Students who would like to share an apartment but retain their own room can see the many shared apartment arrangements, including the two-, four-, five-, and six-bedroom possibilities.
For students who prefer a more private arrangement, there are also 2 Bed Studio Apartment and Ultra Studio Apartment options available. The 1-bed apartment is the most expensive of the options and is a fully self-contained living space.
The prices listed above are the starting prices given to the property and are subject to vary based on availability and tenancy terms. Students are advised to check the House of Student website for the most up-to-date pricing and specific booking terms prior to booking.
A student residence needs to accommodate more than sleeping and studying. Scape Queensberry has a selection of shared facilities that give residents places to work, exercise, cook, relax and spend time with other students.
Students can use the Study Lounges and Study Rooms when they need somewhere away from their bedroom to concentrate on assignments, reading or group projects. Having separate study areas also gives residents a change of setting during longer periods of university work.
In the common spaces, there are numerous options for spending time outside of studying. Social Spaces and the Lounge Area offer areas for tenants to meet other individuals in the building, while the Rooftop Terrace gives an outdoor environment with city views.
The BBQ area can be used for informal meals and gatherings with friends. There is also a Rooftop Cinema, allowing people another opportunity to relax and watch films without having to organise an evening out elsewhere in the city.
For those residents who prefer to continue a regular regime of exercise alongside their university work, a gym is accessible on site. It may also be easier to schedule exercise around lectures, study sessions and other commitments if fitness facilities are available within the home.
Daily chores are covered through the on-site laundry, while the communal kitchen gives residents a shared place to prepare meals and cook with friends or flatmates.
The kitchen is particularly relevant for students who prefer preparing their own food rather than relying on cafés and restaurants for every meal. It also forms another shared part of the residence where students can interact naturally with people living around them.
On-site events are also part of the Scape Queensberry offering. These activities provide residents with opportunities to meet people within the building and take part in activities beyond their usual study routine.
The Scape Queensberry Melbourne location at 599 Swanston Street sits in Carlton, an area closely associated with Melbourne's student population. The address gives residents access to a range of university, transport, shopping, dining and recreational facilities across Carlton and the nearby central city.
The surrounding area has plenty of places to pick up groceries, grab a coffee, eat out, study away from the residence or spend some time outdoors. Public transport connections further extend the area that students can reach from the property.
Students living at Scape Queensberry have access to several educational institutions in the surrounding Melbourne area. The universities and institutes listed for the property include:
University of Melbourne: Located a short distance from the accommodation, making it a practical option for students attending the university.
Victoria University: Easily accessible from the property.
William Angliss Institute Australia: Within a reasonable distance for students studying at the institute.
The proximity of these institutions is particularly relevant for students comparing Queensberry Scape with other student residences around Carlton and central Melbourne. The address places residents within a part of the city where university campuses and student services are readily connected through public transport.
Public transport gives residents several ways to travel around Melbourne from the Scape Queensberry area.
Trams: Queensberry St/Swanston St #4 tram station is nearby, and the Melbourne University/Swanston St #1 tram stop is another connection. These stops make the tram a natural part of travelling through the surrounding university and metro regions.
Bus: Several bus stations are listed around the property, including Queensberry St/Swanston St #4 and Melbourne University/Swanston St #1. They make it easier to get around Melbourne by public transit.
Train: For further afield journeys to the adjacent Carlton district, Melbourne Central Station and State Library Station link to Melbourne’s wider train network. These stations are convenient for longer city journeys and links to beyond the immediate neighbourhood.
Living at Scape Queensberry also puts residents close to the everyday services that tend to become part of a student's weekly routine. Grocery shops, cafés, restaurants, retail destinations, parks, libraries, gyms and medical facilities are all represented around the Carlton area.
The next section looks more closely at these local amenities, along with security, rent inclusions and the practical details students should consider before booking.
Carlton gives residents plenty of places to handle everyday errands without having to travel far from the accommodation. Students can pick up groceries, find somewhere to study over coffee, meet friends for a meal or head into the city for a larger shopping trip.
For regular grocery shopping, nearby options include Mr Dad Asian Supermarket, ALDI, Press & Grocers Co. (Carlton), and Food-way Express Melbourne University. These stores provide a mix of everyday groceries, Asian food products, and quick essentials, giving students several choices depending on what they need.
There are a number of eateries and local venues around Scape Queensberry. Options around the neighbourhood include the Queensberry Hotel, Fico Carlton, Hi Chong Qing, Ms Frankie Carlton and Universal Restaurant.
Queensberry Hotel is also a pub, which is great for students who want somewhere local for a casual supper or a night out. The variety of eateries provides inhabitants a variety of cuisines and dining styles to pick from rather than being limited to the culinary alternatives directly surrounding the university campuses.
Cafés are a regular part of student life, whether the plan is to grab coffee before class, meet friends or take a break from studying. Nearby options include Café Carlton, Arrow Cafe Carlton, Her Cafe, Plus Coffee & Kitchen, and University Cafe.
These cafés add to the number of places available around the residence for a quick coffee or bite to eat. Students can also use the surrounding cafés as an alternative setting when they want to get out of their room for a while.
For larger retail trips, students can head towards Melbourne Central and QV Melbourne, both of which provide a broader range of shops and services. The historic Queen Victoria Market is another nearby destination, particularly useful for fresh produce and a wider selection of market goods.
Lygon Court adds another local shopping option within the Carlton area. With these destinations spread across the neighbourhood and central Melbourne, students have access to both everyday retail and larger shopping centres.
City living does not mean spending every day surrounded by buildings. Students can take a break at Carlton Gardens, Argyle Square, or Lincoln Square, all of which provide nearby outdoor spaces.
These parks can be useful for a short walk, sitting outdoors between classes or simply getting some time away from screens and university work. Carlton Gardens in particular adds a larger green area close to the student precinct.
Students who need somewhere suited to longer study sessions or research can use State Library Victoria and RMIT University Carlton Library. The Carlton Library is another local option.
Having several libraries accessible from the accommodation gives students alternatives to studying in their bedroom or using the shared study spaces at the residence. The choice can also be useful when students need access to library resources or a quieter academic environment.
Maintaining a regular routine is easier with fitness and healthcare facilities in the surrounding area. Students can exercise at Anytime Fitness Carlton, while Melbourne City Baths and Carlton Baths provide additional fitness and recreational facilities.
For medical requirements, PrimeCare Medical and Carlton Medical and Urgent Care Clinic are listed among the nearby healthcare options. These services give residents access to medical support within the wider Carlton neighbourhood.
There are also places nearby for students who want to spend an evening outside their accommodation. Queensberry Hotel and Bar Galer are local pubs where residents can meet friends, have a drink or spend some time socialising.
With cafés, restaurants, pubs, parks and retail areas spread around Carlton, students have plenty of ways to spend their free time without making every trip into a longer journey across Melbourne.
Security is an important consideration for students choosing a residence, particularly for those moving away from home or arriving in Melbourne from another country. Scape Queensberry has several security measures in place across the property.
Residents have access to 24-hour security, secure door entry, on-site security personnel and CCTV monitoring. The property also provides the Sonder Safety App, giving residents an additional support and security feature alongside the physical security systems.
Together, these facilities form part of the property's residential setup, allowing students to use the shared areas and return to their accommodation with dedicated security provisions in place.
The listed rent at Scape Queensberry includes several household utilities, which makes it easier for students to account for their regular accommodation expenses.
The included bills are:
Wi-Fi
Water
Gas
Electricity
Having these utilities included means students do not need to arrange separate payments for each of these services as part of their accommodation setup. The exact rent still depends on the room type selected, with the listed options ranging from shared accommodation through to a private one-bedroom apartment.
Students should check the current price, availability and tenancy terms before booking, as accommodation rates can change.
The Scape Queensberry address is 599 Swanston Street, Carlton, Melbourne. Its position places students close to the University of Melbourne and within reach of Victoria University and William Angliss Institute Australia, while the surrounding tram, bus and train connections provide access to other parts of Melbourne.
For students searching for Scape Queensberry student accommodation in Melbourne, the location is one of the main practical considerations. Carlton provides access to supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, libraries, parks, gyms and medical services, while Melbourne's central shopping and transport areas are also accessible from the property.
Students researching accommodation often want to see more than room descriptions and weekly prices before making a decision. Scape Queensberry photos can help prospective residents get a clearer idea of the property's rooms, shared facilities and overall layout.
Scape Queensberry reviews can also be useful when researching the residence, particularly when students want to understand how the accommodation is experienced by residents. Photos and reviews should be considered alongside the room category being booked, since a twin room, shared apartment, studio and one-bedroom apartment represent different living arrangements.
It is also worth checking the current listing before booking, since room availability and pricing may change over time.

