Before moving into Iris Share House, I was in a tough spot. The rental market makes it incredibly hard to find accommodation, especially being unemployed due to a medical condition. Affordable housing seemed out of reach, and I was under a lot of stress not having a roof over my head. I feel lucky that I reached out to Iris-they were one of the first agencies I called, and they found me a place very quickly, much faster than I expected.

Living here has been a good experience. I enjoy getting along with my housemates. Everyone here is respectful, and it feels good to have that sense of community. If I'm unwell or haven't been seen for a while, other housemates would knock on my door and check in on me, which is like having an informal medical service. I also really appreciated the Christmas lunch Iris organised last year. It was a small gathering of about 10-20 people, but it was great to get out, socialise, and see other people.

I'm happy with Iris is their "rooming house" agreement. Power and utilities are included in one price, which is much more convenient than having to split power bills with housemates like in my former share houses. I travel often and knowing I can just lock my room and go without worrying about additional costs makes life much easier. I know I made the right decision to move into Iris Share House. It's a good setup that works for me, and I'd gladly recommend their service to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive place to live.

“Having a roof over my head, being able to cook proper meals, and knowing that my rent includes power and utilities helped me manage my finances better, which in turn improved my health.

The team at Iris Share House also provides excellent communication. Anytime I've had an issue, they have responded promptly. Their efficiency and willingness to address concerns make living here stress-free and comfortable.

What I appreciated most was the thoughtful tenant screening process and matching process. Iris did their best to ensure that new tenants have similar personalities and that everyone respects each other's boundaries. It's a great balance of being able to share a laugh with housemates while maintaining personal space.

Moving into Iris Share House was absolutely the right decision. My mental health has improved, and I've learned to build relationships with housemates while understanding their boundaries. I've gained new insights into living with others, including those with disabilities. We're all on the same page here—if issues arise, we address them, and there's always room for humour.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Iris Share House to anyone. It's not just a place to live; it's a community where I can grow, learn, and feel like I belong.”

“Living here has improved my quality of life. I feel easy and relaxed.
Everyone gets along, and I feel safe.

I’ve made the right decision to move in and have been living here for 8 years now.
I can close my door when I want privacy or talk to people if I feel like it.

I’m very happy to live here, proud to be part of Iris Share House, and I talk about it with my friends and family all the time.”

“Iris took the time to thoroughly conducted their screening process to ensure I was a good fit for the house and matched me to the right house, and they have made the right choice putting me here.

Living here has been a great experience. The team at Iris has been outstanding, polite, respectful, and always mindful of tenants' privacy. Repairs and issues are resolved promptly. It has a positive and relaxing vibe.

The community here has also been a big help for my mental health. Living alone can be isolating, but at Iris, I've been able to make new friends and have meaningful conversations with courteous and respectful housemates. It's made me much happier and more relaxed.

The convenience of having one price that includes house expenses and utility has been good, and the ease of paying rent through Centrepay makes life much simpler.

Now, I feel positive, confident and look forward to future. I've definitely made the right decision, and I would highly recommend Iris Share House to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and respectful place to live.”

“It did not take me long to make friends.

My experience with Iris went far beyond just housing — it has improved my quality of life.
I felt peaceful and safe at my home, and the Iris team was always there to help.

Whenever there is a problem like plumbing, the problem got resolved within hours.
I even made lasting friendships with my housemates.

This share house truly transformed my life, and I can 110% recommend Iris to others.”

“Thank you for opening the home to me. I feel safe and happy.

Phoebe is lovely to talk to. She is so friendly and cheerful.
She made the process easy to handle and work through.

I am so grateful to her.”

“I no longer have to struggle with maintenance and gardening issues, which is a relief.

I definitely recommend this arrangement and Iris who are very helpful, friendly and efficient.”

“At the inspection, the home felt safe, and the tenants were warm and welcoming.

I was reassured by the presence of CCTV for security and monthly cleaners to ensure the house is well maintained.
The house was tidy and well cared for.

This is the kind of place where men can regain a sense of stability — a place to rebuild themselves, not just to survive.”
