Off-Campus apartments (non
university owned)
These buildings (links
below) are on the property immediately
adjacent to campus, but are not owned by the
university so need to be booked
independently of Bond University. Some of
the buildings below (Varsity Shores, The
Reserve) will allow you to rent a room in a
larger townhouse or apartment (with other
students also looking to share a place).
This is the official
student eating facility, however, you can
use your dining plan funds at the other
cafe's and restaurants too. Cafe Bond is
open all through the day for breakfast,
lunch and dinner but closes for a specific
period after each session. Its cuisine
includes Asian, vegetarian and western
menus, gourmet coffee, cakes, sandwiches, soup,
soft drinks and ice creams. There is indoor
and
outdoor seating overlooking the lake.
Juicy Bits
This is one of the coffee
shops on campus serving all day breakfast.
It has open air seating and is open from
8.00 am – 9.00 pm Monday to Thursday and
Fridays from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. They serve
a variety of foods such as sandwiches,
lasagna, frittatas, sushi, cakes, tarts,
light meals and gourmet coffees.
Don’s Tavern
In order to get to Don’s,
follow the path to the left of the arch when
facing the lake. After passing Clancy’s and
the University Bookshop, keep to the left
and walk on. Don’s is next to Juicy bits
opposite the Fitness Centre. Don’s tavern is the Beer
Garden of Bond University. It is a place
where students come to relax their mind and
body from academic endeavors. Don’s Tavern
is a popular meeting place for the students
and has very few outsiders. To enter, each
