If you want somewhere to walk outside class time, look at Iglu Flagstaff Gardens on Batman Street. The gardens are opposite, with the market and station nearby, and weekday breakfast in the building. It may suit students who like green space and a residence community; choose sharing or a studio around your own routine.
Iglu offers two-person shared apartments and studios. In a shared apartment, you usually have a private bedroom and share the kitchen and, in some room types, the bathroom. A studio gives you more privacy. Inclusions vary by room type, so confirm the kitchen, bathroom and furniture arrangement before you book.
The building has 24-hour support, secure access and Wi-Fi, study areas, a gym, lounge and games spaces, terraces and barbecues, bicycle storage and laundry. Free breakfast and coffee are available on weekdays, and resident activities run regularly. It can be handy to grab breakfast before an early class.

RMIT City is about a 14-minute walk or a six-minute cycle. You can walk, cycle or take a tram to the University of Melbourne; check the route to your teaching building. Flagstaff station is around five minutes away on foot, giving you plenty of transport options.
Aldi West Melbourne is about a seven-minute walk for a quick grocery shop, and Woolworths Metro at Queens Place is around 500 metres away. Walk through Flagstaff Gardens to Queen Victoria Market for a wider choice of fruit, vegetables and meat. La Trobe Street leads towards CBD shops and places to eat. The city has more options for Asian groceries, pharmacies and bank branches, so check whether your regular shop sits along your route to class.
Google reviews displayed on Iglu’s site often mention friendly staff, weekday breakfast and resident events. Some residents also value the gym, study areas and shared spaces. A student who said they lived here in 2025 found the facilities and breakfast useful, while feeling that the rent was on the expensive side. Compare breakfast, activities and included bills against your total budget rather than looking at weekly rent alone.
Iglu may suit you if you like shared spaces, breakfast and organised activities. If you want a private kitchen and bathroom, compare the price difference between a studio and a shared apartment. Ask whether your room type has a shared bathroom, how much kitchen bench space there is, what laundry costs and what the rent includes. If you are heading to RMIT regularly, try the walk to your teaching building once to get a feel for the morning route.
If weekday breakfast, on-site support, study areas and exercise facilities matter to you, compare Iglu’s room types and rents.
