Yarra House

Located right in the heart of Melbourne Polytechnic, Yarra House is your new home away from home. Just minutes from classrooms, lecture theatres, the gym and other campus facilities, theres no better place to enjoy university life to the fullest!

 As part of Melbourne Polytechnics Fairfield campus, getting to class from your student accommodation Yarra House is as easy as walking out your front door. On weekends, spend a lazy afternoon at Fairfield Park Boathouse, floating down river in a vintage rowboat or feasting on sumptuous cream cakes in the Tea Gardens. Admire spectacular city views whilst hiking Yarra Bend Parks scenic trails, get your gourmet coffee fix at Apte, a caf that doubles as an art gallery, or catch a play at renovated warehouse venue The Theatre Husk. 

 After a busy day, come home to your room at Yarra House for a well-earned rest. Stop to greet your friends on your way through the lobby lounge, then push open the door to your apartment and set your bags down on the bed. Grab a drink from the bar fridge and enjoy it out on the balcony, before switching on the aircon and settling down to study at your desk. Use the high speed internet to research your assignments; or brainstorm a group project in the communal study areas. 

With work out the way, drop your clothes off at the laundry, before heading to the games room to catch up with your friends. Try your hand at table tennis, get caught up in a pool tournament, or simply kick back and relax on the comfy couches. Later, whip up something tasty for dinner in the newly refurbished communal kitchens, or get together with neighbours around the garden barbecue and eat out under the stars. For a fun night out in the neighbourhood, head for the nearby Grandview Hotel for a karaoke session.
