For students

Find a room near campus

JourneyStead lists rooms, beds and flats near your campus, from landlords whose listings our team has checked. Search by how far you want to walk, by your budget, and by whether a place is NSFAS accredited.

Search near your campus

Choose your campus, and JourneyStead shows what is close to it, nearest first, with the distance on every listing.

Narrow it down by rent, by a room or a bed, by furnished, by NSFAS accreditation, and by whether a place is for women only or men only.

Every listing is checked

A listing goes live only after someone at JourneyStead has looked at it. A landlord with a verified badge has been checked by our team as well.

If something about a listing is wrong, report it from the listing's page. Our team reads every report.

Stay safe

Pay a deposit or rent only through JourneyStead, and only after you have signed the lease. That way you can secure a place from home, without travelling to see it first.

Keep your conversations on JourneyStead. If someone asks you to pay by e-wallet, or into a stranger's account, to hold a room, report the conversation.

You get the street address when you book a viewing. Go in daylight, and take someone with you if you can.

Hear about new places first

Save a search, and JourneyStead emails you once when a new listing matches it. Save the listings you like, to compare them later.

Ask questions, and book a viewing

Message the landlord from the listing. Once they reply, you can see how to reach them directly.

Where a landlord has set viewing times, book one yourself, and move or cancel it if your plans change.
