Accommodation

If you are a student at the Brisbane Campus, the Shafston University Mansions on campus are a great place to stay. If you are studying at the Gold Coast Campus, you can stay at the Blue Water Bay Resort, only a short walk from the campus. Alternatively, for both campuses you have the option of staying with a Homestay family in the local area.

There are also external accommodation providers in the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas which offer short and long-term accommodation near to the campuses. Many students also choose to stay in share house accommodation. Information for share houses is posted around the campus.

Due to the popularity of the Mansions and Homestay accommodation it is essential that students book ahead of time for either accommodation. Most students inform us of their accommodation preference during their enrolment.

Airport Greeting

To ensure a convenient and comfortable arrival to Brisbane or the Gold Coast, choose Shafston’s airport greeting service. Where this service is requested, a member of the Shafston team will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall with a sign displaying the Shafston logo. You will then be taken directly to your accommodation where our driver will ensure you are settled in your new home.