Wi-Fi, water, gas and electricity are included in the rent, while 24-hour security, secure entry, on-site security, CCTV and the Sonder Safety App form part of the property's security arrangements.
The surrounding Carlton neighbourhood adds another layer to the accommodation setup, with supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, shopping destinations, libraries, parks, fitness centres and healthcare facilities all listed nearby. Public transport connections through trams, buses and Melbourne's train network further connect the residence with the wider city.
Students considering Scape Queensberry Melbourne can therefore compare the available room types, current prices, facilities, university access and neighbourhood amenities before selecting the accommodation that matches their preferred living arrangement.

I’ve lived in this place for a year and had the best experience yet in Melbourne As an international student who had no idea about the city or anything in particular, Scape helped me a lot with everything You can mostly find everything inside the building and everyone here is ready to help you out at anytime. The best thing is the location and how easy it is to access everything All the restaurants and Universities are just around the corner Ivy and Celeste helped me a lot thought my stay at every point to make sure everything was perfect If you’re in Melbourne and want the best student accommodation this place is highly recommended

I’m a resident of Scape. I’ve been lived here for over one year. This place left a very good impression on me, especially the staff at the front desk who were incredibly friendly and always able to promptly resolve any issues I had. They helped me a lot throughout the year and also supported me when I felt lonely. I believe it's rare to find such a good student apartment in this fast-paced society. Queensberry is definitely the kind of place you'll never forget after just one stay. The building's location is also excellent, right next to the tram stop, making it convenient to get to school. There are also many supermarkets nearby, so you can always find what you need. The apartment's events are fantastic, and I made many friends through them. I highly recommend this place as a home for first-year international students; it's truly worth living here. I would also like to thank all staff members here such as Anna and Risma.

Very bad maintenance. From personal experience and word of mouth from neighbors, most rooms have had issues with air conditioners and leaking showers. Hallways have a humid stench. Laundry and dryer machines are constantly down. Recreational spaces are small and barely used.

Great experience!! The facility is all new and in great quality. Staff are supportive and super helpful. A lot of events held every month so you will not be bored.

I had a great experience staying at Scape Queensberry. The place is clean, comfortable, and well-managed. Especially, Ivy at reception is amazing, genuinely one of the best receptionists I’ve ever met. She was super friendly, helpful, and professional, and thanks to her, everything went so smoothly. She really goes above and beyond to make residents feel welcome and supported.
