dwell Village Melbourne City

Head to Melbourne’s central business district in around a 10-minute walk from your student accommodation, and soak up the cool café culture and street murals of this hip city. Check out the museums and arts venues around Federation Square, swinging by the National Gallery of Victoria to browse its extensive collection of international art. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, check out the stalls at the iconic Queen Victoria Market, picking up some gourmet cheese for lunch. You’ll be spoilt for choice around leafy Lygon Street, where you’ll discover an array of mouth-watering Italian eateries.

You’ll be able to see the vast skyscrapers of Melbourne’s central business district from your new home, set in the grand building of the former Old Melbourne Hotel. Walk to RMIT University’s Melbourne campus in 15 minutes, or the University of Melbourne in five.

Choose between having your own privacy in a self-contained studio, or making new friends in a range of shared apartments. Whatever you decide, you’ll wake up feeling refreshed from a good night’s sleep in your comfy bed. Check your social media feeds using the building’s optional internet, or catch up on the latest news using the mounted flatscreen TV in your room.

Make your breakfast with friends in the communal kitchen, which has two cooking stations, or stay at home and whip up a bite to eat with the cooktop and microwave in your apartment. But if you can’t function without a latte and a muffin first-thing, head to the on-site café. If you’ve got some free time before class, fit in a quick workout in the fully equipped gym, listening to music using the radio tuner and CD player. After, take a dip in the building’s heated swimming pool.

After your classes, you can chill out in front of the Playstation in the student lounge or challenge your friends to pool or table tennis competitions in the games room. Cook a bite to eat on the BBQ deck, and head to the study room when you’re ready to tackle your assignments. Laundry and parking facilities are available, and 24-hour resident support is there for your peace of mind.
