The Taruna Lodge is situated within the grounds at Taruna. It has seven single rooms, as well as lounges, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry and two bathrooms. The lounge area has a double fold out couch which can provide another option for larger groups. Taruna Lodge offers a simple and clean accommodation space. We expect that the Lodge is left neat and tidy as you vacate.

Feedback from students is that staying in the hostel builds on the Taruna classroom learning experience.
