Living at UniLodge Kensington

Kensington is a charming suburb in the heart of eastern Sydney, approximately four kilometres from the vibrant CBD. With buses and the L2 Randwick and L3 Kingsford light rail lines linking you to the city and the University of Sydney’s main campus in Camperdown/Darlington, getting around has never been easier.

There will also be a  convenient shuttle bus that will take you directly to and from the main campus, making your daily commute a breeze.

UniLodge Kensington is within walking distance to vibrant shops, cosy cafés and delicious restaurants, and a short bus ride from the stunning Coogee Beach. If you're feeling adventurous, you can take a scenic six kilometre walk along the coastline to the iconic Bondi Beach, soaking in the breathtaking views along the way.

This state-of-the-art accommodation offers a range of stylish, fully furnished rooms, from vibrant multishare apartments to twin studios and sleek studio apartments. Whether you’re looking to unwind or get productive, you’ll find everything you need here. Stay active in the fully equipped gym, find peace in the yoga studio, or catch a movie in the private cinema room. For some fun, head to the music room or games area. When it’s time to focus, there are quiet and dedicated study spaces where you can hit the books in peace. Plus, the stunning rooftop terrace overlooking Randwick Racecourse is perfect for relaxing after a busy day. It’s the ideal home for students who want the perfect balance of social connection and personal space.
