City Groves is a boutique upmarket student accommodation complex set up in a village-type environment. This property is ideal for those looking for middle to upper-tier accommodation and is suitable for both students & young professionals. This luxurious accommodation is nestled in a safe and secure complex near QUT, RBWH and UQ Herston.
We have 12 large townhouses which are all fully furnished and air-conditioned with a wide selection of rooms available from single to master bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms, private balconies, and air conditioning. No need to worry about extra bills for utilities, everything’s covered in the rent- including unlimited "Ultra fast" NBN internet (suitable for gaming and streaming!) There are no hidden costs such as coin-operated washing machines either, making it simple and easy to manage your budget.
This is a friendly environment with a mixture of Australian and international students- making this complex perfect for those who have are moving out of home for the first time, or international students interested in practicing English. Many of our students have formed great friendships with their fellow housemates during their stay here.
Unlike almost all other accommodation providers, our business is run by owners- not agents. Therefore we have a vested interested in making sure tenants are happy and the business runs smoothly. In fact- this is the main reason we chose to self manage- because no one will manage the property to the standard that we expect! In addition, instead of having 100's of rooms to manage, we only have 68 rooms, meaning we can reply to your maintenance and other requests a lot quicker. In addition, the manager and some staff live onsite!

This property provides a safe and secure village environment. Surveillance cameras are installed at the front of and inside the property, all front doors of houses are self locking, and all individual rooms have locks. The complex is fire compliant fitted with emergency lights, fire extinguishers and fire blankets as well as smoke alarms in each room. Fire safety inspectors inspect the property every

There’s also no need to use a timetable as they will turn up every five minutes, moving up to 1800 people per hour in super smooth, super quiet comfort with unmatched accessibility for people with mobility issues. Passengers can gaze out panoramic windows at the scenery whizzing by, with real time info on how the journey is progressing.Or if the scenery gets boring, patrons can surf the net with help from in-built USB charging points and on-board Wi-fi. Each bus has three large mobility aid bays in the first passenger compartment, low-floor design for easy access, 10 priority seats, next stop audio and hearing loops and automated ramp access at the first passenger door.
