Extended Stay Apartments Australia
Fully furnished extended stay apartments and long-stay accommodation across 15 Australian cities — save 10–40% on stays of 14 nights or more, no booking fees ever.
Extended stay apartments — also known as long stay apartments, serviced residences and corporate apartments — are fully furnished, professionally managed properties available for stays of 14 nights or longer. They occupy the space between standard serviced apartments (designed for short leisure stays) and residential apartment leases (requiring 6–12 month commitments and unfurnished properties), offering the flexibility of short-term accommodation with the space, amenity and economics of a proper home.
In Australia, the extended stay apartment sector is dominated by well-known operators including Quest Apartment Hotels, Meriton Suites, Astra Apartments, Adina Apartment Hotels, Urban Rest, Fraser Suites and Oaks Hotels — each offering slightly different product standards and pricing structures. The common thread is a fully equipped kitchen, separate living and sleeping areas, in-suite laundry and Wi-Fi, combined with hotel-style services including weekly housekeeping, reception and security.
The economics of extended stays are compelling. Standard hotel nightly rates for a room with no kitchen or laundry in a major Australian city typically run $180–$400+ per night. Extended stay apartment rates for equivalent or superior spaces in the same cities run $100–$220 per night on 30+ night arrangements — a saving of 30–40% on the accommodation cost alone, before accounting for the additional daily meal savings from having a full kitchen. For a corporate stay of 60 nights, this differential can represent $6,000–$15,000 in cost reduction.

Who uses Extended Stay Apartments?
Anyone Staying 14+ Nights
Extended stay rates apply to any guest staying 14 nights or longer — for work, relocation, insurance, medical reasons or leisure. The longer the stay, the lower the nightly rate, often 30–40% below equivalent hotels.
Travellers Who Want More Than a Hotel
A fully equipped kitchen, separate living area, in-suite laundry and weekly housekeeping — everything a hotel can't offer, at a significantly lower nightly rate for long stays.
Companies With Ongoing Extended Stay Needs
Businesses with regular stays across Australian cities benefit from our managed service — one contact, pre-negotiated rates, consolidated billing across all stays and locations.

The Extended accommodation advantage
Save 10–40% on Extended Stays
Extended stay rates for 14+ nights consistently undercut equivalent hotel room pricing. 30-night rates save 20–30%; 90-night rates save 35–40%. The saving compounds significantly over longer engagements.
Full Kitchen Saves on Meals
A full kitchen with cooktop, oven, fridge and dishwasher. Cooking at home during a 60-night stay saves $2,000–$6,000 in meal costs versus eating out daily — a saving often larger than the accommodation cost differential itself.
Separate Living, Working & Sleeping Spaces
Extended stay apartments offer a genuine home layout: separate bedroom, living area and workspace — compared to a hotel room where everything happens in one space. Critical for professionals working from the property.
No Booking Fees, Ever

Frequently asked questions
What is an extended stay apartment?
An extended stay apartment is a fully furnished residential apartment available for stays of 14 nights or longer — combining the convenience of a hotel (cleaning, linen, reception) with the space and amenities of a home (full kitchen, laundry, living and dining areas).
How much can I save on an extended stay?
Extended stay rates are typically 10–40% lower than equivalent standard hotel rates. Stays of 14+ nights qualify for long-stay rates; 30+ nights attract a further discount; 90+ nights often secures the best available nightly rate from operators.
What amenities do extended stay apartments typically include?
Standard inclusions are a fully equipped kitchen, in-suite laundry, Wi-Fi, weekly housekeeping and linen service. Many extended stay properties also offer a gym, pool, concierge service and on-site car parking.
Do you charge a booking fee?
No. ExtendedStays.com.au does not charge guests any booking fee. We are remunerated by the accommodation providers we work with — so our matching and negotiation service costs you nothing.
How much cheaper are extended stay apartments compared to hotels in Australia?
For stays of 30 nights or more, a furnished corporate apartment typically costs 20–40% less than an equivalent hotel stay on a total-cost basis. A detailed cost comparison for Sydney CBD shows a 30-night corporate apartment stay at approximately $11,740 all-in — versus approximately $17,957 for a superior hotel room over the same period (including meals and laundry). That's a saving of over $6,200, or around 35%. The saving is even larger during peak periods and public holidays, when hotel rates spike while apartment rates remain stable at a contracted monthly rate.
What is the minimum stay for extended stay apartments in Australia?
Most premium providers — including Quest, Astra, Convido and Urban Rest — set a 7-night minimum stay to access extended stay rates. Stays of 14 nights or longer unlock progressively better nightly rates; 28-night monthly rates are typically the best available. ExtendedStays.com.au specialises in stays from 2 weeks to 12 months. For stays shorter than 14 nights, standard serviced apartment rates apply and the cost advantage over hotels narrows — the sweet spot is 30 nights or longer.
Can I book extended stay apartments for a team of people, not just one traveller?
Yes — team bookings are one of our most common requests. Whether you need 5 apartments for a project team or 30 for a crew rotation, we manage it as a single engagement: one contact, one invoice, consistent quality across all properties. We negotiate block rates for larger bookings that reduce the per-head cost further, and we manage all changes — new arrivals, departures, extensions — throughout the project. A single 30-person team booking for 60 nights typically saves $100,000–$180,000 versus equivalent individual hotel rooms.
