Three steps

How FlatMatchr works

1List your room or profile

Pop your room or flatmate profile up in under a minute. We line up matches by what actually matters in a flat hunt: suburb, weekly budget, lifestyle, and lease length.

2Match with the right flatmates

Our matching engine surfaces the most compatible rooms and flatmate profiles first. No swiping through hundreds of mismatches - just the Kiwis who actually fit your flat.

3Message and move in

Chat directly with your match. Arrange a viewing, ask the awkward questions early, and confirm the move-in date - all from one place, no agency fees, no middlemen taking a cut.

Built for Kiwi flats. Real suburbs, real share-house life.

FlatMatchr was built from scratch for the New Zealand rental market. That means bond lodged with Tenancy Services, IPP-Act-compliant data handling, suburb-level filtering across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Hamilton, and pricing in NZD per week, the way Kiwi flats actually work.

How FlatMatchr is different →
  • Privacy Act 2020 compliant - we collect only what we need and tell you why.
  • Suburb-level filters for every major NZ city - not just "Auckland".
  • NZD weekly rent only - no USD conversion surprises.
  • Flatmate profiles that match lifestyle preferences, not just budget.
  • Direct messaging - no gatekeeping from agents or property managers.
