Living in Unilodge Melbourne City

The main feature of Unilodge Melbourne City is its central location. The property sits on Elizabeth Street in Melbourne's CBD, close to Melbourne Central and several of the city's main transport connections.

That position can make the daily routine more straightforward for students whose classes, work or social plans take them across central Melbourne. Instead of travelling into the city from a distant suburb, residents are already within the CBD and can use the surrounding tram, train and bus network when they need to go further.

The area also has a different character at different times of the day. University buildings, shops and cafés shape the daytime routine, while restaurants, markets, parks and other public spaces provide students with places to spend time once classes are finished.

There is also a Large Studio, which starts from AUD 684 per week, and an Accessible Studio available from AUD 619 per week.

The different studio categories give students some room to weigh up the amount of space they want against the weekly cost. The accessible option adds another consideration for students looking for accommodation with accessibility features.

Shared Apartments

The shared accommodation starts at a lower weekly price than the studios.

The Accessible Twin Share Room starts from AUD 399 per week. For students who want a larger shared household, the property has two-bedroom apartments from AUD 491 per week, followed by three-, four-, five-, six- and seven-bedroom configurations.

Facilities for Study, Socialising and Everyday Life

The facilities at Unilodge Melbourne City cover several parts of the student routine. There are areas for academic work and shared meals, along with services that deal with practical tasks such as laundry, printing and bicycle storage.

Study & Learning Spaces

Students have access to dedicated study rooms within the property. These provide a separate place to work on assignments, revise or spend time on coursework without having to remain in the bedroom.

The building also has printing services, which can be useful when students need physical copies of assignments, forms or other documents.

Having these facilities within the accommodation means that some routine university tasks can be handled without making a separate trip elsewhere in the city.

Social & Community Spaces

The shared areas give residents places to spend time away from their rooms.

The communal kitchens and dining room provide space for preparing meals and eating with flatmates. For students living in shared apartments, the kitchen naturally becomes part of the household routine.

There is also a theatre/cinema room, giving residents an indoor place to watch films or spend an evening with friends. Community events are organised by UniLodge as well, giving residents opportunities to meet other people living in the building.

For students moving to Melbourne without already knowing many people in the city, these shared areas can become part of the social side of accommodation.

Practical Services

Several facilities at the property deal with the everyday tasks that come with living away from home.

Onsite management and reception are available during business hours, while after-hours emergency staff are available when assistance is needed outside those hours.

Residents also have access to onsite laundry facilities, free bicycle storage, vending machines and elevators. Printing services are available for academic and other documents.

Air conditioning is available throughout the building, adding another practical feature for residents living in Melbourne.

Safety & Security

Security is another part of the accommodation setup.

The property has onsite management and reception, with after-hours emergency staff available for situations outside normal reception hours. These services give residents a point of contact during their stay and a way to seek assistance when required.

What's Included in Your Rent?

Internet access is included as part of the accommodation arrangement.

Residents have access to Wi-Fi building-wide along with high-speed internet access. For university students, this covers an important part of everyday life, from online research and coursework to communication and general internet use.

Having internet access available within the property also means students do not have to arrange a separate connection for their accommodation.

The CBD location means grocery shopping and other routine errands can be handled around the property.

Coles Central Melbourne CBD, Woolworths Melbourne Central and ALDI on Franklin Street are among the supermarkets in the surrounding area. These give residents several options when picking up groceries, snacks and household supplies.

The location of these supermarkets can be particularly useful for students living in shared apartments, where grocery shopping and cooking form part of the regular household routine.
