Student accommodation near James Cook University (JCU) Cairns Campus

James Cook University (JCU) Cairns Campus students have a UniLodge home within commuting distance of campus, the closest — UniLodge John Grey Hall — just 360 metres away. The distance shown is measured from this campus to the building — not an estimate. Every home on this page is purpose-run accommodation with a team on site around the clock. Between them they offer private studios — your own kitchen and bathroom, no sharing — and shared apartments where each resident has their own bedroom and the rent is split across the group.

The homes sit in Smithfield, with rooms from $289 per week at current published rates. Studios suit students who want their own space; shared apartments split the rent with flatmates. Power, water and wifi are typically included in purpose-built student accommodation rents, so the weekly figure is close to the real cost of living there.

Applying is done online — pick a home below to see its apartments, live pricing and availability, then apply in minutes. International students can book from overseas before flying, and homes that accept under-18 or non-student residents say so on their pages. If nothing here fits, the Australian city hubs list every UniLodge home in the country.
