Excellent value and perfectly comfortable for our family of 5. The facilities were clean and well presented and the staff were super attentive. I don't know if we stayed at an unusually quiet time, but we didn't have any issues with noise or other disturbances - in fact, the location was close enough to be exceptionally convenient to where we needed to go (including a short walk to shops and restaurants), but away from "civilisation" enough to be remarkably peaceful. Great paths for walking, etc. Considering that the cheapest hotel in the area was nearly twice the price but without the convenience of a full kitchen, two bathrooms, separate bedrooms and onsite laundry, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much! 🙂

I had 10 students, 5 each staying in 5-bedroom apartments. They all loved it and said if we go back in two years for another competition (a distinct possibility for many of them) they would like to stay there again! The full-kitchen, two bathrooms, and spacious living room were just what we wanted. It was much better than a hotel (and much cheaper too)!

Great University campus, very well maintained. The tree out the front of the uni are beautiful year round, with pink blossoms in spring, bright green leaves in summer, and red and golden hues in autumn.
Food can get quite expensive on campus, but they have microwaves where you can heat food up.
My home campus but also my favourite.

I go to Hillsong church at the uni. Church is awesome. I love my church.

Our services meet at 9 and 11 am and 6:00 pm. During the week is Sisterhood and also Connect Meetings at various places.

Presently our church appears to have more than 1000 people attending on Sundays. See you there!

Apart from ease of location the apartments in western Sydney University village were extremely suitable for our requirements for 8 people. It was basic accommodation but clean and well set out with everything required in the apartments. Towels were excellent, kitchen clean and well equipped. 2 bathrooms with 5 bedrooms very convenient. Parking excellent. Staff very helpful. Part of our party were extremely late arriving due to flight delays but staff excellent.

Only comments - bit difficult to find if you don't know the area a little. GPS no use. Only other comment - beds need better pillows and an extra blanket would have been great.

Thanks WSU - would recommend this place.

Nice quiet, affordable and clean place to stay when I'm umpiring netball at Jamison Park. I catch public transport there because they charge you parking. It's quite a way to the village but that's why it's quiet. I packed my own food from home.

We flew down to Sydney from Maroochydore in Queensland and stayed at Penrith. The Apartment was suitable for what we required for the 4 people, it was a bit difficult to find. It had 2 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. a good layout/set up and the price was really good and within our budget, the only complaint i had was that the cleaners or cleaning contractor had not cleaned to any of the rooms and apartment prior to our stay. no toilet paper, hand towels in the bathrooms and all the dishes and knives, forks, spoons etc were dirty and a lot of plates, bowls, cups and things were missing,.
Other than that it met our requirements for the time we were staying at Penrith.

I’d suggest an alternative for anyone considering living here!

Staff were reasonable, but accommodation was not the best. I lived in a small studio which was dated, full of marks and stains on the floor and walls, it had a horrible stained mattress which as like sleeping on concrete. It also had water damages walls in the bathroom and mould in the bathroom cupboard which had started spreading to everything else. Food would go mouldy in a matter of days after opening or being cooked.

When I reported this issue, it was never fixed and I was told by maintenance that it was because I had the place closed up and it needed to be ventilated regularly. I was also told that the water damaged walls in the bathroom was because of a pipe that broke a few months before I moved in.

Recently I have moved out. It took 6 weeks to get my deposit back, when I started calling to follow up on where it was I was told different things on every phone call.

I would SERIOUSLY consider an alternative rather the CLV and I would NEVER live there again or recommend to anyone!
