Do you have a choice of room? While all their rooms benefit from the same high standards, modern style, and great features, there are different types of apartments, sizes, and views.

This will be registered with the RTBA (VIC), RBO (SA), or the DMIRS (WA) and held as a security deposit for the duration of your stay. It will then be refunded at the end of the tenancy provided you have no outstanding rent, damages to the room, or cleaning fees. If there are any damages to your room when you leave, you may be charged.

All of their properties are mixed genders but automatically split into single male or female apartments. If you would like to live with friends of mixed genders, they are happy to house you together.
