Forest Lodge

You'll be living with 4x wonderful extroverted introverts (love our social time as much as our quiet time) people and we're all from different parts of the world:
- PJ (m, coupled with Kelly): 40s (feels 30s!), Kiwi, film-maker, lover of the All Blacks
- Kelly (f, coupled with PJ): 30s (feels 20s!), Hispanic-American, marketer, lover of travelling, going out for food/activities, TV/movies, and wine
- Sneha (f): 20s, Indian/Kuwaiti, masters student in architecture, lover of music and nights out with friends
- Diksha (f): 20s, Indian, accountant, lover of chill time, family, and cooking

Everyone is pretty chill here and as the house is so large, we don't often see each other unless it's in passing, around dinner time in the kitchen, or if we have plans together (like a movie night).

We love a good games night or a chill social gathering and would love our future housemate to be open to joining sometimes, but that's obviously not a deal-breaker :)

We have a few cooks in the house, but don't usually share food (apart from a bite to try here and there when offered!), and will sometimes go for meals as a house for a birthday or on trivia night. We're definitely open to family dinners, though, just haven't planned any yet!

We try to be a safe space for each other - a judgement-free home where there is care and kindness - so are always available to have a chat if it's been a hard day, borrow a shoulder to cry on, or simply need help getting in the house because of a wild night out!

We are a considerate and welcoming bunch, so please feel comfortable having friends over or hosting a dinner party, for example. Most of the gatherings we host here have an open invitation to housemates, and we love meeting new people in case you have friends who want to join, too :)

Everyone in the house is in a long term relationship (two are long distance), so very rarely will there be additional people spending the night unless it's a well-known friend or partner in town for a set period of time. That said, we don't mind at all if a future housemate has overnight guests over at any point.

Our ideal housemate is outgoing and friendly, has a good balance between private time and friend time, prides themselves on being a generally good housemate by cleaning up after themselves and actively being considerate of others.

We all really value honesty and openness, and prefer to respectfully and maturely talk it out, rather than let anything get under our skin, and are looking for a housemate with the same values. Consideration and taking pride in where you live is important to us. Respect for other's personal items and time is a given and we hope for the same qualities in our future housemate.
