Where You Can Stay: Apartments and Houses

Uni-Stay offers students two types of accommodation: apartments and houses. Here's a quick breakdown of what’s available, as listed on the Uni-Stay properties page:

Apartments

There are five apartment options, each with its own setup and location:

  • Delheim

  • Milpark Mews

  • Laborie

  • The Yard

  • Melville Mews

These are suited to students who prefer apartment-style living with amenities nearby, often in multi-story buildings with shared or private units.

Houses

For those looking for a more communal vibe, Uni-Stay also offers student houses in Westdene. These are more traditional homes, converted to accommodate multiple students. They’re ideal for groups of friends or students who want a shared living experience with a little more space and a more relaxed environment.

Close to Where You Study

Living in Westdene means you're not far from:

  • University of Johannesburg (UJ) – Auckland Park Campus

  • Wits University

  • AFDA Johannesburg

  • Boston Media House

  • Milpark Education

Thanks to the location along Perth Road, public transport and pedestrian routes make it easy to get to class, grab food, or head into the city.

Helpful Student Services

Uni-Stay tells us that they don’t just offer accommodation—they also try to take some stress off your shoulders with services that support your daily life:

  • House Cleaning
    Need a break from cleaning during exam time? Uni-Stay offers once-off cleaning services through a professional company.

  • Emergency Repairs
    Whether it’s a burst geyser or a blocked toilet, emergency repair services are available to handle issues that need quick attention.

  • Small Repairs
    If something breaks—like a door handle or window latch—and you’re not sure how to fix it, Uni-Stay says you can report it and they’ll help sort it out.

These services are intended to keep your living space functional so you can focus more on academics and less on maintenance.

  • Melville’s 7th Street with its quirky cafés and live music venues

  • Campus Square Mall for shopping and groceries
