Intro
UniLodge Auckland is more than just a building, its a village. There are two connected student complexes - UniLodge on Anzac and UniLodge on Beach, joined together with covered walkways. This gives you access to all the great facilities at both buildings! There are also onsite multilingual staff to help you throughout the year so you will feel right at home the moment you move in.
Both of our University of Auckland student accommodation facilities have been specifically designed with the student lifestyle in mind. Students can live in single studio or one bedroom apartments or choose to share with other students in two, three and four bedroom apartments. As in all UniLodge student housing facilities, student apartments are fully furnished and self contained, and students feel safe as each apartment operates with full security access.
UniLodge Auckland is conveniently located just outside the University of Aucklands campus and the city is just a short walk away. We have an exclusive arrangement with the university to provide quality accommodation for its students so you know everything will be top notch. To secure your place, you need to apply directly to the University of Auckland.
