Where is Murdoch University Village?
Murdoch University Village is on South Street, Murdoch, WA 6150 — about 500 metres from Murdoch University's main campus, close enough that it's described as a quick, easy walk to lectures rather than a commute. Bus stops connecting to other Perth universities are within a two-minute walk of the property.
How much does Murdoch University Village cost per week?
Prices vary substantially by room type, and these figures (current as of this listing period) span a wide range:
| Room type | Weekly price |
| Non-ensuite room | $250–$305 |
| Ensuite apartment | $350 |
| 5-bedroom apartment (per room) | $277–$320 |
| 4-bedroom apartment (per room) | $305–$320 |
| 3-bedroom apartment (per room) | $315–$330 |
| 2-bedroom apartment (per room) | $335–$435 |
| 1-bedroom apartment | $519 |
The non-ensuite rooms are the cheapest entry point; the 1-bedroom self-contained apartment is the most expensive by a clear margin. Treat this table as a snapshot rather than a locked-in rate — confirm the current figure before applying, since student accommodation pricing moves with each intake.
What's included in the rent?
All utility bills are included across room types, which matters when you're comparing this weekly rate against a private rental where power, water and internet get added on separately. There's no guarantor requirement, which is a real barrier removed for international students in particular, and payment plans are available — either in full or split across six installments.
What room types are available?
Six configurations: non-ensuite single rooms, ensuite apartments, and shared apartments ranging from 1-bedroom (self-contained) up to 5-bedroom shared units. The shared apartments are the more social option if you want flatmates; the ensuite and 1-bedroom options are for students who'd rather not share a bathroom or kitchen.
What facilities does it have?
Each room or apartment comes with a TV, electric stove, microwave, and fridge, plus WiFi. Shared facilities across the property include laundry rooms, communal relaxing and study areas, a lounge, a theatre room, a games room, a garden and courtyard area with a BBQ, on-site parking, CCTV coverage, and 24/7 support.
How do you apply?
The property runs two main contract lengths for the current academic year: a 21-week option and a 51-week option. Two policies worth knowing before you commit funds: "No Visa No Pay" and "No University No Pay," meaning you're not locked into paying if your visa or university enrolment falls through — a meaningful protection if your offer is still conditional when you're booking accommodation. Pets aren't permitted. Some rooms are listed as unavailable for specific booking windows, so check live availability rather than assuming every room type is open year-round.
Is Murdoch University Village any good?
Based on the verified facts here — sub-500m walk to campus, all bills included, no guarantor required, and a genuine price range from budget non-ensuite through to a self-contained 1-bedroom — it covers a wide range of student budgets and preferences under one roof. The trade-off is the price spread itself: at $519/week, the 1-bedroom option is more than double the cheapest non-ensuite room, so which "Murdoch University Village" you're actually booking depends heavily on which room type you pick. Don't let a general reputation for the property substitute for checking the specific room type and price you'd actually be paying.
