Why PrestigeStays exist
Finding a home in Melbourne for just a few months shouldn't be so difficult.
Whether you're relocating for work, studying, completing an internship, or simply staying in Melbourne for a season, most accommodation options aren't designed for medium-term living.
- Hostels
- Affordable, but often crowded and lacking privacy.
- Hotels
- Comfortable, but expensive for extended stays.
- Short-term rentals
- Flexible, but monthly costs quickly add up.
- Traditional rentals
- Usually require long leases, unfurnished apartments, and significant upfront costs.
- PrestigeStays
- Fully furnished, professionally managed homes designed specifically for stays of 3 to 12 months, giving you the comfort of a home without the commitment of a traditional rental.
Three ways to stay
Pick the shape of it, we'll find the room
We don't list every property online. Tell us what you're after and we'll send you the options that actually suit your dates, with photos, pricing and location.
Shared rooms
Two single beds in a shared apartment. The most affordable way into the CBD.
Private rooms
Your own room, shared living spaces. Some with private bathrooms.
Whole apartments
The full place to yourselves. Friends moving in together, and families.
Shared rooms start from $250 a week. Private rooms and whole apartments vary by room, building and whether there's an ensuite, so we price those when we send you options. Any bedding arrangement can be organised, just ask.

Questions
The ones we get asked most
-
Three months. From there you can go up to twelve, in whatever increments suit you. Availability varies by property.
-
Your fully furnished home, high speed internet, access to the building's amenities, and our support for the whole tenancy. Utilities are billed separately, based on what you actually use.
-
Yes. A lot of our residents secure their home before they fly. We'll do a video walkthrough and handle the paperwork remotely.
-
Yes, and it is refundable at the end of your tenancy, subject to your lease. Every bond is lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority, the Victorian government body that holds bonds. We never hold your money ourselves. $750 per person for a shared room, $1,500 for a private room, $3,000 for a whole apartment. One week of rent is paid alongside it before move-in.
-
Shared rooms start from $250 a week. Private rooms and whole apartments depend on the room, the building, and whether it has an ensuite or a view, so we price those when we send you your options.
-
If a property is free and your application is approved, sometimes within a few days.
