查尔斯达尔文大学 S2 2025新生住宿指引

Greetings from CDU!

With students getting ready to arrive in Darwin for the Semester 2 intake on 21 July, I wanted to share some helpful info to support those still sorting out accommodation.

CDU Village (Casuarina Campus)

CDU Village is almost fully booked, but there are still a few rooms available—so if your students are keen, I’d recommend they get in quickly:

UniLodge Darwin

There’s also availability at UniLodge, just a 10–13 minute walk to the Casuarina campus. CDU runs a private bus service from UniLodge to the Danala City campus, which makes it easy to get around.

Other Accommodation Options

CDU has a central page with information on student housing, homestays, and renting off-campus:

StudyStays

This is CDU’s online accommodation noticeboard—ideal for students looking for share houses or private rentals:

https://studystays.cdu.edu.au/

Homestays

Some students prefer the support of a home environment, especially when settling in. Provider details are on the CDU accommodation page above.

Short-Term Accommodation

If your students haven’t secured long-term housing before they arrive, I suggest they book short-term accommodation while they find their feet. A few places to consider:

·       Youth Shack Backpackers: https://www.youthshack.com.au/

·       Darwin Hostel: https://darwinhostel.com/

·       MOM Darwin: https://momdarwin.net.au/

·       Darwin Short Stays: https://www.darwinshortstays.com.au/

·       Top End Short Stays: https://www.topendshortstays.com.au/

·       Darwin Waterfront Short Stay Apartments: https://www.darwinwaterfrontshortstay.com.au/

For any questions about off-campus accommodation or if students need support, they can contact the CDU Accommodation team directly at:

accommodation.assistance@cdu.edu.au

Please pass this information along to any students who may need it and feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
