Your room in Australia, found from anywhere.
Drop a pin on any suburb — from your kitchen table on the other side of the world — and browse the rooms around it, one at a time.
Most rental sites ask where do you want to live. That is hard to answer about a country you have not landed in yet.
Put your pin somewhere
Any suburb in Australia. Bicton, Newtown, Hobart. Choose how far around it to look — 2 km if you want to walk, 50 km if you are still deciding.
Go through rooms one at a time
One room fills the screen. Swipe up for the next, sideways for more photos. Weekly rent, bond, and how far it is from your pin — before you have to ask anyone anything.
Message the host
When one is worth asking about, send a message. No forms, no application, no fee — a six-digit code to your email is the whole sign-up.
Search the neighbourhood before you fly
Passport moves your search anywhere in the country. Line up a room from overseas, then arrive with somewhere to sleep already sorted.
- Any suburb, any time. Drag the map, or type a postcode.
- A radius you choose. The map shows exactly what you are searching.
- Real distance. Every room says how far it is from your pin.
The bond scam, interrupted
Newcomers are the most targeted renters in the country. Kip Haus cannot promise there are no scammers — nobody can — so it does the next thing: it watches for the pattern and says something.
- Scam Shield reads incoming messages and warns you the moment money is asked for before an inspection.
- Report or block from any listing and any chat, in two taps.
- Never a bond before you look. Ask for a live video walk-through — the app reminds you.
Got a spare room?
Listing takes two things: what you want per week, and a pin on the map. Everything else is optional and you can add it later.
- Free. No listing fee, no commission, no upgrade.
- Say what is true. Own bathroom or shared, bond in weeks, which bills are in the rent — or say nothing, and the app says nothing.
- Mark it rented the day you find someone, and the messages stop.
Free to browse. Free to list.
