Varsity Apartments

At your student accommodation at Varsity Apartments, you’re a short bus ride from Mooloolaba Beach, one of the safest swimming beaches in the area. Take surfing lessons or rent a kayak from Hirehut and paddle up river to Mooloolah National Park, spotting kangaroos and wildflowers on the way. Then, come face to face with sharks and stingrays at Underwater World, or hit the luxe boutiques on The Esplanade for a bit of retail therapy. In the evening, curb your hunger with sweet and sticky ribs at Yankee Bar, or try the tapas at Lot 104 Espresso & Wine Bar.

From Varsity Apartments, you’re a 12-minute walk to the University of the Sunshine Coast, so the hardest thing you’ll face in the morning is getting out of your cosy double bed. Once you’re on campus, kick-start your day with a caffeine hit at The Good Bean Espresso Bar and you’ll be ready for whatever the day has in store.

You’ll find your nearest bus stop is a block away and you can pick up fresh groceries from the IGA X-press, just a 10-minute walk from home. If you want to explore farther afield, hire a car and drive down to Australia Zoo to encounter native creatures, or take a day trip into the hinterland to explore the aboriginal art galleries and quaint café’s in Montville.

Back home at Varsity Apartments, you’ll have plenty to keep you occupied. Cool off in the swimming pool, or challenge friends to a game of basketball or tennis. Fire up the outdoor barbecue and have an alfresco feast with your neighbours, or head into your shared apartment and prepare a tasty meal in your fully equipped kitchen. Your accommodation comes decked out with modern furniture and appliances – even cutlery, crockery, pots and pans are included.

After dinner, retreat back to your double bedroom and have a shower in your private ensuite. Settle down at your desk, connect to the internet and finish writing your essays on your laptop. When it’s time to hit the hay, you’ll get a good night’s sleep knowing there’s a 24-hour security patrol.
