Student stays
Australia is home to some of the world’s best universities and educators, but accommodation can get a little expensive! YHA is a great option for affordable short stays in Sydney and other major cities – perfect for when you're settling in at Uni, or for a holiday between semesters.
With great locations across the country, you can cosy up in a private room during the semester within walking distance to some of Australia’s top universities, or head out on a reasonably-priced weekend getaway with your mates to iconic locations like Byron, Cairns, the Blue Mountains and even Alice Springs.
