Dayman Apartments: What to Know Before You Book
Dayman Apartments is a student housing property located at Marsfield NSW 2122, Australia, in Sydney’s northern suburbs. It offers non-ensuite rooms and studios, with weekly rents ranging from AUD 340 to AUD 758. The property features communal rooms, outdoor spaces, and community social events. It requires a minimum lease of 25 weeks. This article reviews who the residence suits, what residents say, how its price compares to Sydney’s cheapest options, guidance on room types, and when to book.
Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
Suits:
- Students who value a strong social atmosphere. The building has two common rooms equipped with TVs, table tennis, a foosball table, and lounging areas. Regular social events are organised for residents.
- Those looking for a clean, modern environment. Multiple residents mention the facilities are “modern and clean” and rooms are in “excellent condition.”
- International students who want responsive, 24/7 management support. One review specifically highlights that “management is way too supportive and responded to any needed support 24/7.”
- Second-year returners: at least one resident moved back after a positive first year.
- Budget-conscious students willing to share a non-ensuite room (starting at AUD 340/week) in exchange for common-area amenities.
Does not suit:
- Anyone seeking the cheapest possible rent in Sydney. The city’s lowest student housing price is AUD 175/week; Dayman starts at nearly double that.
- Students who need a short-term stay. The minimum lease is 25 weeks (roughly six months). Short-term or semester-only leases below that are not offered.
- Those who prioritise a high location rating. The location dimension scores 3.5 out of 5 from residents – acceptable but not top-tier.
- People who require an ensuite bathroom in the lower price bracket. Non-ensuite rooms share bathroom facilities; only studios have private bathrooms (and cost more).
What Residents Actually Say
Three verified residents left feedback on the Amber platform, all rating the property 5.0 out of 5.0. Here are their full comments verbatim:
Verified resident (5.0)
“Moved back into Dayman Apartments for my second year of Uni as I had a good experience living there for my first year. The facilities are modern and clean. The two common rooms within the building are great places to hang out with your friends as there are TVs, table tennis, foosball table and lounging areas. The socia”
Verified resident (5.0)
“Moved in at the beginning of this year and have so far loved the place! The rates are very reasonable and the rooms are in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Dayman Apartments to any international students (as well as domestic students if you’re looking for a place to stay close to campus).”
Verified resident (5.0)
“Amazing place to stay. Will definitely recommend to everyone to stay at Dayman Apartments when in Sydney. The management is way too supportive and responded to any needed support 24/7.”
Residents consistently praise the modern facilities, supportive management, and reasonable rates relative to the condition. The social spaces are a recurring highlight. One reviewer’s comment cuts off at “The socia”, likely meaning “social atmosphere” – an indication that the common areas are valued.
Price Positioning vs. Sydney’s Cheapest
Sydney’s most affordable student housing option starts at AUD 175 per week. Dayman Apartments begins at AUD 340 per week (non-ensuite) and goes up to AUD 758 per week (studio). That is roughly 94% higher than the city floor, placing it in the mid-to-upper range for Sydney student accommodation.
The price is justified partly by the modern fittings, communal amenities, and on-site management support. However, for a shopper on a tight budget, there are cheaper alternatives in the city (141 student properties are listed across Sydney). Dayman sits above the median but below luxury student residences.
Indicative – confirm with the operator.
Room-Type Guidance
Two room types are available:
- Non-ensuite (shared bathroom): entry price AUD 340/week. Suitable for those who don’t mind sharing a bathroom and want access to communal areas. Best for social residents.
- Studio (private bathroom and kitchen): price likely at the higher end of the AUD 758 range. Suitable for those who prefer privacy, quiet study, or cooking in their own space.
If you are travelling with a friend and willing to share, non-ensuite could be a good option. If you need a private unit, book a studio early – studios tend to sell out first. The property’s room-type availability and exact pricing for each unit should be confirmed directly.
All prices are indicative – confirm with the operator.
Booking Timing
Dayman Apartments requires a minimum stay of 25 weeks, which lines up with standard academic semesters (two semesters of about 13 weeks each). If you plan to stay for a full academic year, you can sign a single lease. For shorter stays, look elsewhere.
Based on resident reviews, returning students rebook for consecutive years. This suggests that popular units (especially lower-priced non-ensuite rooms) may fill up early. Studio availability may also be limited. It is prudent to enquire about availability at least 3–4 months before your intended move-in date. The property does not advertise a specific available-from date in the current data.
