.

It will be a shock to the system alright coming from S.E.Asia (it was for me) but if you want somewhere that isnt a dump you will be paying min $25 a night.
