Exceptional Support and Communication – Lisa is the Best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot thank Lisa Ning enough for the incredible service and support she provided during our time at UniLodge. We went through a particularly hard time recently in Brisbane, and Lisa was a constant source of help. She is, without a question, the best communicator I have ever encountered—always prompt, clear, and professional. Beyond her efficiency, she has a truly charming personality that makes everyone feel welcome. Without her, our experience at UniLodge would have been completely different. She goes above and beyond for the residents, and we are so grateful for everything she did for us. She will be greatly missed! ☺️

Living at 9–19 Castlebar Street has been a wonderful experience. I have been here for a long time, and it truly feels like home — a safe, clean, and quiet place to live. Everyone in the building is respectful, and the administration team is exceptional. They are always friendly, approachable, and quick to respond to any questions or maintenance requests. I really appreciate how attentive and supportive they are — it makes living here even more enjoyable and stress-free. I love the atmosphere and the surroundings. The location is very convenient, close to the city, with good public transport options. What I enjoy most is being able to walk to the city anytime; it feels safe and peaceful. It’s also close to beautiful green areas and the Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

You have to give credit where credit is due. I cannot speak highly enough of Ben the building manager and Vivian the receptionist and the establishment they are running. They truly do go above and beyond. As it was my first time moving interstate/living independently I was extremely nervous to do adult things like sign a lease, but the whole process was an ease. It was very straight forward, easy to understand and didn’t have any hidden costs or terms. The building is conveniently located and you don’t have to walk more than a few minutes to a bus stop, ferry terminal or supermarket. Both modes of transportation run regularly. The rent was 100% worth it and as everything was included so I didn’t have to worry about multiple bills. - Fully furnished studio apartment. - Unlimited Wi-Fi (You are allocated a certain amount but I never ran out and I used it a lot) - Unlimited power and water. - The building is secure and can only be accessed by if you have a keycard once they leave. - Again, conveniently located in a safe suburb was a bonus. Would 100% recommend.

Lisa was absolutely lovely! The rooms are recently renovated and look great. I haven’t moved in yet, but Lisa made me feel very welcome, and I haven’t noticed any red flags so far. It seems clean, affordable, and ideal if you’re working or studying in Brisbane. The staff are incredibly helpful, especially Lisa!
